The Lodo-Schifani law is an embarrassment, in the same league as the embarrassment of the court-case blocking amendment. One is the child of the other.
The court-case blocking amendment aims to suspend some 100-thousand court cases for a period of one year, amongst them a case that involves Silvio Berlusconi, and to do this it will have the same effect as a pardon.
The Lodo-Schifani law aims at doing the same thing, creating a circle of untouchable politicians and suspending their court cases for a period of 5 years.
What the citizens want is to have honest people filling the highest position in Government, people from whom they can learn by example, people without criminal records, without any court cases pending against them and without any unfinished business with the Justice Department.
It is a difficult concept to get accepted by a Parliament containing 17 finally convicted criminals and at least another 70 individuals who are experiencing certain problems with the law.
On Monday 7 July there will be a scheduled hearing in the Mills court case, which also involves the Prime Minister, and there are still two other scheduled dates prior to the summer break, namely on 14 and 18 July.
On the occasion of these dates, a reporter from the Italia del Valori party will be providing a detailed summary of the proceedings, just as we did in terms of the Spartacus case.
Then I want to remind all of our supporters that we will be in Piazza Navona on the 8th July at 18h00, to take back what these untouchables are trying to steal from us, namely our dignity.
Dignity is what distinguishes a subject from a citizen.
