"In Palermo with my son after 15 years people avoided me, afraid of the mafia"




journey with Manu, who was four months old when his father was killed. "It could change everything, but the state has stopped '

Rosaria Schifani, the widow of an officer of the stock of Falcon: the judges? They fight like then

from our correspondent PALERMO - Fifteen years after the Capaci massacre, returned to Palermo Rosa. With its Manu who had just four months when he remained an orphan. The young widow, still remembered for that keen sore turned to the Mafia, "I forgive you, but kneel down," he scrutinized for five days, the city where her husband Vito Schifani torn died with two other colleagues to protect Giovanni Falcone. Here she is with Manu in the center, on vacation as a tourist, and between Politeama Teatro Massimo where no one recognizes it. A walk in the village where was born to Virgin Mary with the boy she has grown in Tuscany. And Manu has discovered only now with concern the narrow streets, low houses among waterfront cemetery and roll, adorned the corners, but also the disaster of the nearby Arenella, sweeping corners, the illegal buildings. With the eyes of a boy surprised, bewildered before the city found, "Mom why Palermo is so beautiful and so ugly?". Rosaria has rebuilt his life away from the Virgin Mary and by the Auditor, the neighborhood parents. But he wanted to accompany Manu in the city where he had taken away. He traveled along the roads of the Child, reviewed relatives, acquaintances cross. A journey, an ordeal. The first post is the family home, two olive trees, the sea front. A woman approaches, uncertain. "You're the daughter of Lina?". "I took affection. But it took just a waste, "says Rosaria on these troubled streets close to the cemetery. The houses of the living behind the graves. The houses on the coast are dominated by crosses and noble that slide on a slope. Death and life mix. "Men do not approach. Twisted like the lanes. They are afraid, meeting, stopping and talking, giving the impression of thinking like me. So many pretend not to see me best not to deal with it. It looks through me as if I were transparent. But it should be the other way? Should be me not wanting to deal with them. " Manu observes and asks, "They are ashamed of you, Mom?". Did you find the holiday home on the Internet, a few steps from Villa Igiea. "Beautiful," rejoices from the balcony of the sea and lace Tonnara Florio. But darkens immediately, while two boys splashing in motorcycle without helmets, "The beach, a dirt expanse. The sea washes dust and dirt. Where is the City? They did have the elections and a mayor. But there is a garbage man? A traffic policeman who is concerned with the standards to be met? The facade of Palermo finally appears viable in the city center. Something was done, it shows. But a mayor has to work on the beautiful, must deal with the bad. Excuse me, but I do not think Palermo is went on. " Rosaria would return to live here? "Manco died. In Palermo, I smell the mafia, the arrogance of the neighborhood, reduced to the political deal, illegal parking and traders wondering when I ask for your receipt. I would be there alone. To challenge those damned well that affect the breathing of our relatives. Prevails here twice. The coast looks beautiful and ugly buildings that encircle. The houses seem bad, but inside they are beautiful. To hide, to confuse, to avoid envy. Prevailing contrast. I look and it saddens me. Here does not change anything. " And 'the bitter feeling that accompanies it through the city, pointing to the Tree Manù Falcone, stalled in traffic around the Palace of Justice. From a distance he thought he could change something? "It could change everything. But the state has stopped. Prosecutors have begun to quarrel among themselves. Divided between friends and friends of Grasso Caselli. Again? Basta. As at the time of Falcone. Without ever recognizing the merits of those who work really. I'm glad to see so many studies that have done well traitors "within the investigation. But not enough. The state has stopped too many times. Because the state is afraid to look inside. " It 'an indictment of the investigation which evokes a season, "Slaughter Group disbanded when they were still working on the murder of secret Capaci and via D'Amelio. And 'as if the State wanted to stop that work. How many books have come out on those and other investigations. Judges become writers. But do not tell us all the way in which mysteries are bogged down. Starting from the safe empty Riina, the databank Falcone with memory erased, disappear from the bag made by machine Wallet with agenda inside. " Advice? "For Provenzano and company do not speak of chicory, flaws and quirks. Do not create the myth and not amplified. Just murderers we face. " Provenzano who is? "A gentleman who, with his mysticism, also mocks God." If you could talk to him? "A question I have. Why were they made the slaughter? This I know, seeing that justice comes in and stops only to you boss. But the Mafia is Mafia when associated with something that moves in other environments. No, maybe a different tone: if he can do this act of charity, Mr. Provenzano, please speak. So perhaps it is Utopia. I understand that might be afraid of being poisoned in prison, as happened before in Italy, but this people do charity without truth. Mr. Provenzano is free and die at least without the weight. We shall expire on the rent, Bernardo Provenzano. Are you passing through. Delivered from evil, deliver us with the truth. " The major worry? "The mystery of the murders in Palermo. Why not to Rome, where Falcone was an easy target? What was meant to signal Palermo? We must rediscover the complicity high, given everything that happened while you were electing the President of the Republic. " Who could convince Provenzano to speak? "His children. I noticed a difference with that of Riina. Perhaps marked by a diversity role of women. "My kids do not have to commit a crime", have said the mother. As the wife of Riina, Bagarella sister, I do not think he did the same. That's why today I am more interested in the Provenzano family. I would talk to his children: help your father to confess. You, son of Provost to teach in school, teach your dad to change. " Rosaria insists then on repentance and forgiveness? You can still repeat that "forgiveness, but kneel down"? "Meanwhile, those who wants to ask. And act. Kneeling is to speak, tell, really regret not only making a pact with the state. Because with those pacts have emerged only half-truths. It is not enough. All you need is the truth, even if raw. Do not stunt the hidden truth concealing the contents of a safe, clearing and getting rid of agendas. "Pessimism prevails? "I remember meeting with the widow of Pio La Torre, wary. He explained that we were not victims of "state secrets" but of "State crime". " What image of this takes away Manù Sicily? "I told him that, in addition to the boss with the cap, too many in this country live with the mafia becoming blind. I do not, I can not. Manu, who grew up next to an extraordinary man he calls Dad. A man of the State, as it was my Vito. The story here because even a neighbor scolded me, chilling: "Did you brought with the cop? Next time alone." Reflection of a mentality that does not care about civil society, petrified, immutable, despite every tragedy, every anniversary. " And Rosaria again.

