The weapons check of the government are unlikely to stop Vincent Bolloré climb to Mediaset. So to give a hand to the government Gentiloni and his political alliances go on the field the referee Nra. The independent authority led by Angel Cardans, in fact, has mentioned to the cousins beyond the Alps, that, on the basis of the Gasparri law, may be prohibited operations is to concentrate the control of Mediaset, and Telecom Italia. In addition, the authority – the same that has not moved a finger against the marriage of the berlusconiana Mondadori with the Rizzoli – has promised to "monitor the effects and t o verify, through a detailed economic and legal analysis, in compliance with current regulations". The law, however, does not allow the State to enter in the affairs of two listed companies. All the more so in a time when the poles of the anti-concentration are met: Mediaset is controlled by the Berlusconi family and the "climber" Vivendi, a partner of reference for Telecom, has bought a package equal to 20%, a share that is not significant in terms of the Gasparri. Difficult, therefore, if not impossible, to interpret the intervention in leg of the Nra if you do not like a "process to the intent" on a hot topic that is halfway between politics and the economy. And that was not a little embarrassment and nervousness in the majority of the Customers.
"The government may not intervene, in the sense that it can prevent a dynamic market", admitted the minister of justice, Andrea Orlando. But looking for ideas to support the importance of the Italian Mediaset, which could be saved from the attacks of the French "posts, as did the minister Calenda" and the "tools of influence". The executive looking, in short, new tools to use to protect 20 jobs and a delicate sector such as that of communication. In words, is convinced that "Mediaset is realized a national unity to defend the “italianness” of a company of strategic communications" as pointed out by the chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee, Pier Ferdinando Casini. In fact, however, the main tool to defend Mediaset from foreign assault remains essentially the standard against the concentration of radio, television and telecommunications evoked by the Nra. A "great law", as defined by the senator of Forza Italia, Maurizio Gasparri, which "was designed to reassure those who feared a dominance of Mediaset". And that today is the guarantee to prevent a downshift improper start from abroad, and in order to achieve a concentration Vivendi-Telecom-Mediaset. I laugh satisfied thinking about the idiots who have been. I grant the amnesty to the current president of the Council Gentiloni that the avversò, but now I am sure he will understand how much I was right and I wrong him."
In Paris make you smile are the Gasparri and the moral suasion of the Nra. Especially if you compare them with the reactions of the French, of a very different tenor, the conquest attempts of companies that are considered strategic to the national interest. Enel still remember when, in 2006, the number one Fulvio Conti tried to purchase in vain Suez and the executive Dominique de Villepin launched in 48 hours the fusion with the compatriot Gaz de France to block the ambitions of the Italian. And also in New york city have not forgotten how the interest of Pepsi for the yogurt Danone has been at the origin of the new "patriotism economic" by Nicolas Sarkozy. With so much of the law ad hoc to the defence to hinder the climbing foreign.
