Renzi's (unanswered) questions to Meloni: "Why are journalists being spied on?"

The attack on Meloni on Paragon

A not random moment to ask for explanations: a few days ago, the prosecutors of Rome and Naples ordered unrepeatable technical checks on the telephone devices of seven people, including 4 journalists, whose cell phones were allegedly “infected”.

Matteo Renzi returned to the Paragon case, the Israeli company that produces the spy software “Graphite”. He did so yesterday in the Senate, responding to Prime Minister Meloni’s considerations in view of the European Council of 26 and 27 June. A not random moment to ask for explanations: a few days ago, the prosecutors of Rome and Naples ordered unrepeatable technical checks on the telephone devices of seven people, including 4 journalists, whose cell phones were allegedly “infected”.

“If we really count more (I don’t think so), why, President, have journalists been spied on in this country for the last six months? – asked Renzi – Why, Madam President, didn’t you call the director, why didn’t you feel the need to call Francesco Cancellato and Roberto D’Agostino to apologize? I’m not saying that you spied on them, but at least you didn’t check that journalists weren’t spying on each other. In a civilized country, politics doesn’t control journalists.”