How To Tell Is Someone Is Wearing A Diaper

Veltroni: "Neither of right or left. The law is a law

Rome mayor writes a Republic response to the reader, so you're the weak. "Invoking the rule of law is not politacamente incorrect." Multiplying the integration tools for who respects the law of Walter Veltroni

Dear Editor, Republic hosted yesterday on its front page a letter from a leftist, educated, attentive to what is happening in his community, who teaches his daughters the values \u200b\u200bof tolerance and of nonviolence, and that both are fed up of crimes committed by immigrants (and of course not only by them) and calls for security, legal claims, wants those who make mistakes pay. Some see in this a contradiction? A get out of the rails of the "politically correct"? If so I think that someone would be out of the way or, better still would be to patterns of our time, and real life people, you are responsible to overcome. Legality is not the right or left. The law does not, and should have a political color. It 's a fundamental right of citizens, and whoever is in government of a community to uphold and knows that his task, his duty. Especially today, because every person who has eyes to see and ears to hear it actually receives in our society, the embers of insecurity and distrust of foreigners are likely to turn into a fire of intolerance and hatred then, closing and then exclusion. How much more absurd and dangerous for the coexistence of all. And 'the paradox of a global time: re-emerging barriers and conflicts of identity, religious or ethnic origin. It 's the risk that we must avoid. What to do, then. Be avoided, meanwhile, the easy polemics, attempts to ride the problems for the purposes of section used to have some small advantage after having fed the fears of citizens. Once this is done, I think there is a dual attitude to take, and I would like to bring the idea to give a concrete example. A few months ago I met the guys at a high school in Rome, who told of acts of hooliganism, theft of a motor, a climate of increasingly heavy. All of the work of some of the nearby Roma camp in via Lombroso. In those kids I did not find any form of racism, in their words, there was nothing ruling: there was the desire of being guaranteed the right to live peacefully in their neighborhood, there was an application of law to which we responded in practice. With the commissioner responsible have held several meetings in the field, unfortunately without success. Families responsible for those acts were then removed, while all others remained to live in what is one of many villages where equipped in recent years we have moved the Roma who had previously lived in squatter settlements and uncontrolled.
is the dual approach: better living conditions, education and job placement, in a word solidarity for those who respect the law and the rules of civil coexistence. Absolute firmness and severity of these laws for those who do not care and these breaking the rules. Doing so is essential. Think of what they are and what they are getting more and more quickly our society. We think of Italy, where foreigners have gone from one million six hundred thousand in 2000 to three million six hundred thousand today. There are two million more people in a few years. Have different histories and cultures are different ways to think and relate to others. Or will it all live with, or strengthen respect for differences is a common heritage of shared rules, or the problems will multiply. We, as Italians, we know what it means to emigrate, what it means to leave their land, their homes, looking for hope of a better life for themselves and for their children. Italy was a poor country, which after the war has risen due to the aid of the international community. Can not be able to understand that now falls to us to do the same, not only because it is morally right, but because the first radical response on immigration and security is to be able to ensure that poor countries should not be longer escape? Simultaneously, with the same radicalism should govern the flows into and multiply the means of integration. And with the same radicalism must affirm the principle that those who choose to live in Italy, there are only rights: there are the duties, there are laws to be respected. Integration and legality must always live with.

