RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS
When you resort to an initiative such as abstention from hearing activities it is always useful to try to understand the reasons. The question at the center of the reflection concerns the violation of a principle, guaranteed by the legal system and inserted within the code of criminal procedure, which can more simply be summarized in the right of the accused to be judged by the judge who collected the evidence in the process. Precisely from that judge who directed the debate between the parties. From what the witnesses examined, noting any uncertainties and embarrassments or on the contrary, testing their serenity and lucidity during the deposition. That patrimony of sensorial immediacy that only listening and direct vision allow to give the formation of free conviction … by Fabio Viglione

Poesì
The delirium of war (of wars) destroys reason. Anamorphosis prevails, the deformation of the word, of the figures, no longer recognizable.

EDITORIALS AND COMMENTS
In line with the formidable work of concealment and censorship on the referendums before 12 June, silence fell immediately on their results and very few reflections on the referendum post-vote.
