Abstract: Last Pycon Italia I showed how my team has using Python and Data Science to fight corruption - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JiJ5a4CXRF8&t=8s
This time I want to show something that can be replicated in Italy right after we finish the presentation. 

As @participatory (World Bank Internet impact researcher) says, every country has a good response for public pressure across the internet, and this response is even better within autocratic governments because they want to keep healthy international relations. But how we can keep a record of all the drafts of legislation that are happening right now? How we can use this information and create an action for the public to show their agreement or not for every change that happens. 

With Scrapy, Python, Django, and Open source! Let me show you how has been done in Brazil and the Pipeline that makes possible to replicated here in Italy!
