INTERVENTO DEL
PRESIDENTE DELLA REPUBBLICA
CARLO AZEGLIO CIAMPI
ALLA CERIMONIA DI CONSEGNA DEI
PREMI SAINT VINCENT DI GIORNALISMO - 39° EDIZIONE
Palazzo del Quirinale, 13 dicembre 2004
Signori Presidenti della Federazione Nazionale della Stampa Italiana e
dell'Ordine Nazionale dei Giornalisti,
Cari giornalisti,
Premiati tutti,
l'incontro odierno avviene all'indomani di un viaggio di cui siete stati
testimoni, attenti e partecipi.
La visita di Stato in Cina ci ha aiutato tutti a capire di più le dimensioni
dello sviluppo di un'area centrale per il futuro del mondo. Dopo la Cina,
nei primi mesi del 2005 visiterò l'India, l'altro grande paese asiatico, due
realtà che, insieme, contano più di due miliardi di cittadini.
Questi viaggi ci dicono quanto sia necessario un maggiore impegno, quanto
sia necessario aprire gli occhi oltre i nostri confini......
Quali conclusioni trarre per il futuro?
Serve una maggiore apertura internazionale dei nostri media.
Bisogna guardare e raccontare di più quello che accade in Europa e lontano
dall'Europa.
Meno attenzione a dinamiche, a contrasti e divisioni domestiche che spesso
nascono e svaniscono in pochi giorni, senza lasciare traccia se non nel
disorientamento che provocano all'interno e all'estero!
La globalizzazione ci chiama tutti a uno straordinario impegno di
conoscenza, di analisi, di comprensione.

Ciampi parla proprio di quello che manca ai nostri amici di sinistra, una
visione globale del mondo....
Inserite il vostro reddito complessivo lordo annuo nel riquadro rosso....e
poi cliccate su "show me the money " si visualizzerà un grafico e, piu'
sotto la vostra posizione in percentuale, quante persone meno ricche di voi
ci sono e quante persone piu' ricche di voi ci sono.
Ogni anno viene pubblicato l'elenco dei multimiliardari, ovviamente pochi
fortunati. Ma in una lista universale delle persone più ricche, che
comprenda tutti i salari del mondo, tu dove potresti collocarti? Scoprilo
(con qualche sorpresa) qui!

Unfit to lead Europe
From The Economist print edition
The Italian prime minister is not the man to speak for the European 
Union
ON JULY 1st, Italy becomes president of the European Union. It is a 
six-monthly handing over of the baton that elicits no excitement at 
all in normal circumstances, but these days the circumstances are not 
quite normal. Politically, Europe is split. Economically, it is 
sputtering. The war in Iraq has lacerated relations with its main 
ally, the United States. Ten newcomers are about to join the club and, 
if the expanded Union is not to find itself paralysed, agreement must 
be reached on a new constitution. It is plainly time for clear-
sightedness, diplomatic finesse and the exercise of the sort of moral 
authority that comes with ungrudging respect. Can Italy offer such 
leadership? Or, rather, can its prime minister, Silvio Berlusconi?
Our answer is no. Two years ago, when Mr Berlusconi was campaigning 
for the Italian prime ministership, we explained why we thought he was 
unfit for that job. We argued that, in addition to the many conflicts 
of interest between his own businesses and the affairs of state that 
would arise were he to be elected, he also had a compelling case to 
answer on a string of grave charges. Though Italy's highest criminal 
court has not definitively convicted him on any of those charges, he 
has yet to lay to rest all the concerns about his probity.

Corruption 
Italy is due to become president of the EU. See also Italy's prime 
minister.
 
One reason for that is the manner in which the cases against Mr 
Berlusconi have been concluded. Most have owed less to clear-cut 
acquittals based on the evidence than to Italy's statute of 
limitations, or to recent changes in legislation apparently designed 
to benefit the prime minister as a defendant. These changes, pushed 
through a parliament dominated by a pro-Berlusconi majority, have 
included a law on judicial co-operation with foreign jurisdictions 
(with implications for at least one case against Mr Berlusconi), a 
measure to reduce the seriousness of some types of false accounting by 
making them civil rather than criminal offences (another three cases), 
and a law to let defendants seek to have their trials moved to another 
jurisdiction if they have a “legitimate suspicion” that the court 
handling their case may be biased (which could be used to spin out a 
trial and thus to help defendants benefit from a statute of 
limitations). This last law was unsuccessfully invoked by Mr 
Berlusconi in the one criminal case that is still outstanding, which 
explains why he was in court this week denying accusations of bribing 
judges back in 1985.
The allure of immunity
That trial will continue for several months, well into the Italian 
presidency of the EU and raising the possibility, on the basis of this 
week's form, that it will become a battleground between the current 
prime minister and one of his predecessors, Romano Prodi, who is now 
president of the European Commission. But Mr Berlusconi's allies seem 
to be more worried about the possibility of a guilty verdict. Last 
week one of his closest friends and political allies, Cesare Previti, 
was sentenced to 11 years in jail for corruption. Now there is talk of 
parliament's passing a law to grant immunity from criminal prosecution 
to those with “high state roles”. Such a law might ease the 
discomfiture of Mr Berlusconi's supporters at home. It would do 
nothing for his wider reputation abroad.
Instead, parliament might usefully be turning its attention to Mr 
Berlusconi's conflicts of interest. These have been a real or 
potential embarrassment since before his first prime ministership nine 
years ago, and it seemed incredible that simple decency had not 
ensured a resolution by the 2001 election. But Mr Berlusconi seems to 
find it hard to distinguish between propriety and proprietor. Nearly 
two years after taking office for the second time, a promised law to 
tackle his conflicts of interest has yet to be enacted. In the 
meantime, though Mr Berlusconi exercises huge influence over the state 
broadcaster, RAI, his family has yet to divest itself of Italy's three 
largest private television channels.
Mr Berlusconi says he is the victim of a communist plot (The 
Economist, which he is suing for libel, is apparently a part of it), 
and the judiciary is biased against him. Some Italian magistrates are 
no doubt left-wingers; it would be odd if that were not so, in a 
country in which political partisanship has long permeated almost 
every public institution. But Italy also has right-wing magistrates, 
and in any event it is possible to hold political views and yet 
dispense impartial justice. If Mr Berlusconi is indeed the victim of a 
plot, he needs to show the world his evidence. The proper way to do 
that, for a man in his position, is to step down from his public post 
and defend himself in court. If and when he has fully cleared his 
name, Europeans may feel easier about having him speak for Europe.

 visione globale del mondo....
A volte mi chiedo se il programma e le dichiarazioni di qualcuno che non
sia Berlusconi, nella cdl, li hai mai letti.
Ah già, ma tu sei troppo occupato ad informare gli altri, per aver tempo
da perdere ad informare te stesso.

Minardi, ancora mi citi i giornali ?
Ancora non hai capito come funziona ?
Eppure in Italia abbiamo Repubblica, l'Unità, il Manifesto, il Corriere, il
Messaggero, l'espresso, Liberazione, chiari esempi di penne a pagamento o di
partito ( ossia partigiani ).
L'informazione è un'altra cosa.
