From the correspondent in Strasbourg<\/em> – The European Parliament has unanimously approved the request of the Socialists and Democrats (S&D) group to add to the agenda of the current plenary session in Strasbourg a debate on the “criminal intimidation” against investigative journalists in Europe<\/strong> and in particular the attack on Sigfrido Ranucci. The debate will take place tomorrow afternoon (21 October). <\/span><\/p>\n

In the aftermath of the 16 October<\/a> ambush, in which an explosive device blew up Ranucci and his daughter’s car in front of the journalist’s home near Pomezia, the delegations of the Democratic Party and the 5 Star Movement<\/strong> in Brussels had immediately requested an urgent debate in the EU Parliament. The request was submitted by the corresponding groups, S&D and The Left. <\/span><\/p>\n

At the opening of the session, dem MEP Sandro Ruotolo<\/strong> presented the request, denouncing an “increasingly heavy” climate in Italy, where “by now 29 journalists are forced to live under police protection<\/strong>, because they are threatened with death by organised crime.” <\/span><\/p>\n

The addition of the debate was approved unanimously: 421 votes in favour, 5 abstentions and none against<\/strong>. A rare occurrence in the Strasbourg hemicycle, so much so that President Roberta Metsola congratulated the chamber. <\/span><\/p>\n

Tomorrow afternoon, at the same time as the debate, a seminar will be held in the European Parliament to mark the awarding of the annual prize<\/a> for investigative journalism dedicated to Daphne Caruana Galizia, the Maltese reporter killed in 2017 in a bomb attack. Roberto Saviano and Ranucci will also be remotely connected to the event.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
