"I voted against the draft resolution because it is harmful and does not comply with European standards. In the name of certain particular interests, the Left has infringed, among others, the principle of the application of uniform standards to all Member States. The prevention of a vote on the oral amendment moved by Mr Szájer provides abundant proof that the true objective of the resolution was not to show concern for freedom of the media. The real objective of the resolution was the desire to attack the Italian Government, and only the Italian Government. This is because that government is disliked by the Left. The Left is free to dislike the Italian Government. I do not see any reason, however, to go along with this attempt at treating the European Parliament as a tool, and with this attempt at involving our Chamber in an ongoing political fight within a Member State. Freedom of the media is also universal and important when it is under threat from Left-wing governments. I am very glad that we have rejected the draft, which was only on the order of business so that the Left could attack its political opponents in Italy."@en1
