Don’t Gag the Internet
I am receiving so many emails and comments criticizing the draft bill ”New discipline for publishing and delegating to the Government for the release of a unified text about the reorganisation of legislation in the publishing sector”.
To be clear: the draft law was not discussed in the meeting of the Council of Ministers on 12 October because it was presented as a normal routine measure.
I read the text today for the first time and my opinion is that it should be blocked immediately. This draft law would in fact put a cloak over the Internet in Italy and would probably bring about its ending.
It’s a liberty-killing law and it is against the bloggers who each day publish articles that are never reported by newspapers and the TV.
I am part of the government and I accept my responsibility for not having intercepted the draft law, but as far as I am concerned this law will never pass, even at the cost of raising the issue of the support given by Italia dei Valori to the Government.

Dear Mr. Di Pietro,
I saw you participating in a talk-show on RAI International recently and was very impressed in the way you defended Judge De Magistris. Setting aside your background as a former Judge, which obviously leads one to believe you are biased, it's not often that you see a politician defending a righteous cause with such passion. Most politicians usually take the middle-ground in order to protect their own position or as one would say in Italy ... per tenersi la propria poltrona.
Congratulations and keep up the good work! :-)

Mr. Di Pietro you earned great respect for your responsability admission against this law that made many italians ashamed of being italians.
Please act according to your word and many italian citizens will be grateful to you and to Italia dei Valori. You just gain my vote, and the votes of internet and free speech lovers.
Keep up the good work.

CUCKOLD MASTELLA
The first son of italian minister of justice CLEMENTE MASTELLA, named Pellegrino Mastella, was betrayed by his wife Alessia Camilleri while she was spending her holidays in August 2007 on the boat of Mastella's friend Diego Della Valle, famous as patch-shoes seller. Alessia Camilleri, wife of Pellegrino Mastella, was fucked by the son of Diego Della Valle on his own boat when Pellegrino Mastella was still in the Ministry of Production in Rome where he works as useless and very salary-earner clerk.
Alessia Camilleri had moved off some days before with her parents-in-law, Clemente Mastella and his mature mistress Sandra Lonardo. All three sailed from Capri and went to Eolian Islands on the barge of the patch-shoes maker Diego Della Valle.
Some days later, Pellegrino Mastella also reached his tribe at Lipari. When he arrived there, he found his wife Alessia Camilleri totally naked on the boat with Della Valle's son and he understood that they had copulated without his knowledge while he was in Rome.
After this surprise, Pellegrino Mastella decided to divorce at once while his father, mafia's boss Don Clemente, tried to not let be known this horny story in the italian reportings.
So Don Clemente Mastella from Ceppaloni decided to block italian media about the knowledge of his cuckold son Pellegrino Mastella.
Clemente Mastella, as cuckold-himself, is now trying to block all web sites of the most clever italian people because they could let known through all the world this great cuckold misadventure of his son Pellegrino which - at now - is still nearly unknown in Italy.
At the moment Alessia Camilleri has leaved the house where she was living with the son of "fat" Clemente Mastella in Rome and she went to live with patch-shoes maker Della Valle's son in another northern italian city.
Now we all know why mafious hack Clemente Mastella is attempting to introduce a new bad law in Italy to limit peoples' freedom of expression.

EXCELLENT!!!! Way to go Mr. Di Pietro, its good to know that a minister looks out for web freedom, for bloggers ..like himself. Im suggesting you go on TV and ask for Levi/s resignation. It is shamefull to say the least that someone could ever write a law like that. Again, congrats! keep it up!

Di Pietro, why did you vote against the parliamentary inquiry on the events of the G8 of Genova?
Why the rights of the citizens to be informed using Internet are worth and the rights of citizens savagely beaten and abused by the police forces are worthless?
Amnesty International condemned the actions of the Italian police, foreign governments expressed their concern for the state of human rights in Italy. Some policemen themselves recognized the abuses.
WHY DO YOU WANT COVER UP THE ABUSES OF THE POLICE?!
