Più risorse e nuovi criteri di sostegno per la stampa italiana all’estero

The Government asked the Members of the PD Bucchino, Door, Farina, Fedi, Narducci and Garavini

"More resources, new policies and more effective controls to support the Italian press abroad. This is what we have asked the government signed with a question not only by me, by my colleagues Porta, Farina, Fedi, Narducci and Garavini. It 'as said the Hon. Gino Bucchino in relation to the initiative taken by members of the Democratic Party elected abroad on the situation of newspapers in Italian and enliven the communities of origin.
"The case segnalatoci COMITES from Montreal, who led the agency to express parere non favorevole alla concessione del contributo a favore di una testata locale – ha proseguito l’on. Bucchino - ci ha indotto a chiedere al Governo di ancorare il sistema dei controlli più che al criterio della tiratura, spesso non veritiera, a quello della diffusione, come richiesto per altro dal CGIE e dal Convegno che negli scorsi mesi si è tenuto a Montreal proprio sulla stampa italiana all’estero. Naturalmente, la condizione fondamentale per la creazione di un sistema di sostegno più realistico ed efficace è che vi siano le risorse necessarie per realizzarlo, reintegrando subito le già scarse dotazioni previste in Finanziaria, dimezzate di recente dal Governo, anzi aumentandole. Nessuno può onestamente negare, In fact, the function of cohesion that makes the Italian press in our communities and the commitment to link with Italy, especially at a time in which four million Italian citizens are called to elect their representatives in Parliament. Despite the new sheets of cuts contained in the maneuver in the Senate, do not overlook this opportunity to point out further in front of the majority and the government that the information for Italians abroad is a strategic tool that regard, even before our community, the same projection to the world ".
