Intercepts that are relevant to a crime should be used in relation to anyone, and especially if they represent citizens in Parliament or in Government. Thus even for Fassino and D'Alema. I hope that the Committees for the Lower and Upper Houses give authorisation to the request of the magistrate Clementina Forleo. Italia dei Valori will vote in favour. I believe that it is in the interests of the politicians themselves to demonstrate in the court of law that they are innocent of the accusations as an operation of transparency in relation to the country and the voters. They should do that rather than use the Chamber of Deputies’ Committee for Authorisation as a shield and thus allow themselves to be used.
Whoever is innocent has no fear of the law. A person cannot decide whether or not to stand trial. The so-called wind of anti-politics that in fact is just a negative opinion of the political class, must not be given more power by avoiding a possible judgement because of one’s position in Parliament.
Federico Palomba, Italia dei Valori’s representative on the Committee for Authorisation, will vote in favour of the use of the intercepts. I hope that the colleagues from the other parties will do the same.