Letter to Veltroni

Help, I've left but I am becoming racist
49 years I have been living in Rome, working at the Quirinale, where I studied, I read good books (I think and hope), I am interested in politics, I read two newspapers every day, I watch on TV and Ballarò Matrix and vote on the left, were candidates for the municipal list to Rome Veltroni. I try to teach my daughters the values \u200b\u200bof tolerance and nonviolence, the importance of education, good reading and study, work ethic and sacrifice to achieve something lasting and true in life. Lotto every day, at their side, against the culture of nothingness and appearance, against tronista and Veline and Big Brothers. But that's another story, and then right back to me and to my request for help. In 49 years I've become a huge racist and I can not stand it. There was a spring occurrence, an act of violence towards me or my family or friends, but a continuous drip of facts read, view of violence, of complacency by impunity, trampled morality, identity violated and raped , in fact, told by strangers on a tram or metro. For an old lady who coughed (strong and repeatedly) on the train a young slave boy sitting in front of her said: "If you're sick you get old!". To my representations and the girl that his companion had replied simply: "You who c.. or want, without the c.. are you", just like you, Roman. Another ride on the tram, crowded. Rooms a little old lady, approaching a black girl, the nearest entrance, and sitting between two other elderly people and gently ask her the place: the first is not responding and then, with the insistence of the elderly mumbles a "vaffanc .. old whore. " The old man sitting gets up to give the place: I rise to say that it is not right, she is young and may very well get a little old. That gets up, looks at me, said something and then I spit the gum that muttered: I got it by the collar and I have thrown out the tram stop. All clapping but I felt ashamed as a thief for my reaction and I got off at the next stop. Working at the Quirinale
occasionally going to buy a sandwich in Piazza Fontana di Trevi: I foiled by the pickpocketing gypsies 2. For a tourist in Palermo I did recover all the booty that had been stolen and as soon as I become aware of their presence in the pack of hunting, I feel that the police stationed at the fountain: no one moves it must be close to the bikes or cars. And then I realize that the fountain is no man's land, among dozens of vendors pistol making soap bubbles and those noisy contraptions that are launched into the air and makes the verse bands of crickets while raging. In front the rapes that occur too frequently, in several Italian cities, I wonder: what if I raped a young Arab in Mecca or Casablanca, if I were taken by the local police to encounter what would go? And if in Bucharest, on the subway, I stabbed a young Romanian received a boost, I would do the local authorities? Why must I always be good and comfortable with the nomads, dangerous and very sorry ah button when they steal, get drunk, my house and violate my privacy when rummage in the bins and throw everything out, when begging with malice and violence, when They beat the immigrants who do not want prostitution, when the children banging on the streets or send their children to school with head lice? Because if I call for immediate expulsion of illegal and violent thieves, prostitutes and pimps and prostitutes to come immediately matched with Eichmann? Why the political party that represents me, I wonder if the certainty of punishment, detention, he answers with Mastella who appoints the Director General of the Ministry of Justice that Nuvoli Gianpaolo that, centuries ago now, the days of "Clean Hands", said Borrelli "if the prosecutor had led to the gallows would be in the front row to witness the execution? Because when Fini, then competitor Rutelli, mayor of Rome, proposed to move the camps outside the GRA of Rome, all of us left (including me and then in the front row) cried "all the fascists out of the ring" and now, more than fifteen years later, the prevailing idea of \u200b\u200bmy mayor and the prefect to make haste in dismissing this case, substantially all of the policy followed so far ' integration and acceptance of solidarity? Why do I have to endure the agony of seeing human beings in the streets, day and night, young enslaved prostitutes without someone, right and first left now, is thought to prohibit street prostitution by simply changing the law ? But if the citizens of the affected areas take to the streets and demand, and with the patrols with torches, a minimum of decency and even anti-slavery here just beautiful souls cry out to fascism and the return of the brown shirts. Is growing every day more intolerance, hatred is mounting for the alien and no one does anything to stop these dangerous embers. Hundreds of people like me who have always fought to defend with all who enter this country who have fought like lions against intolerance and xenophobic violence, queer and small, now, to schizophrenia. I want to turn off those embers before they turn into a fire of resentment and violence, I do not want to leave more the monopoly of legality to the right and then I do not understand, why give the local vote for immigrants after five years of stay in our country, when In no great country Western Europe this happens. I am well aware, like all Italians, in Italy, every day, more than a thousand crimes, even hateful, they are made by my countrymen, no one really believes that safety is jeopardized only by immigrants, and I do not want to oppose it with all my strength from the aliens. But I want to legality, I want the culture of legality in this blessed country, I want those who make mistakes pay. Poor things

