ROME (ITALPRESS) – The new investigation into the dossiers reveals that the president of Italia Viva, Matteo Renzi, has been spied on for the umpteenth time. “And I hope it’s the last,” the political leader commented in an interview with Corriere della Sera. “But the feeling of bitterness and sorrow for what my family continues to suffer, in this circumstance, is accompanied by concern for the citizens,” he adds. “I have grown accustomed to this constant and criminal invasion of my privacy. But I ask myself: how can a citizen trust institutions when he understands that he can be spied on so easily?”.On why he is still in the crosshairs, despite the fact that he has not been premier for 8 years, according to Renzi “there is a subjective personal element. Regardless, even after losing consensus and power, I played a key role in the political life of the country. The most obvious example is having sent Conte home to bring Draghi to Palazzo Chigi, despite having only 2 percent of the vote. But there is also another factor: certain insiders understand that my 2-3% can still be decisive. And then I am the one who as premier tried to regulate and discipline this sector. Some people did not appreciate, to put it mildly.” Asked if he believes he has been spied on for his professional activity outside Parliament, which leads him to have relationships with large international players, he replied, “By now I live with serenity the fact that I am more appreciated abroad than in Italy. It is because of the work I did as premier that foreign institutions ask me to sit on advisory boards around the world; while Italian ones spy on me illegally. I am the only Italian who read his bank statement at the newsstand, in the newspapers, instead of in the bank. However, my serenity will not prevent me from claiming damages in all venues.” “To my eye,” Rena stresses, “there are still some who want revenge. What must be clear, however, is that we must not be victims, but rather respond with the weapons of law. When I knew I was on the side of right, I appealed everywhere and won, especially against the prosecutors. I don’t cry, I respond in court. But I repeat that my concern is for those ordinary citizens who are being spied on and do not have the same tools as me to defend themselves.” Then, he adds, “I would betray my natural garantism if I attributed responsibility to Forza Italia or others. I do not know who is the ‘instigator’ of this criminal information market. The culprit will be identified by the judges. But the political responsibility for this scandal lies with Premier Meloni and Undersecretary Mantovano.” And when asked if he knows Pazzali and former supercop Gallo, he replied, “Some of the suspects I believe had collaborated with my government. “According to Renzi, the executive, in order to restore legality and control, should “make the Cybersecurity Agency work, at the top of which capable people are needed: I say enough is enough to put friends of friends in such strategic roles. Evidently the folkloric sorties of the new Minister of Culture or unclear appointments such as those at the top of Ales are not enough. When cronyism comes to jeopardize the constitutional rights of citizens an alarm must be raised.” “It is clear,” he continues, “that there are not the technical skills needed to manage a matter as vital as our security and privacy. Frattasi is a prefect, what are we talking about?” “I wanted to do another operation,” he recalls, “After the Bataclan tragedy I had set up this scheme: ‘1 euro in security and 1 euro in culturà .’ This created a budget of 150 million, which I entrusted to the Services. To lead this structure I proposed to put technicians, including Carrai. It did not go through because there was ad personam controversy about Marco. But Carrai or not Carrai the question is simple: we need good ones, not bureaucrats.” “I,” Renzi stressed, “see Meloni’s inability to govern, because in front of this new disgrace the government cannot play the victim. But it must protect all citizens, as well as the president of the Republic, the president of the Senate and even an opposition senator like me. Instead, we have all been spied on.” – photo Agenzia Fotogramma -(ITALPRESS).
