The fourth barrister hired by Contini, Ducho, stood up: "Now for the fifth content statement, that is, the defendant's accusation that the plaintiff and the Youth Daily are reporting on the Chinese language to disguise wrongdoing, whitewash the peace, try their best to raise the flag for the government, and actually deceive the people, this is a complete slander against the plaintiff, in fact, the Youth Daily has been published for less than three months now, but in these three months a lot of useful work has been carried out, in addition to political articles, the criticism and supervision of the government can be described as sparing no effort, the new government has a total of 16 cabinet departments, The plaintiff directly criticized 10 departments, and 5 did not name but criticized the deeds of their relevant supervisors, but did not criticize the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, because the diplomatic work has been positive for more than two months, and there is nothing special to criticize. ”

As soon as he said this, even Matteotti was blindsided, and he sneered: "Could it be that we are not reading the same "Youth Daily"? ”

"It's not the same newspaper, I can just state the evidence." Du Qiao said unhurriedly, "This is all supported by publicly issued newspapers, and it cannot be faked." ”

The first cabinet department to be criticized by the Youth Daily was the Ministry of Transport, which was published on January 5 and read as follows...... Since the Ministry of Communications from November by the Minister of Communications personally in charge of the train delay rate, has achieved certain results, but from our desired goal is still far from the goal, statistics, the train on the whole point of the rectification of the technical error, telephone error two categories, put forward the goal is to greatly compress the technical error, eliminate the telephone error, but as of January, the average time of technical error from 37 minutes to 21 minutes, telephone error from 49 minutes to 6 minutes, did not reach the expected goal, Youth Daily First, the technical error should be shortened to less than 18 minutes, and the telephone delay should be completely eliminated, and if anyone calls again to request the postponement of the departure, the "Youth Daily" will publish the caller's name and reason...... His Excellency the Minister of Transport fully accepts this and thanks the newspaper for its supervision. ”

The reporters paused for a moment, and then reacted: Is this criticism? It's public praise or not...... But barely enough is criticism – criticism is not progressing fast enough.

Matteotti's face twitched, he finally knew that he had been fooled, for him this report was a naked praise of merit, but the other party was inclined to say that it was criticism, how could this "criticism" not be accepted by the government? If you don't accept it, you'll have a ghost.

The second department to be criticized by Youth Daily is the Ministry of the Interior, which reads as follows: ...... Since the Inspector General of the Rome Police, His Excellency Glandini, took charge of the response time of the police, it has achieved certain results, but it is still far from the international level. According to statistics, the average response time of the Roman police in the past was 49 minutes, and after strict rectification, it was increased to 41 minutes, but there is still a certain gap between the 29 minutes in Berlin, 32 minutes in London, 38 minutes in Paris and other other capitals. Completely lagging behind the international advanced level, the "Youth Daily" expressed its understanding of this, and contacted the United Motorcycle Company to prepare to donate 20 police motorcycles in March to strengthen the security patrol in Rome......"

Is this a criticism? Even the judge muttered, let's forget it.

"Youth Daily" did not name the criticism of the department is the Ministry of Aviation, pointing out that since it is clear that the construction of an independent air force is the trend of the times, the development of civil aviation is in the ascendant, the Ministry of Aviation should take the initiative to attack, do something, Mr. Du Hei sincerely accepted the criticism, first went to Germany for inspection, and then in January formally submitted the "Independent Air Force Grouping Proposal", "Civil Aviation Development Plan" and other contents, which are currently under consideration, and it is reported that the response is good, and all parties enthusiastically support it."

"The fourth department of the Youth Daily to criticize by name is the War Department, pointing out that since it is necessary to do a good job in the resettlement of retired soldiers, it is necessary to break the routine and achieve innovation, and cannot be limited to rules and regulations and cannot extricate itself......

"Youth Daily criticized the Ministry of Public Affairs by name, saying that they are too lax in the management of public servants, late arrivals and early departures, and arbitrary absences are frequent, while Prime Minister Mussolini works from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m., and sometimes does not even take a break on holidays. His Excellency the Prime Minister attached great importance to this criticism, and personally instructed the Ministry of Public Affairs to cooperate with the public opinion circles to conduct overt and covert investigations, and finally issued an internal warning to 79 people, and fired or dismissed 18 people......" (in fact, this is targeted law enforcement, and the dismissals are all members of the Socialist Party and the Liberal Party)

The newspaper also tactfully criticized Mr. Mussolini for focusing on the management of administrative affairs, the reading of official documents, and the lack of contact with the people, suggesting that he take one day a month to listen to the voices of the masses, and that it would be better if he could show his face every day...... The prime minister accepted the criticism with great convincingness, and now has set up the Prime Minister's Office for Letters and Visits, and has hired three secretaries to handle letters on his behalf and keep abreast of the people's situation...... Occasionally, he would make an appearance on the balcony of the Prime Minister's Office and greet the crowd ......" (Mussolini personally handled and replied to all letters written by young women with photographs, and the so-called greeting was to listen to the cheers and hoorays of the pre-arranged fascist partymen!). ）”

……

"It can be seen that my client, the Youth Daily, has spared no effort in criticizing and supervising the government, and the depth of criticism, supervision, and follow-up is almost unique among similar newspapers, which reflects the down-to-earth and rigorous work style of the plaintiff and the newspaper in charge, and each report is based on facts, supported by data, and based on field investigations, reflecting the conscience of intellectuals and young students, and is not at all singing praises of virtue and whitewashing the peace as the defendant said. It is not comparable to the defendant and his newspaper attacking the government with empty words such as 'corruption, incompetence, and inefficiency'. The words that Mr. Matteotti usually writes are not called criticism, they are called invective and wanton splashing dirty water, and the "Youth Daily" started from scratch and has now exceeded 10,000 copies in circulation, squeezing into the top 15 newspapers in the country, which fully proves the seriousness and authenticity of the report, and as far as I know, the circulation of "The Socialist" exceeded 100,000 copies at its peak, and so far it has less than 60,000 copies. ”

In fact, the decline in the circulation of "The Socialist" has a lot to do with the control of the Mussolini government, but Duggio secretly changes the concept here, using the increase in the circulation of "Youth Daily" and the decline in the circulation of "The Socialist" to contrast the authenticity and reliability of the reports of both sides.

In fact, the coverage of Mr. Matteotti is also a form of criticism in which the government needs to be supervised, and the parliamentarians, who represent the will of the people, are naturally subject to supervision. Mr. Matteotti's lack of style and inefficiency in the performance of his public functions has been manifested in these overt and covert visits, and we are also shocked by the lack of transparency about the reimbursement of expenses. What is it used for, and who is it used for? When and when is it used? ”

Du Qiao smiled: "It is also a great pity that all the government departments and ministers in charge of our criticism have accepted the criticism humbly and sincerely, and said that they will continue to improve, but Mr. Matteotti jumped up like a cat that was stepped on his tail after seeing the criticism article, with teeth and claws, and he was violent, this is not a sincere style of criticism at all, if you think we are not right, for example, you go in and out of Fengyue place, you actually do not go in and out; For example, if you don't commute to work on time, you are actually the first to arrive and the last to leave every day; For example, if you falsely declare an invoice, you have never been reimbursed at all...... You can argue with that, but we don't see that between the lines at all, we only see the client you slander, abuse, and slander me...... This hooliganism makes us angry, but we will not fight back with the same hooliganism, so we have decided to appeal to the most rigorous and impartial Italian judges of the new era and ask them to judge impartially! ”

Now everyone in the audience understands why a barrister is called a barrister, there must be two brushes......
