In piazza Montecitorio against the pardon

Tomorrow from 9:00am in front of Montecitorio, Italia dei Valori is organising a sit in to protest against the pardon law that is about to be passed by Parliament.

Among those present will be all the Italia dei Valori parliamentarians, professor Pancho Pardi, Marco Travaglio, the Friends of Beppe Grillo’s Blog and all those who are against this law that throws in the sponge on 10 years of criminal activity in the fields of the economy and finance.

The law on the pardon, created to free up the prisons, was widened to cover the crimes of false accounting, corruption, tax and finance crimes and crimes relating to the Public Administration.

We are faced with people throwing in the sponge, a really serious action that is only being partially reported and often in a biased way by newspapers and TV channels.

Italians need to make their voices heard loud and clear. They must do this in all legitimate ways. They must do this to avoid the umpteenth step back from real democracy.


P.S. In la Repubblica there’s a survey about the pardon law.
