(ANSA) - ROME, OCT 27 - Snooping on public figures by hacking
into data bases is "an unacceptable threat to democracy", Deputy
Premier and Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said at his
centre-right post Berlusconi Forza Italia (FI) party's
convention near Palermo Sunday, commenting on a huge new
Milanese snooping case involving predominantly the Italian
business world.
Tajani also said the practice of publishing police wiretaps to
shame people who had committed no crime was "disgraceful".
In other points, Tajani said the 2025 budget "can and must be
improved"; that he was talking directly to Economy Minister
Giancarlo Giorgetti and "not the economy ministry bureaucrats";
that FI would not stop in its Ius Italiae (law of Italy)
proposal to cut the time immigrant children need to qualify for
Italian citizenship from 10 to five years; and that FI was
aiming to get 20%, from 8-9% in current polls, at the next
general election in 2027. (ANSA).
