Last Saturday happened in the Italian television once mystification of freedom of expression. The well-known freelance journalist Marco Travaglio, host of a popular talk-show, made statements on the unclear past of the new president of the Senate, Renato Schifani. Citing sources real taken from the book he wrote with Gomez: "If you know them, avoid them" and from "accomplices" by Lirio Abbate and Gomez, Travaglio explained how the new President of Italian Senate in the 1980s was a partner in a company which included Nino Mandalà, boss of the Mafia clan Villabate, and Benny d’Agostino, an entrepreneur connected to the historical leader of Cosa Nostra, Michele Greek. Today all the newspapers and political parties shout the scandal and are confident that the authorities immediately will take control measures against the transmission and journalist indicted for having made an affront to such a high office of the state. Meanwhile, the conductor of the transmission has already apologised live and the case is finished in a court. We have day by day the confirm that freedom of expression left Italy from long time now. Parties from both directions have denied the facts actually occurred by passing the journalist as a demon to silence and to be ashamed . Every day the spellbinder comedian Beppe Grillo is active, not only on his blog, against the Italian partitocratic regime, mobilizing public opinion to open his eyes against a paradoxical situation called democracy, hosting columnists from all over the world. But the real problem in Italy is television and until the parties will have the control on public channels most of Italian people will never have the real perception of things that occur. Action needed in this situation is not an opinion but is almost a duty.
