The Noemi’s affair
The worst in the Noemi-Berlusca’s affair is not any sex with a minor: this could be a matter of law and morals, not a hazard for democracy in Italy.
The worst is the madman attacks of Berlüsca, his journalists, his political party, against the daily newspaper La Repubblica, which has just conducted an investigation, rightly or wrongly.
If the newspaper did wrongly, slandering any politician, he may resort to the judiciary, like any citizen; but none can threaten a newspaper of extra judicial retaliation to force the silence:
this is the beginning of the dictatorship.
