In France, the Bettencourt Affair reached new heights when the offices of Le Monde, Le Point and Mediapart were broken into and computers, recordings of phone calls, and evidence stolen. Jürg Altwegg's doesn't scrimp with the sarcasm in his commentary: "A Secret Service official has actually confirmed that the government used its agents illegally against the newspapers. Anywhere else, heads would be rolling now. But not in France, where not a single politician in a position of power has uttered a word of protest against the proceedings. Nor have they made a statement about the threat to the press freedom – in the Reporters without Borders Press Freedom index, France dropped to 44th place.
It seems a very disgraceful way of life that ensemble the two countries, Italy and France. The affair Bettencourt in France and the several affairs of Mister B. in Italy are considered minor damn in our dark lives. But the sleeping feelings testimony the lack of sensibility, the lack of respect of our dignity.
It seems that every thing can be bore: the central power reins over life and drives our souls in the desired direction.
Nor the low ranking, in the list piled by Press Freedom Index, for the two country nor the faded opposition are able to whipping our feeling.
If not now when we awake our dream ?
