| Message | Lucio Segantini, Whip and Leader of P.A.I. "Colleghi, quando abbiamo deciso di aderire alla richiesta del Presidente di entrare nel governo di unità nazionale lo abbiamo fatto con piacere ritenendo una mossa utile quella di saldare l'intero arco parlamentare per fronteggiare l'emergenza terrorismo. Abbiamo chiaramente espresso in tutte le sedi la necessità di una soluzione diplomatica e politica alla crisi, il cui obiettivo avrebbe dovuto essere un'opera internazionale di collaborazione al fine di isolare chi ci sta attaccando e riportare le condizioni di sicurezza nel nostro paese. Ci troviamo invece di fronte ad una situazione che non avremmo mai immaginato di dover vedere. I provvedimenti proposti da Verehoven sono totalmente irricevibili e vanno semplicemente nella direzione voluta da chi ci ha attaccato, trasformare una democrazia basata su libertà e garanzie civili e democratiche in uno stato in preda al terrore che si chiude a riccio e limita la libertà dei propri cittadini. Pertanto il nostro voto sarà contrario a questo e ad altri provvedimenti del genere, e nel caso in cui dovesse passare questa norma lasceremo il governo attraverso le dimissioni del nostro Minstro." "Colleagues, when we decided to accede to the request of the President to enter the national unity government we did it with pleasure feeling a useful move to pay for the entire political spectrum to meet emergency terrorism. We clearly expressed in all locations the need for a diplomatic and political solution to the crisis, the objective of which was to be an international collaborative work in order to isolate those who are attacking us and bring the security situation in our country. We are instead faced with a situation that we never imagined to have to see. The measures proposed by Verehoven are totally inadmissible and simply go in the direction intended by those who attacked us, transforming a democracy based on freedom and civil and democratic guarantees in a state terror that closes like a clam and restricts the freedom of its citizens . Therefore, we will vote against this and other such measures, and if it were to pass this rule will leave the government through the resignation of our Minister. " |

| Message | Antonia Corelli, Spokesperson of the Presidency of the Republic: "Hon. MPs, the Presidency would like invite you not falling into the paranoid suspect or conspiration. And if to the Popular Conservatives the Presidency say to not extremize the situation caused by the fear, for the Environmentalists, the Presidency invite you to reflect on the fact that these proposals will not hit the most foundamental rights of our citizens. It's true, part of the vast civil liberties accorded to our citizens will be tighten, but these are hard measures to hard times. Our policemen should be able to defend themself and the citizens, the Government have to coordinate at best the operation of the security agency and also the Justice should have the capabilities to fast reactions in case of emergency or imminent danger. The President Verhoeven as announced would never proposed such a decree in normal times, but these are not normal times. We are under the menace of an organization that yet 2 times attacked succesfully our nation and our citizens. It's time to act to take the necessary measures Mr Segantini, because unfortunately the death toll are increasing. I invite you to consider the extreme emergency situation and to think that are not in danger the rights of our citizens, but their own life." |

| Message | Francesco Giuliotti, Presidente del Consiglio dei Ministri and Leader of DI-U.o.L.: "I think these measures can be approved in this specific time because they are not so restrictive, they were in act until the liberalism of the 4100 and I think they can work, but do not think this will be forever. Terrorists won't attack us if we show them we don't want to kill them in all ways. We must only assure our citizens they are sure, not declare war against terrorists or nation where they come from, otherwise we will become the attacker, not the victim" |

| Message | Lucio Segantini, Whip and Leader of PAI "Caro Presidente, Colleghi, sappiamo bene che non sono tempi normali ma non è comunque la reazione che ci saremmo aspettati da una persona saggia come Verehoven. In ogni caso, con le rassicurazioni sul fatto che tali provvedimenti avranno vita brevissima e che si farà il possibile per una soluzione diplomatica che coinvolga la comunità internazionale, siamo pronti a votare questo decreto. Non deludete le nostre aspettative sulla brevità di queste violazioni costituzionali." "Dear President, Colleagues, we know that they are not normal times but it is still not the reaction we would expect from a wise person like Verehoven. However, with assurances that such measures will have very short life and that efforts will be made for a diplomatic solution involving the international community, we are ready to vote this decree. Do not disappoint our expectations on the brevity of these constitutional violations. " |
