“Opinion on prison for journalists? I cannot expose myself for the government, but mine will certainly be against it.” This is how Undersecretary of Justice Andrea responds Delmastro delle Vidove to the questions of ilfattoquotidiano.it on the amendments proposed by Enrico Costa of Azione and Tommaso Calderone of Forza Italia in the cybersecurity bill. The same question is asked of the Minister for Relations with Parliament, Luca Syrianialso at the Fratelli d’Italia event in Pescara: “We haven’t decided yet, there is an ongoing study with Palazzo Chigi”. The Undersecretary to the Presidency of the Council, Alfredo Mantovano, does not close the possibility of prison for reporters. “When the time comes to express our opinion, we will express it in the most calm and balanced way possible. I’m interested in it being approved in the shortest time possibleand the ‘cyber’ bill because Italy needs to equip itself with the most effective tools to repel the attacks to which it is constantly subjected in institutions and private individuals. This is the goal, everything else – she concludes – we will see, but that’s not the goal at the moment.” Is it relevant to the nature of the measure? “I answered you” Mantovano takes leave.
