Angelo Panebianco, the authoritative editorial writer of il Corriere della Sera, has written an article entitled "L'ipoteca giustizialista" {the justicialist mortgage}criticizing the agreement between the PD and IDV.
The crux of Panebianco’s argument can be summarised in his own words: "Di Pietro represents the anti-politics of the judicial-justicialist variant.”, “the proletarian expropriation of certain TV networks”, “give back order in a consensual way to the Italian Justice System”, “pathological developments of our Justice System”, “wild intercepting”, “limit the use of intercepts by the media”.

Panebianco confuses justice with justicialism, laws are made to be applied and politicians are not a separate category. If today the Justice System functions a little or badly, then it is due to the continuous interference from politics by the use of “ad personam” laws and thus the uncertainty of punishment.

To want to limit the use of intercepts by the media that in other words means not publishing them until the trial debate, is equivalent to waiting for years to find out about Fazio, Fiorani, Cuffaro, Berlusconi-Saccà who, in the meantime are safe from the judgement of the general public. The current law allows journalists to publish the intercepts when they are deposited and made available to both those who are investigated and the lawyers. To broadcast the intercepts in these conditions is not a crime, it is providing news. Anything but “wild intercepting”.

Di Pietro and his voters, do not represent a “justicialist variant”, but the wish to apply the laws without taking note of what anyone else is thinking. For example, to start off with the recent European verdict about assigning the frequencies used by Rete 4 to Europa 7, that has arrived after numerous others. Panebianco wants the end of the conflict between the Centre Right and the Centre Left that he claims are the result of justicialists who have had the upper hand for years, in place of dialogue.

There is no dialogue without justice, Dr. Panebianco, without that, only “mess ups” remain.

Dr. Mario Caristo, Honorary General Prosecutor at the Supreme Court of Cassation has sent a letter to Panebianco, with copies to Mieli, to the director of il Corriere della Sera, to myself, to Silvio Berlusconi, to Vittorio Grevi and to Sergio Romano.

I’m attaching the letter from Mario Caristo.
