Support the campaign to defend freedom of speech in Italy

President Berlusconi accused the newspaper La Repubblica of libelling him.
The source of the accusation is not one or more derogatory articles about him, but a list of 10 questions the journalists would like to ask the Prime Minister in order to understand better his behavior as regards what happened recently: his parties with prostitutes, his would-be offers of political jobs in exchange for 'friendly' meetings ... and similar.
Obviously enough a political character is supposed to give answers to such questions. In other democratic countries he is probably supposed to dismiss himself immediately for such odd activities.
President Berlusconi is rich and powerful and Italy is not the best country as regards transparency.
If a man in his role can prevent common citizens and the press from expressing free opinions, the freedom of speech in Italy is in danger.

I invite all of you to sign La Repubblica's petition to defend freedom of speech in Italy:
