report here the speech made at the meeting with Marco Travaglio:
This is the fifth event of the legal paths and begin to sum up this path to do together.
It all started in December with the conversations with the Justice magistrate Gherardo Colombo, then the intervention of the deputy prosecutor of Turin Bruno Tinti, who presented his book Togas routes, then the meeting with the constitutional Michele Ainis and more recently the spectacle of Biacchessi Daniel and the gang who have told their country's shame.
We took to heart the issue of legality, because we believe that this issue is interwoven co n the biggest challenges to social and economic - policies of our country and why we've also noticed an indifference in everyday life that sometimes leads to a contempt over rules to be confused with a serious lack of civic sense.
After magistrates, professors, actors and musicians have found a journalist to enter and the choice not by chance fell to Marco Travaglio that for years has been about the law precisely.
He represents for us a symbol of the journalism that is rooted on Enzo Biagi and Indro Montanelli and finds expression today in people like Saviano, Abbate, Rosanna Capacchione, Milena Gabanelli and many others who are committed To ensure that information every day.
a freelance journalist's job is to tell the "facts", that is the only "truth" that is what has occurred and verifiable using documents whose existence can not be denied or ignored, is not the job of the journalist, the less free the journalist, to follow the opinions, or ideology, the more like this group or that political, economic, financial, much less to speculate or make assumptions unsupported by documentation.
Gherardo Colombo in a meeting stressed the importance of media power in addition to the legislative judicial and executive, as the 4th power. And because information can be high and the rank of power must be distinct and independent of the other three powers above.
Not having a direct relationship with the institutions for our citizens, a fair and impartial information is the only way to monitor and evaluate those who have received our consent.
Unfortunately we all know that now things are not so. The events of recent days confirm this. Information is often little left free.
But this lack of distinction should not be an excuse for us to ignore or even worse not to apply the law to the contrary, the legal paths must be pursued with consistency not only by those who govern us and that we are in institutions but also every day that we, as citizens, have the duty and responsibility civic and moral duty to draw significant impression on that course.
Consistency and everyday these are the two words I want to emphasize.
This meeting is intended to be a strong stimulus I hope all of us we will grow and bring us below not only in this specific time for discussion and reflection, but even if it costs hard line in the events of our daily lives.
I wish to close by quoting the words of Don Ciotti:
" The law, respect for the rules that apply to everyone, it is the bond between the accountability and justice, including your responsibilities, between your do, including your duties, get in between your game, start from your legal responsibilities, I from my course.
E 'this welding with justice and we demand to the State, institutions, governments do their part.
But please do not ask the state and the institutions to do their part if we as citizens begin to do our part, because it is too easy! We
us these hands start getting polluted by our lifestyles, our behavior and see that this is an important part. "
