Does the taxman risk violating citizens' rights? According to privacy guarantor, Francesco Pizzetti, Yes. Indeed, Le new rules on administrative transparency in tax audits even represent "strong breaches of the rule of law. It is proper to the non-democratic state to think that its citizens are all possible violators of the laws. In a democratic state, the citizen has the right to be respected as long as he does not violate the laws, not to be a priori suspect ”.
According to Pizzetti, what we are experiencing “is an emergency stage from which to get out as soon as possible", otherwise "the spread between Italian and Western democracy would grow".
The Guarantor, who spoke this morning during a conference attended by the President of the Senate Renato Schifani, explicitly complained about the new provisions: “Until now we could guarantee companies and legal entities a high level of protection. Today all this is no longer possible”.
The choices of the Government, which with the save-Italy and with the development decree decided to reduce the applicability of the privacy code, would therefore be "an error".
