President Silvio Berlusconi, after I write in a press conference at Palazzo Chigi is from her been accused, even my book has been accused of being responsible for "promotional support to the thighs." Are not new allegations. I get asked for years: to stop a moment to think about what his words mean. How many reporters, social workers, those lawyers, judges, magistrates, how many writers, directors, but also to those citizens who for years, in certain parts of Italy, they find the strength to tell, to expose themselves to object, think to those who have risked and still are risking and yet are accused of being supporters of criminal organizations for only want to talk about. Why it's better for her not to say. And 'best fiction of silence. Visa and left out. Of letting to the police to the courts as if the gangs were theirs. Their business. And the mafia want their businesses exactly what they are, what exactly is our expression even before it became the name of an organization.
I believe that only the truth and only serves to give dignity to a country. The mafia is determined by who tells the crime or the perpetrators of the crime?
The role of the 'Ndrangheta, the Camorra, the Cosa Nostra is determined by its turnover - a hundred billion euro profit a year - a turnover which exceeds by far the most granite Italian companies. This can not be said? You yourself have submitted a figure that speaks for the seizure to the mafia value of ten billion euro. This means that the writers have to invent? To exaggerate? To commit crimes with their word? Why? Michele Greek Mafia boss who died in prison in the trial against him, defended himself by saying that "it was all because of The Godfather in Sicily where they were instructed trials against the Mafia. Nicholas Schiavone, the father of boss Walter Schiavone Francesco Schiavone, before the cameras confirmed that the Camorra was the head of the writer of the Camorra, the phenomenon was only linked to street crime and that I was myself who wrote the real Camorra of these stories when told that the Camorra was firm, cement, waste policy.
For clan in recent years have seen tell, the word has always represented an affront because it made all information and behaviors that they wanted to stay a few. Because when the word makes universal citizenship to those who were previously considered as separate arguments, so far, for a few, and in that which is being called an intervention of all, a commitment of many, a decision no longer applies only to the public and black reporters. Remember the words of Paolo Borsellino in memory of Giovanni Falcone spoken just before he was killed. "The fight against the Mafia is the first problem to be solved ... must not only be a separate work of repression, but a moral and cultural movement that involves everyone and especially young generations to push them feel the beauty of the fresh air of freedom which reject the stench of moral compromise of the indifference of contiguity and thus complicity. I remember the happiness of Falcone when in a short period of enthusiasm, I said, the people cheering for us. And this is not meant to refer only to the comfort that it gives moral support to the work of judges, especially meant that our work was also to stir the conscience. "
The silence is what they want. They want it all boils down to a problem between cops and robbers. But it is not. E 'showing, showing that you have the chance to have a contrast. Caserta The same plan that his government has has been implemented is because the light on the organization of Casale first known only to insiders and those who suffered its blackmail.
Yet his accusation is not new. Many personalities of the center-field, when the book came out, they said that I had defamed the Neapolitan Renaissance, which I had advertised that mine was just an insane desire to appear. When you leave there's a fire escape those who set fire and blames those who gave the alarm? Looking at those who paid with his life fighting for the truth, I find it absurd and disheartening to think that silence is the only way recommended. Yet President, he could have said many things to demonstrate the commitment of the Italian mafia. He could tell you that Italy is the country with the best anti-mafia legislation in the world. He might remind us of how we Italians know how antimafia to half the world. Criminal organizations in this stage of general crisis are infiltrating in the financial and economic systems of the West today and Italian experts are called to give information to assist governments to combat criminal organizations of any genealogy. E 'dramatic - and we know many - to be labeled an Italian mafia every time exceeds the boundaries of his land. Of course it is. But it is the silence that we show to be different and better.
Spreading the value of responsibility, the courage of saying, the value of the complaint, the strength of the prosecution, we can change things. Accusing
who tells the power of organized crime to make bad publicity the country is not a way to improve the image of Italian but rather to isolate those who do so. Telling is the way to embracing change. This is the only way to prove that we are the country of Giovanni Falcone, Don Peppe Diana, not the country of Toto Riina and Schiavone Sandokan. I believe that there is no mafia in the battle a right or a left to stay with. I simply believe that there is a movement in which cultural and moral vacuum. I will continue to speak to all, whatever be the political, and above all to his constituents, President, many of whom, I believe, will be stunned and outraged by his words. I ask her constituents, I ask the voters of the PDL to help refute his words. It 'the only way to restore the right direction to fight against the Mafia. Ask you not to apologize to me - now I'm used to - but the relatives of victims of all those who have fallen telling. I am an author who has published his books for Mondadori and Einaudi, both publishing houses owned by his family. I always thought that the history of the game from afar Mondadori was fully in line to accept a kind of narrative as mine, I thought he had the tools to validate also strong positions, different schools of thought. After his words I do not know if it will be longer. And I do not know if it will be for all the authors who have dealt with mafia expose themselves and that Mondadori and Einaudi in recent years have published. The thing I do is meeting people in the publishing house which over the years have worked with me, men and women who believed in my words and have managed to get my stories to the public. People who have often had to defend yourself from being editor, press offices, officers, "bought". And instead so far have done a great job. And 'I want answers from them.
One thing is certain: I, like many others, continue to tell. I'll use the word as a way to share, to adjust the world to understand. I was born, Mr President, in a land of wonders and are devastated, but whose beauty continues to give me strength to dream about the possibility of a different Italy. An Italy that can change only if the south can change. I swear President, on behalf of the Italians who consider their dead all those who have fallen fighting organized crime, that there will be silent day. This I promise. A loud.
