MS Society sued our Association and Lowe Pirella Fronzoni Srl

Thursday, May 3, 2012, at the Milan Court, 1st Civil Chamber, GI Dr. Patrick Gattari, held its second hearing on the application of urgency with which the former Code of Civil ART.700 AISM, Italian Multiple Sclerosis Association, criticized the our Association and the agency Lowe Pirella Fronzoni Ltd, allegedly distributed and disclose - in relation to the media campaign "45597 SMS solidarity" (held in the period 1 to 15 February 2012) and the campaign web / print / video / radio "Dreams brave "to raise funds for the Brave Dreams (suspended on 6/3/12) as well as the news published on the websites of the association - information messages (about the correlation between MS and CCSVI as well as on the safety and effectiveness of the operation Dilated venous angioplasty - PTA) that the applicant adhere to the MS Society does not consider the principle of a so-called "accurate information" and are assessed by the MS Society as potentially dangerous for people with multiple sclerosis.

The Association CCSVI in Multiple Sclerosis, sponsored by the lawyer and defense. Louis data, challenged and refuted the claims in full "accusations" of MS Society, believing not only that the Italian Multiple Sclerosis Association NPO can not arrogate to itself the right to fill the role of "censor" of membership and information of others (they are numerous associations in Italy, in addition to MS Society, the disease is affecting the MS and CCSVI), but also that the applicant's arguments are entirely unfounded both in fact and in law, as well as inadequate in relation to the type of action brought by them.

The Judge, with passion and intelligence, before entering into the merits of the legal issues raised by the parties to the dispute, has previously proposed to the two Associations and the Agency to pursue an amicable settlement between the parties in order not to impose one's reasons of either group, but to look at the best interest of patients suffering from multiple sclerosis and CCSVI.

The appeal of the Magistrate has not fallen on deaf ears as both sides have confirmed their intention to pursue the path conciliatory. The Multiple Sclerosis Association CCSVI in fact non-profit organization is animated by the desire to protect the interests and rights of people with multiple sclerosis and CCSVI, because it is really possible to have early, as he repeats the same MS Society, "A WORLD FREE FROM MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS" .

The next hearing is scheduled, again at the Court of Milan, on June 19. To this date, we have identified a point shared between us and AISM, to be communicated to the outside. Previously, however, you will face some important passages and delicate, even strangers to this process, which will be instrumental to the success of the mediation.

We will use this opportunity (in our time better able to build walls that bridges) groped for the renewal of a dialogue between us and MS Society. Aware that the walls suffocate and deprive people of hope, because they steal the air, are unable to look away, to scan the horizon and why separating like from their peers, giving the earth the same color. Who thinks to defend their space and their lives by building a wall, do not realize in reality to prepare its segregation and his death in solitude.

To build bridges and tear down walls, however, not enough to be able to do so and have the cognitive tools, need to make a free and informed choice. Going beyond any logical thinking, going beyond the existing one, inspired by good intentions. We cultivate and pursue that intention. We rely and trust in to MS Society.
