On behalf of the Radical Members, I would like to justify our abstention in the vote that ‘deplores...a situation is continuing in which media power is concentrated in the hands of the Prime Minister’ of the Italian Republic.
During an electoral meeting on 4 April 1996 at the
headquarters in Cologno Monzese, Berlusconi’s holding
was, amongst other things, defined as one of the country’s major companies ... a major communications business ... an Italian asset ... the heritage of a country’s work and skills.
These were not definitions given by Silvio Berslusconi but by Massimo D’Alema, post-communist leader of the then PDS, now the DS, who would be elected less than a year later – by agreement with Silvio Berlusconi and the whole of the centre right – as President of the two chambers – an attempt at a Convention – and immediately after as Prime Minister, in place of Romano Prodi.
It is a great mistake and an act of great populism, prejudice and dishonesty to see the concentration of media power owned by Silvio Berlusconi as giving him such a powerful, vice-like hold over the world of information and democracy itself in Italy."@en1
