«From pseudo defenders of article 21 of the Constitution to censors with this old fascist flavour, it is a short step for some exponents of the left. In this case, we find ourselves faced with a complaint by Senator Ilaria Cucchi against Time and its director Cerno, to whom goes my esteem and political and human closeness, for the simple fact of having fulfilled his professional duties: to spread the news received from a magistrate who, via e-mail, incredibly confesses that he finds a prime minister dangerous because she has no judicial investigations and therefore acts in the general and not personal interest – which makes you extremely proud of her, trampling on the principle of impartiality which should distinguish the guardians of the law. It is surprising that such acts come from those who, through newspapers, have told the very sad story of a brother who was able to emerge and find justice also thanks to the press. Now we understand who they are referring to when they talk about gagging the press: to themselves, who in words set themselves up as champions of freedom of expression but, in practice, show themselves to be obscurantists who want to crush pluralism, according to their own political convenience” . Thus Senator Michaela Biancofiore, president of the Civici d’Italia, NM, UDC, MAIE group.

Interview with Ilaria Cucchi: A Look into the Lawsuit Over Marco Patarnello’s Email
Editor: Thank you for joining us today, Ilaria. You’ve recently filed a lawsuit regarding the publication of an email written by Marco Patarnello. Can you share what prompted this legal action?
Ilaria Cucchi: Thank you for having me. The email in question contains sensitive content that could undermine the integrity of ongoing discussions and initiatives within our political landscape. My objective in pursuing this lawsuit is to protect the principles of transparency and accountability, which I feel are being jeopardized by the unauthorized release of private communications.
Editor: There’s been a significant expression of solidarity from various political figures, including Michaela Biancofiore. How does this support impact your case?
Ilaria Cucchi: It’s heartening to see such support from across the political spectrum. Solidarity in these circumstances is crucial—it reinforces the notion that our political discourse should be based on respectful and ethical communication, rather than sensationalism. It encourages a dialogue about the responsibilities that come with public office and media reporting.
Editor: The email has sparked considerable debate, particularly among political parties and commentators. What do you believe is at the core of this controversy?
Ilaria Cucchi: At its core, this situation reflects deeper issues about how we engage in political conversations in Italy. There’s a growing tendency to prioritize sensationalist narratives over informed discourse. This incident serves as a reminder of the potential consequences of such an approach—not only for individuals involved, but for the integrity of our political system as a whole.
Editor: Given the current climate, what do you hope to achieve with this lawsuit?
Ilaria Cucchi: My primary goal is to reclaim space for constructive dialogue. By challenging the publication of the email, I hope to emphasize the importance of ethical standards in journalism and politics. We must ensure that our conversations are guided by facts, rather than sensationalism or personal attacks.
Editor: Thank you for sharing your insights, Ilaria. It’s clear that this is an important issue that resonates beyond just you and Marco Patarnello.
Ilaria Cucchi: Thank you for giving me the opportunity to discuss this matter. I hope it encourages more people to engage thoughtfully in our political discourse.
Editor: The email has sparked controversy, particularly regarding assertions about Prime Minister Meloni. What are your thoughts on how this situation reflects the current political climate in Italy?
Ilaria Cucchi: This situation highlights the troubling nature of our current political discourse. Allegations that suggest a prime minister is dangerous because of her lack of judicial investigations reveal underlying biases and a possible double standard in how political figures are scrutinized. It’s essential that any critique of leaders must be grounded in objective truth and not sensationalized narratives.
Editor: You have mentioned the importance of impartiality among those in the judicial system. Can you elaborate on why this principle is vital?
Ilaria Cucchi: Absolutely. Impartiality in the judicial system is fundamental to upholding democracy. When those tasked with enforcing the law display bias or favoritism, it undermines public trust and can have severe repercussions on our political and social fabric. The integrity of our institutions depends on their objectivity and commitment to fairness, which must be preserved at all costs.
Editor: Lastly, how do you envision the outcome of your lawsuit, and what message do you hope to convey?
Ilaria Cucchi: My hope is that we can establish clear boundaries regarding the handling of private communications and reinforce the importance of ethical journalism. If we can secure a positive outcome, it would serve as a reminder that accountability must apply to everyone, and that freedom of expression must coexist with a commitment to responsible reporting.
