“And what if Putin’s assassination was the only way out” of the war in Ukraine?
The Russian ambassador to Italy today filed a lawsuit against La Stampa newspaper after the publication of a major article examining the case of the physical extermination of the Russian president.
In an article published on March 22, journalist and war reporter Domenico Curico wrote: “Military intervention is ruled out, a diplomatic solution is ineffective, all that remains is to theorize the Tsar’s assassination at the hands of a close person.”
“The number one plan of Biden, NATO and the Europeans is to put someone in Moscow to assassinate Putin, freeing us from the burden,” he said.
But this war reporter, who was abducted twice, in Libya in 2011 and then in Syria in 2013, concludes: “Are we sure that the violent elimination of the tyrant would not cause even worse chaos? We can only be pessimistic “
The Russian ambassador to Italy, Sergei Razov, filed a complaint this morning with the Rome prosecutor’s office for inciting a crime.
Leaving the courthouse, the diplomat denounced an article “that violates the ethics, manners and rules of journalism.”
Asked by Agence France-Presse, the director of La Stampa denied the “baseless allegations”.
“Domenico developed this theory only to deconstruct it (…) Beyond the moral question, he writes that the cure would be worse than the disease because it would risk worsening the spirit of revenge of deep Russia,” Massimo stressed. Giannini.
He also said that he rejects “the lessons of those who deal with information in the way they know it in their own country. “It is not the Russian ambassador who will teach us journalism.”
La Stampa received the support of many political parties and many officials, including Prime Minister Mario Draghi.
“I want to express my solidarity with all the journalists at La Stampa and its director, Giannini,” Draghi told reporters in Brussels after the EU summit.
Commenting on the Russian diplomat’s complaint, he added that “he is basically the ambassador of a country where there is no freedom of the press.”
Earlier, Italian Deputy Foreign Minister Benedetto Della Ventova defended “the freedom of Italian journalists to write and practice their profession”.
“It’s the essential difference between Italy, Europe, the liberal democracies and Putin’s Russia, where citizens are arrested only for calling war a war,” he said on his Twitter account.
