Only a fearful power could decide to protect himself with a law that hinders the freedom of the investigations against crime, it reduces the freedom of Press and mainly confined to the right of citizens to be informed. Three principles of modern, democratic state - the duty to do justice seeking evidence to prosecute the crime, the duty of transparency and flow of information in the public sphere, the right to have access to the news to understand, monitor and judge - are in crisis, for fear that the investigation into the folders open new Civil Defence gaps in the government after the resignation of Minister Scajola.
is the true law of the caste that rules us and fear , as revealed yesterday Berlusconi, for "togas and journalists." For once, that the Premier is not a curse, but a Confession: legality and information are the two right-wing Berlusconi nightmares, and the landscape of television news spectral regime with the government in fact this law undertakes to block both. The objective is that the country does not know.
And above all, not knowing who remain immersed in the dominant common sense, no longer the danger on the combination of scandals, investigations and newspaper public opinion is born a free, independent and even critical.
This is the real issue: there is no privacy , which can and must be protected if the parties decide which judicial interception and destruction which made public, leaving intact the freedom investigation and the information. But these are the real targets to hit.

was revealed yesterday that Berlusconi himself, in a crisis of unconsciousness, abstained on the bill because it would want it even more difficult. The law, as it is, pleases no one and hurts everyone. Must be stopped in the interest of the democratic system, which must guarantee the control of legality, and which should ensure transparency of information.
Compromise is not possible on matters of principle concerning the rights of citizens, duties of the state. The right of citizens to learn to trust, not fear the normal requirement of justice, the need to know and become aware. Or stop calling people, and above all, freedom.
