Interesting Facts For Triple X Syndrome

Saviano but I disobey (Gianluca Di Feo)

interview Gianluca Di Feo Roberto Saviano on the new Act to wiretapping 'the Parliament.

I disobey. Roberto Saviano has no doubts: "I will try to continue working as if this law did not exist." Why does the text approved in committee on wiretapping Justice "is a real labor of inquiry castration" and above all a gift from the mafia "who can communicate easily and hide the mechanics of their power."

Four years since the release of "Gomorra," the writer does not see reducing the strength of organized crime and feels "the growing fragility of the judiciary." It receives a climate very similar to that which preceded the massacres of 1992, those spectacular attacks against symbolic targets, men and monuments that have changed the history of Italy: "Even if today the boss decided to raise the bar could make a shoulder to the country and choose how to widen. I think the words of Francesco "Sandokan" Schiavone who has evoked a "snowball." In a Roman Saviano terrace you can enjoy the sunset checked after the umpteenth time this spring's dark, dark eyes roam chasing any movement but it is curious anything but distracted always try to look beyond and understand the evolution of moral and economic crisis. playmobil puppets on the table that gave him a small fan, a gunman and a policeman to the teeth with only a truncheon, almost a metaphor for the Italian situation.

If the text of the law on wiretapping will not be changed, the gangs will be more advantaged by the limits on plays or a ban on publication?

"The biggest advantage is the ease of communication. Today, with most animals held for them is increasingly difficult to transmit orders and then manage organizations. Take in prison interviews with family members, the oldest system used to continue to operate. Bidognetti boss in meetings with partner Anna Carrino continually touched his face as if he was stroking his beard. He wanted to tell her: "Please refer to Sandokan." When the woman began to cooperate, he told the judges that it took a dozen interviews to understand what the meaning of that gesture. If the law passes, they will have more of these problems. "

Similarly mafias can communicate even in silence, with the ostentatious signs in the area.

"And that makes it even more important interceptions. The thing that impressed me most is that sometimes there are performances that do not require an order: it happens, as if it were a rule that is in things. I remember ' Federico Del Prete murder of trade unionist in 2002 in Casal di Principe: there was no need for a meeting between heads but only a tacit, when he informed the leadership that was ill-born who went to kill is not that it took bother to seek permission to Sandokan and Bidognetti. It becomes essential to rely on listening to wiretaps and bugs: allows you to understand the context in which certain actions then becomes automatic. "

These dynamics are described in" Gomorrah "and many other books. How can a parliamentary committee that deals with justice in ignore them? To what extent there is bad faith in granting a benefit similar to godparents?

"There is a segment where incompetence and bad faith can be the same. The incompetence is: they want to create a rule for certain benefits while ignoring the effects in the fight against the Mafia. But bad faith is not a direct help to the criminal. Although it is declining because the contrast to the clans as "military force" has only beat them in and seize the assets most striking. This action is important but so is cutting your arms without hitting his head and without eradicating the body. And the excuse of military conflict in bad faith and incompetence can overlap.

So just to protect politicians and other white-collar workers, ensuring their privacy at all costs, it gives an assist to the mafia?

"But the issue of privacy should not be underestimated. I am convinced that the issue of wiretapping today things are not going well: I feel that we need to find new rules, but can not be imposed from above and use the expression again militarily. A democracy needs of shared rules: judges, journalists, lawyers and legislators should sit around a table and develop effective proposals. Because even if there is a protection of privacy must make distinctions: the comments are really something personal, the other is call the manufacturer on the night of the earthquake Abruzzo says, "I'm laughing." That must come in the acts and must be disclosed: the context shows that led to the crime. That is to say that the border of privacy is labile and is especially common sense, which many newspaper editors often do not seem to have. This creates distrust in the reader. "

If the law gets passed, in many newsrooms you begin to rely on civil disobedience. What do you think?

"I can not advise but I know what I'll do. I disobey, I will continue working as if this law did not exist, sorry for the lost opportunity to create new shared rules. Why teach the lesson of American journalism that is the ability to set rules, avoiding the easy shots and gossip shortcuts Photo effect, which makes them strong inquiries. But I think the law is being formulated as a castration is real labor of inquiry: the will to disobey my answer. And I hope that my disobedience is supported by investigators from the police, by All such bodies with which converted from four years: I hope that my "extended family" will help me to disobey. "

Journalists and writers can disobey and challenge the arrest. But the law introducing heavy fines for publishers, creating a deterrent to publication. In these conditions, the Web can become an island of freedom?

