Together the two, formally adversaries, have defied their own minority factions to pass an important new election law.

Per Erri De Luca. In Italia il reato di opinione resta punibile
Lo scrittore Erri De Luca dovrà rispondere, il prossimo 28 gennaio, all'accusa di istigazione al sabotaggio a favore della protesta No Tav in Val di Susa. Siamo ancora scioccati dalla visione delle tragiche immagini che hanno raccontato l'aggressione terroristica di Parigi. Il mondo ha fatto sentire forte la sua voce in difesa della libertà. Parigi marcia in difesa della diversità di pensiero, mentre in Italia il reato di opinione resta punibile, può ancora mandare in galera chi ne viene accusato e rendere meno libera la scrittura del poeta o di un giornale.
