ROMA (ITALPRESS) – “The date of May 23 marked the history of the Republic. Capaci’s massacre, one of the most bloody manifestations of mafia dishumanity, was an attack of unpublished ferocity against the freedom and dignity of Italians. In the anniversary, the first thought, moved, goes to Giovanni Falcone, to Francesca Morvillo and to the men of the escort, Antonio Montinaro, Rocco Dicillo and Vito Schifani, barbaramente killed on that tragic day. They will always be united, with the same thread of memory, the names of Paolo Borsellino, Emanuela Loi, Agostino Catalano, Walter Eddie Cosina, Vincenzo Li Muli, Claudio Traina, victims of the same eversiva strategy and also witnesses up to the extreme sacrifice of the constitutional values incompatible with the infamous plots of the mafia. On 23 May he represented the beginning of the civil levy, for this reason he became for the Italians “the Day of Legality”. The criminal organization wanted to bend the institutions with violence and blackmail, but faced inflexible responses, suffering irreversible defeats. Thanks to women and men of institutions, brave and tenacious. Thanks to the decisive contribution of citizens. A commitment that has never stopped, to fight the gray areas, indifference, the metamorphoses of the criminal rain. Giovanni Falcone, and with him Paolo Borsellino, have taught us: the mafia will end thanks to firm institutions, effective and consistent actions of contrast, with an educational commitment that can increase trust in a tomorrow to build together. The legacy of Falcone and Borsellino is an ethical and civil heritage that belongs to our democracy. Pegno delivered first of all to younger generations.” The President of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella.
MELONI “NON LASCIARE CHE IL SACRIFICIO DI CHI HA DATO LA VITA PER LA GIUSTIZIA VENGA DIMENTICATO”
“On May 23, 1992, Italy stood in front of the horror of the massacre of Capaci in which the judge Giovanni Falcone, his wife and colleague Francesca Morvillo and the agents of the escort Vito Schifani, Rocco Dicillo and Antonio Montinaro lost their lives. To remember today this painful page of our History means not to let the sacrifice of those who gave life for justice be forgotten. This is why the National Day of Legality has been celebrated since 2002: a moment not only to remember the victims of all mafias, but to make young people aware of the importance of legality and civil commitment. Because it is from memory and our daily choices that we can build a future free from fear and indifference.” The President of the Council, Giorgia Meloni, writes about his social profiles.
LA RUSSA “IL LORO SACRIFICIO RESTA UN MONITO E UN’EREDITA’ MORALE”

Their sacrifice remains a warning and moral inheritance for institutions and for all those who serve the nation with courage, honor and sense of duty. To cultivate their memory means renewing their commitment to defending legality and fighting against all forms of mafia crime.” He writes on his social profiles the president of the Senate, Ignazio La Russo.