"The Web is free. I'm on Facebook I have a new life: my page has more than half a million supporters, what I write there comes to most readers that a national newspaper. The Internet is powerful as a tool to spread the truth but lacks authority. The Web is a communication tool while newspapers are an instrument of democracy: they create debate, have an editorial staff, rely on the loyalty of the player. In 50 years it will also be the Web tool but today is not mature. For this gag news and daily means silencing the most authoritative sources ".

She now has a personality, a celebrity: he feels the weight of attention on her private life?

" I'm used to it: I have seven people escorts who keep what I do 24 hours a day. But for security reasons I must keep hidden life of my family. In this sense I understand when you invoke the right to privacy because it coincides with me with the right to life ".

In market news today is worth more to talk about good or evil Saviano?

"When you saturate the market should speak well to speak ill, but not Saviano, anyone. I do not want to venture in comparison to where I feel inferior to Diego Armando Maradona, a legend in my youth, and even Barack Obama: when he spoke too positive, and attack it should change. It is part of the game, but in my situation that I regret is that I am not a politician, I do not represent my constituents. I am a writer and I'm representative of my word and just. "

But last autumn when she took the stage of Piazza del Popolo in defense of press freedom, has taken a political position.

"Yes, but in the Platonic sense of the word: politics as public art, which unfortunately does not consider the Italians or the division of the pie. I'm not up on stage with the flag of a party and I always wondered sharing positions even of my electorate's center. The President Gianfranco Fini when I defended by claims of Emilio Fede said he did so many of my readers in the name of the PDL. "

So you will have a position "political" only on certain topics?

"Yes, in that sense I do politics, in the sense of the battle of ideas. I feel lucky and privileged I have an autonomous space to do so. Typically, those seeking the battle of ideas must pay the duty, if not the shame of militancy in the party, which means having to come to terms with administrative minutiae, lists and organizational troubles. I am reminded of a passage of "The Betrothed" in which Father Christopher has to face troubles and problems of African newspapers while Charles Borromeo can think about good and evil. At this time the battle of ideas is the space where I feel free. "

you feel more free without a" party Saviano "but we also feel stronger? After Piazza del Popolo were not reduced the scope for communicate your ideas?

"We are reduced because I have become obnoxious to certain political parties. But I still talk to their electorate and I am convinced that this is the element that most annoys them. I remember when I went to the University Roma Tre: outside posters were blacks with white writing "Saviano hero" and "O" turned into a Celtic cross, and red posters that read "Saviano my friend." It was really fun because I was not allowed to have this union. It seems rhetorical but sometimes the truth is, rhetoric has been the law, the idea that at least one thing - the contrast to the mafia - can not be divided. "

shares the Elio Germano's words from the stage in Cannes that he dedicated the award to Italy "in spite of its ruling class"?

"A dedication absolutely right. It is important to refer to that part of the country that wants to do and do well. And it is right to point out that the limits of the entire ruling class: politicians, businessmen and women but also of culture. "

Four years to the publication of "Gomorrah," the gangs are more or less powerful?

"There were thinning of the branches of the military criminal groups, in economic terms there was no great contrast because there was a European conflict. No, I would not say that today are less strong. "

And the judiciary is more or less strong?

" I feel as a scholar that the judiciary is the weakest because the media campaigns against judges and pm's have caused the loss of authority: the climate for them is not the best. And on the other hand, the current internal battles between the judiciary are losing the helm: entire prosecution split for these reasons do not work well. The weakness of the judiciary I hear a lot: than when I wrote "Gomorrah" I feel a crisis of effectiveness and confidence. "

Italy is the home of the courses and claims history. Which phase of our past, recalls the crisis we are experiencing?

"There are two historical moments that help me in trying to understand the present. The first floor on the skin feel, I have not experienced first hand. He's the one that preceded the massacres of 1992. When I talk to prosecutors and investigators feel the same fear, the fear that the boss could give a shove to the country, raising the bar and establishing conditions for the near future. I think of those phrases written in prison by Francesco "Sandokan" Schiavone who warned family by a "snowball" as if to say at this time of crisis, whatever we do the consequences would be enormous and we stop them and redesigning the way destiny. "

And the second reference?

" The climate of post-unification 150 years ago. Interior Minister John Nicotera by former partisan, the issue of the South: the South was occupied not unified. I now feel so much the desire of a part of Europe, even before the League, to rid the South of Italy and see a Southern ruling class, with few exceptions, disoriented if not corrupt. The South seems divided between conniving and resigned, who is in it and who is honest but lost hope. " (La Repubblica, May 27, 2010)
