Free Media in Italy

SIGN THE PETITION

European Alternatives is campaigning for the European Parliament to pass a resolution in plenary condemning all attempts of intimidation of the press and infringements on freedom of information in Italy. It is lobbying MEPs and also bringing a petition to the committee on petitions. Several MEPs have joined the campaign, and the European Parliament has accepted to discuss the matter on October 8.
The European Institutions have the authority to condemn intimidation of the press in Italy, and potentially to open legal proceedings.

We launch a public petition to:

  • Bring a resolution to the plenary session of the European Parliament condemning a breach of media freedom and pluralism in Italy;
  • If following an investigation Italy is found guilty, call on the European Council to take action according to Article 7 of the Nice Treaty, opening the possibility for sanctions and loss of voting rights for Italy;
  • Pass on the dossier to the European Court of Justice to open legal proceedings against Italy.

    • Supporters of the Campaign in the European Parliament

    The campaign is organised by European Alternatives, a trans-national organisation based in London, Paris, and Bologna.
