"I’ve asked 20 days ago at ministry of Interior to have the addresses of the 4 million italians abroad. I have given only the names saying that privacy, I could not have, nor addresses, nor email, nor phone. So I do not know that do". The complaint comes from the Giuseppe Gargani (former deputy first Dc, when it was well under-secretary, then with the centre-right), chairman of the popular Committee for the No. It is he who raises the question: "If the president of the Council has those addresses, I have them too." But obviously for the privacy (and its "exemptions") there are two w eights and two measures. "Dear Italian dear Italian. No one better than you knows how important it is that our country is respected out from the national borders". Thus begins the letter written by Matteo Renzi to convince the 4 million italians abroad to vote Yes. A missive in the best style of the premier, accompanied by his photo with the Great of the world, and announced with great fanfare by Maria Elena Woods, Thursday evening, during a meeting with the european Committees: "the president of The Council has sent a letter to the italians abroad in the referendum on 4 December". A piece of information thrown there, which, however, is starting the controversy. And questions.
Says Gaetano Quagliariello: "No one discusses the right of the Pd to take advantage of the prerogatives that the law attributes to the access to the data, but the least we can do is to ask to know who the request was made of the personal data of Italian citizens residents abroad; whether other applicants may be provided with the same speed; with which mode and with which the rate the letters have been delivered". Again, with the ordinary rates "an expedition of this kind would cost as much as the Cnel". Questions which are partial responses on the part of the men of the ” Yes ” and a clear, to the evening, Gargani. Can a head of government to write to 4 million italians, who perhaps have no desire to receive his mail? "It is an initiative of the Pd", explains in an official manner, the Committee Just a ‘ Yes ‘ . And the data wer e taken from the Aire (Registry of Italians abroad), told in an informal way from the same Committee.
The answer, however, is yes, it can: the whole is authorised by a provision of the Privacy guarantor, Antonello Soro, former mp, Pd, in the matter of "the treatment of data at the political parties and the exemption from theinformation for the purposes of electoral propaganda" (published in march 2014). According to this regulation, "political parties, political movements, committees, promoters and supporters, as well as individual candidates" can "lawfully" treat "personal data for the purposes of electioneering" and "political communication". Between the lists "public" from which you can derive the data also those of the voters abroad. And so all of the Pd can defend the operation. At least up to Gargani. The controversy was raging, anyway. Alfiero Grandi and Domenico Gallo of the Committee of the No (of professors) denounce � ��the confusion between political roles (secretary of the Pd and tutelary deity of the Committee for the ‘ Yes ‘ ) and institutional (President of Council)". A overlay of roles of which the premier is aware, as the letter, the signature only "Matteo Renzi". Of course, maybe his first and last name has helped him in not have the same denial in obtaining the addresses of voters abroad received by Gargani from the interior ministry:. This is also to speak Committees and the opposition if the president Sergio Mattarella and Foreign minister Paolo Gentiloni the accord, the meeting on the issue of the vote abroad officially asked yesterday. In the meantime, however, Renzi has earned a advantage time in selling the choice of 4 December outside the borders.
