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.
