Fini
Monte Carlo Fini
Unfortunately, the truth of some time the spectacle of politics is simply depressing.
For weeks, no mention of the many problems of the Italians, but almost solely to the center of furious infighting.
Since July 29th I was actually expelled from the People of Liberty with ridiculous accusations, most notably that of being in league with the prosecutors to bring down Berlusconi's government is playing an obsessive political campaign to force a journalist to resign by President the House, as we all know that can not be any form of parliamentary censure.
Evidently someone bothers you talk about that right from the culture of legality, law equal for all, to ensure that it can not be no impunity, justice reform for the citizens and not to solve personal problems.
In 27 years of Parliament and 20 at the head of my party have never been touched by suspicions of wrongdoing and have never received even a simple notice of.
I think I'm one of the few if not the only one, given the many storms that have affected the judicial politics in recent years.
It 'obvious that if I was involved in a scandal it would have been nice to ask the most difficult policy to give itself a code of ethics and would be more credible to ask for my resignation.
So someone must have thought, for example, who advocated a method Boffo for me, or who advised me the columns of the Berlusconi family newspaper to fall into line if I did not want to check some files - text - even on me, "because it is for the Premier today, tomorrow it could tap to the President of the Chamber." Prophecy or threat?
Sure enough, after a while, 'Monaco has broken the deal. So
duty to the Italians, and not only those who has always given me confidence, clarity and transparency in this regard.
The facts: An
, over time, has inherited a number of buildings. Among these, in 1999, the famous Monte Carlo, which is not a palace even though he is a prince, 50-55 square meters, estimated about 230 000 €. As in dilapidated condition and almost entirely useless for the task of the Party, on 11 July 2008 was sold to the Company Printemps, by Giancarlo segnalatami Tulliani. The document was signed by the Administrative Secretary, Senator Derrick delegated to me, a true gentleman who has run flawlessly for 20 years the assets of the party, and the lords and Izel Walfenzao.
The price of the sale, € 300 000, was the subject of much of the summer hit. From my office was considered adequate because it exceeded 30 per cent of the value estimated by the Monegasque real estate company that manages the entire building.
You could negotiate a higher price? E ' possible. It 'was a light? Maybe. In any case, as the prosecutor of Rome has dutifully opened an investigation against unknown persons, following a complaint by two political opponents, and because, unlike others, does not scream against the judiciary, I look forward to the outcome of investigations.
As I have pointed out, only after the sale I knew I lived in that house, Mr. Giancarlo Tulliani. The fact has caused me
un'arrabbiatura colossal, although he told me he was paying a regular lease and had paid the costs of restructuring.
I certainly could not force him to leave, but certainly ask him anything and tones that polite. I hope it does, if it were nothing more than to return a bit 'of peace to my family.
E 'was written, but why sell it to an offshore company, which is based in Saint Lucia, a so-called tax haven? Their argument makes sense, but in Monaco the off shore are the rule rather than the exception.
And mind you, personally I have no money, no boats nor villas offshore companies registered in the name, unlike others who have used, and use these companies to better protect their family assets or business and to pay less taxes.
I wrong? With hindsight I have to blame a certain naivety. But, mind you: it is not any type of crime was committed, was not causing any harm to anyone. And it is even more clear in this matter is not involved the administration of public affairs or the taxpayer's money. There are no contracts or bribes, no corruption nor concussion.
all? As far as I know all.
Of course I also ask myself, and I have every right that I saw the ruckus was unleashed upon him, who is the real owner of the house of Monte Carlo?
E 'Giancarlo Tulliani, as many think? I do not know. I asked with insistence: he has always vehemently denied, in public and in private. There remain doubts? Of course, even to me. And if it emerges with certainty that Tulliani is the owner and that my good faith has been betrayed, I would not hesitate to leave the presidency of the Chamber.
not for personal responsibility - that there are - but because my public ethics require me.
Of course, in this ugly dark pages of history there are many, too many. A private business has become an affair of state for political and media obsession campaign to discredit my person: the campaign has made use of rumors, innuendo, slander ye say newspapers and center-fed by people and turbid disqualified.
I do not think our intelligence services, whose institutional loyalty is beyond question, like the esteem I have read and against the Secretary of the Prefect De Gennaro.
I think the plot of third-rate thriller that appear on sites Dominicans saw a letter from a Minister of Saint Lucia, spread by a journalist from Ecuador, revived in Italy by a gossip site following the improbable reports of careful readers.
I think a professional busybody, a walk in Central America for weeks (by the way, who pays the costs?) To find evidence of my alleged crime queen. I think the letter confidentially, except end worldwide, the Attorney General of Saint Lucia has written to Premier's worried because the good name of the country for the presence of company off shore is not involved in arms trafficking, drugs, currency, but a dangerous sale of a small apartment in Monaco.
But having said all this with sadness, back to serious matters. Freedom of information is the cornerstone of a democratic and open society. But for this, newspapers and television can not become instruments of a party, not used to provide news and comment, but to attack a political opponent at any cost. When you slip on this slope, the news are no longer the end but the means, the club. And when the news does not exist, you invent your own use and consumption. So, with the innuendo, in lies, with the dossier, with politics reduced to a no holds barred fight to eliminate the opponent destroys democracy. It jeopardizes the future of freedom. People who irresponsibly fed this game to stop the slaughter, let's all before it's too late. Let's stop thinking about the future of the country. Recall the comparison hard, as it should be, but civil and appropriate.
The Italians expect the legislature continues to address problems and make their lives better. I hope that everyone, from the Prime Minister, the same view. If this is not sara 'Italians will judge. And as far as I'm concerned I certainly have a clear conscience.
