The center-left asks the government for clarity on the theft of databases

The opposition chorus is unanimous: “Meloni should report to Parliament”. The topic is that of the theft of databases which is being investigated by the Milan Prosecutor’s Office. From the Democratic Party to the 5 Star Movement, via Piu’ Europa and Avs, all the minority parties in Parliament ask the Prime Minister to clarify the contours of what is emerging in the Chambers, also because the “vulnerability” of some state security facilities starting with the Interior Ministry. A “huge case” in Milan, for Giuseppe Conte: “Let President Meloni come and report to Parliament on this serious breach of illegality. The head of the M5s says he is convinced that “the ones who have to give explanations are above all the exponents of the center-right as well as the business world”. A small historical nemesis, for Conte who recalls the attacks on the former magistrate and now parliamentarian of the M5s, De Raho, on the case of Striano’s dossiers: “We’ll see if those who smeared De Raho yesterday will apologize to him, demonstrating at least a sense of honour”. Even the Dems say that this is a case that closely concerns the center-right. “We are faced with a country’s security system that is leaking on all sides and which, as is evident, is used by the right in government for dangerous dossiers and internal feuds”, underline the presidents of the parliamentary groups of the Democratic Party Francesco Boccia and Chiara Braga in a note announcing a question to ask “how was it possible to manage to violate the database of the Sdi, law enforcement investigation system, and who the real instigators of this activity are, as well as who urgent and urgent initiatives the government intends to take to strengthen national security on databases and to adequately combat cybercrimes by promptly informing Parliament”.

An interrogation is also announced by Italia Viva, while Matteo Renzi – among those who are the subject of the dossier – instructs his lawyers to become a civil party in all proceedings linked to espionage and illegitimate publication of illegally acquired documents. “We have faith in the judiciary that is conducting the investigations”, prefaces Nicola Fratoianni of Alleanza Verdi e Sinistra: “but the Prime Minister must explain to Parliament and citizens why and how it could have happened, and what interventions she intends to activate”, adds Fratoianni. Riccardo Magi is of the same opinion, underlining the “ease” with which the Viminale’s networks were “pierced. It is necessary that, beyond and in parallel with the judicial inquiry, the government provides maximum clarity in Parliament on what happened and guarantee the protection of this information”, underlines Magi.

Together with the request to report to Parliament, the opposition focuses on the recent law on cybersecurity. “We need serious measures, not zero-cost laws like the recent one on cybersecurity”, underlines the M5s vice-president, Michele Gubitosa. “The government, after having passed a useless law on cybersecurity, absolutely devoid of resources, is helplessly witnessing an internal war between power groups played on the skin of Italian democracy”, the Dems add. And Renzi: “Meloni plays the victim every other day. But for two years our Prime Minister has been at Palazzo Chigi. I ask her: What is the National Cybersecurity Agency doing? What is the Undersecretary of the Prime Minister who is responsible for the secret services of this country doing? Instead of the usual Calimero-style whining, can we know what our Government is doing to defend the inviolable rights of the citizens of this country?”.
