Do Acrylic Paintings Last

A Binasco wins Penati

These are the results of the runoff on June 21 to 22 of the Provincial Binasco

Filippo Penati 1,306 votes

Guido Podesta 1240 votes


Voters 2610 49.6% of claimants.

The local data is very positive. While the final outcome of the Provincial has not given us reason for a handful of votes, we note with satisfaction that Binasco exists a good basis for citizens to share the way for the construction of a reformist party stronger and stronger. A party that knows how to look ahead with hope and enthusiasm, without resorting to the fear of citizens. A Democratic party, proud of its ideas, its core values. Which is able Energy and drive altruism and solidarity as well as selfishness and others bunched up on the closure.

Vive la France! (Et aussi lives free)

back a few days of vacation (3 nights for the truth) shared with my wife, had passed between the coast of the Var and Alpes de Haute Provence. Well, one of my most pleasant memories that will stay in mind, it will be obvious, natural, and the ubiquity of the free administration of tap water in restaurants and local Provencal. We imitate this habit here in Italy?

Censorship Law - the loneliness of Paul Barnard d in front of the rubber wall of the fourth power

Dear friends pledged to give a touch of decency in our country, here is a form of censorship in the information which is never discussed. It 's the worst, because it does not come from the front system, but it takes a journalist behind. The result is that the silence and without the support of public indignation, we can not defend. This complaint is actually crippling the work of denunciation of the misdeeds, both Italian and international part of many journalists 'outside the box'.


It is, in short, the abandonment in which our publishers often cast the first occurrence of litigation arising in our investigations 'uncomfortable'. How it works and how dangerous this phenomenon for the freedom of information, I will quote illustrate my case.


This is a phenomenon with wide and serious implications for the Italian civil society, so please carefully read and understand the short story.


Report for the transmission of Milena Gabanelli, giving everything I've worked myself from the minute it is put on the air in 1994, I had among other criminal investigations against the practice of pharmaceutical comparaggio, transmitted on 11 / 10/2001 ("Little Pharma & Big Pharma"). Col comparaggio (art.170 more offense from public security), some pharmaceutical companies are trying to bribe doctors with gifts and luxury services to exotic places to obtain more prescriptions for their drugs, and this is obviously very serious effects on the community (the prof. Silvio Garattini, said: "From 30 to 50% of medicines prescribed unnecessary") and often also on our health (one of many examples is the drug Vioxx, prescribed to plunder and to which they were awarded from 35 to 55,000 deaths in the U.S. alone).


The investigation was deemed so essential for the public interest that the RAI said the 15/2/2003.

For the investigation I, RAI and Milena Gabanelli we were sued on 11/16/2004 (1) by an informant who was retained pharmaceutical damaged by the revelations made by us.


The work was thoroughly reviewed by one of the most senior lawyers before the RAI broadcast, which had given its full approval.


Ok, we're in trouble and dragged to court. For 10 years I had Milena Gabanelli assured that in these cases, I (like other editors) would have been defended by the RAI, and therefore not to worry (2). The disruptive nature of our investigation justify my concern. I trust him, and for years I do not spared the risks.

When the subpoena, RAI and Milena Gabanelli leave me to my fate. I will not be defended at all, I'll have to arrange. The Gabanelli will instead be widely defended by one of the most prestigious law firms in Rome, the RAI in defending this litigation. (3) But not only.


The defensive line of the company in Viale Mazzini and Milena Gabanelli will ask the courts to charge me and only me (sic) any wrongdoing, and therefore any compensation in the event of an adverse ruling. (4)
And this for an investigation of public interest from their (RAI-Gabanelli) ordered, approved, circulated and replicated
.* * (RAI can technically do this by virtue of a clause in the contracts that we are forced employees to sign to work, the indemnity clauses (5), which is enshrined in the uprising of the publisher from any liability that may be contested because of our work. We journalists have no choice, we must sign it under penalty of loss of employment commissionatoci, but as I said the agreement with Milena Gabanelli was morally quite different, nor is it morally giusificabile the work of the RAI in these cases).


'm baffled. But how? I work for RAI and Report for 10 years, body and soul with the firm of Gabanelli, do an investigation in this case that the RAI itself performs as exemplary, and now in times of need I turn away with absolute indifference. And not only compact working against me.
The prospect of having to pay legal fees for years, and if convicted of having to pay four or five digits to zeros in compensation, I was anxious, because they are not wealthy and risk of loss that I can not afford.


But there is no limit for the worst. On October 18, 2005 I received a letter. I open it. It 'an act of formal notice of the RAI against me. It means that RAI will fall back on me when we lost the case. The text reads: "This is so formal as formal notice of Dr. Paul Barnard for all that the spa would have to pay RAI as a result of any acceptance of mail from Dr. domada. Xxxx (who sued us, nda) against the same RAI. "(6)


In reading the recommended felt a pain dense unbelief.


Interpello Gabanelli Milena, who declares himself out of it. I urge you to intervene at the RAI, and perhaps even publicly, about that story. After a few weeks and confronted by the evidence, the Gabanelli try to reassure by saying that "the revenge that will had been made (by RAI against me, NDA) was left to die in court ... court is due to a letter, but that will be left to die in the trial in progress .. . will all end in nothing. "(7)


it will not, and it is not so today: legally speaking, the act of formal notice is still valid, and how. Not only that, Milena Gabanelli has never taken a public stand against that act, nor has it ever deviated from the line of defense of the RAI which is entirely against me, as described above, and as evidenced by recent acts of the process. ( 8) Do not


I dwell. At the time of these events I had just left Reports, but I have also left the RAI. There will never be investigated by the issuer of state signed me, and I no longer trust any publisher. I can not afford to lose the only home I own, or to see my freelance income decimated by the uncertain legal costs, because abandoned myself to those that boast of my investigations 'brave'. This is not my lack of courage and realism and a sense of responsibility especially my loved ones.


So my voice of inquiry has been silenced. And here I come to the crucial point: we are already abandoned and silenced many colleagues in this way.


Here's how the true disappearance of the facts, "what you do not know, now widespread, the one where you used to silence, instead of 'edicts Bulgarians', the courts in fact in collusion with the behavior of those whom you fidavi; conduct technically flawless, but far less morally.


This is censorship against the tenacity and courage of the few journalists still willing to tell the truth, made by anyone caught in the underworld, carried by them by means of legal threats and in fact allowed by the conduct of publishers.


Publishers must protect their journalists who are at risk for the public interest, and must undertake to remove clauses from the contracts of indemnity, I repeat, we are obliged to sign to work.


fact, today in Italy are the lawyers of the ruffians, and the legal affairs office of the media, in fact, decide what you will come to know, just playing on the fears of many journalists who risked ruining their families if they tell the truth .


This gag has and will increasingly paralyzing power on the complaint of the Italian misdeeds in the press or television, much higher than that of any political or servant of the system.


I can only ask you to spread with all the energy possible this reality, via mailing lists, websites, blogs, talking about it. But even more is my heartfelt appeal to you not to underestimate.


Finally. It 'very likely that I will sue RAI and the lady Gabanelli to my cry of alarm, and this will not be pleasant for me.


They gagged my professional freedom, but not gag never my conscience, because what I'm doing in these lines is to tell the truth for the good of all. I just hope that it serves.


Thanks for giving me the bed.
