The Italia dei Valori is a party that refuses to tolerate corruption and, for this reason, we are like a pain in the neck for the other parties.
That which is happening in the Abruzzo Region has already happened before in the Lazio Region and, even more recently in the Lombardy Region’s clinics. There is nothing new under the sun, and nothing will change until such time as some new faces are seen in politics.
At the time of the Tangentopoli scandal, construction entrepreneurs were bribing politicians in order to be able to continue working while now, it is the politicians themselves that have the money, the funds from the healthcare system, those funds entrusted for independent allocation by the regions themselves, and the politicians are using those funds for the purpose of buying favours and votes so that the system will ensure that they maintain their grip on power.
The Italia dei Valori party repudiates this way of doing politics. This is a party that would rather reveal the rot that has invaded politics because it finds these kinds of compromises totally unacceptable. This party’s "virtuous" behaviour, which we call "normal", distinctly bothers both the centre-right and the centre-left and has drawn all sorts of attacks against us and against myself personally by other politicians, who often make use of the public media that they control.
These constant efforts, aimed at discrediting us, are thwarted by reality, which sees the ruling class involved in theft and all sorts of other immoral behaviour on a daily basis.
Our protests continue to increase because, every day, the citizens are becoming more aware that they are being shamelessly ripped off and look to us for support. Unlike the gentlemen in question, the Italia dei Valori party does not have its own newspapers, nor its own television channels. All we have is our ethics, our morality, our competence and our sense of civic duty.
There is an earnest desire for change in this Country and the Italia dei Valori Party represents the only real alternative for radical reform of Italian politics.
In this interview granted to the foreign press, I highlighted the true reforms that are urgently required in order to overhaul the judicial system and to enable it to operate efficiently. These reforms are very different from the vile attacks, the decrees and the shameful laws that the current government has been implementing since the day after the elections, with the sole aim of liberating themselves from the machinery of the justice system and to be able to continue undisturbed along their chosen path.
The text of the interview will follow shortly.