Ex Small Mens Underwear

SARKOQUI, SARKOLA '- What is a girotondino?

Marco Travaglio
Now that Sarkozy has won France, Italy all jump on the bandwagon. Even those who were on the up all'altroieri tallow Take bad luck. In the Italian right, Bellachioma in the head, have become all the more sarkoziani of Sark, forgetting that Sark has never allied with fascists or with the Nazis, while our yes, he has defended civil unions, while ours are even contrary to say, he has defended the Vatican's gay attacks, while our burned them, he announced the withdrawal from Afghanistan, while we dare not even the next time, he also sang them to Bush on climate while our not even know what it is. But where our provincialotti give their best is on the theme of law and duties. As written by Michael Serra, "we have more right antilegalitaria of the world "that emphasizes the legalistic Sarkozy: one, to hear him speak, if he happened to throw a Fairhair, a prior or Dell'Utri, call the Gendarmerie. Here the left and right are held for a year in the House a convict banned from public offices, with the addition of 24 more prisoners and sixty investigated. Even Mastella is a fervent admirer of Sark. It seems that Mastella is the same, in his capacity as Minister of Justice, has said that Brazil can safely extradite the murderer Cesare Battisti because so much from us, and also review the sentences to life imprisonment is negotiable. Then, when the relatives of the victims have protested them reassured by explaining that he had to say so to have it delivered. For some days it just helps the Gianpaolo Cloud, he wanted hanged from a lamppost and Borrelli gave to Assassin Caselli, then was sentenced for defamation over 400 thousand pounds, but never paid those either. Has run just knew he was walking, Mastella has promoted Director General of the Ministry of Justice.
Then, of course, everyone on stage for Sarkozy to preach law and order. The other night was enough to report the three-minute interview in a French court to understand that we are talking about: "For us the prescription takes 3 years after a misdemeanor, 10 years after a serious crime, ever after a murder or a killing, but only if they remain unpunished. If someone is indicted, the prescription is interrupted until the end of the process. So no one's interest to pull up and down the guilty should negotiate. " Law would take a three-line to do it here too, so you could even remove the ex-Cirielli and meet at least one of the 13,947 election promises of the Union. But it looks ugly, and nobody thinks about it. Thus, in France the requirement is zero, in Italy carries off a quarter of the trials. It takes Sark to understand that the problem is not the penalties written in code, but the certainty that it is used? What a justice system that does not scare the criminals and evildoers produces new well import them from abroad? That we are a paradise for criminals, white collar and collar blacks, foreigners and our own? Those who exalt the program "Law and order" of Sark are the same as the menavano all'altroieri up with "too many interceptions" and "too many prisoners' (as opposed to what?), Instead of too many crimes and too many criminals. The same people who repeat "there are too many drug addicts in prison and extra," as if Italy would stop people because they take drugs or skin color. The same people who a year ago, with the pardon oversized, released 30 000 cheats and for 10 years will force the police and prosecutors to investigate unnecessarily, and courts to prosecute people who, if guilty, be sentenced to virtual. Meanwhile Cofferati, who demanded respect for the law before dagl'imprenditori (Article 18) and then dagl'immigrati and thugs (the security policies in Bologna), took slaps from right and left. Gherardo Colombo has left his gown denouncing the death of legality amid general indifference. And who, in recent years, spoke about the legality of Micromega, Unity, Republic, Diary, in some happy oasis of TV or in the square, was killed as a crime, demonize, forcaiolo, executioner, by the same girotondino now s 'fall in love with the law because he said Sarkar. By the way: it is a girotondino too?
