Solidarity with Marco Travaglio

Today Marco Travaglio has received very severe criticism, from both the majority and from those who should be the opposition because he has simply reported facts about Renato Schifani, President of the Senate.

I’m showing solidarity with Marco Travaglio because he has simply done his duty giving an account of the facts.

Episodes that cannot be changed or kept quiet just because, from one day to the next, a person becomes President of the Senate or, and just for this reason, wipe out with a sweep of the sponge his whole history and his whole past.

A journalist who tells the story by citing specific episodes, does not need anyone to contradict him. However, giving arguments that contradict each other must be done by politicians when they come face to face.

The reporter reports what happened. Paradoxically it would mean that every time he writes about or reports the story of a robbery, it should be possible to hear the version from the robber.
