ROMA (ITALPRESS) – “The massacre of Via D’Amelio, two months after that of Capaci, marked in depth the awareness of the country. He represented the culmination of an ever-existing design aimed at bending democratic institutions and the same freedom as Italians. Paolo Borsellino paid his magistrate commitment with his life, and with him five servants of the State were killed, whose names are forever registered in the memory of the Republic: Emanuela Loi, Agostino Catalano, Vincenzo Li Muli, Walter Eddie Cosina, Claudio Traina. Thirty-four years after the massacre, our feelings of solidarity and closeness remain intact with the family of all those – men and women of police forces, judiciary and institutions – who defended our community from mafia cancer. That eversive design, with their contribution, was defeated. The Republic has proven to be stronger. Capturing and condemning executioners and senders.
Borsellino and Falcone are symbols of the country’s civil collection.” The President of the Republic said so, Sergio Mattarella in a message on the anniversary of the massacre of Via D’Amelio.
“With their professionalism and courage they have instructed processes that they could not celebrate before. With their commitment to the institutions they gave the State new and more advanced tools in the fight against mafias. With their passion they have sown the culture of legality, teaching young people that mafia logic must be countered by everyday behavior and school. Their commitment is part of the democratic conscience of the Republic.”.
MELONI “E’ UNA DATA CHE HA SEGNATO LA STORIA DELL’ITALIA”
“The 19th of July is a date that marked the history of Italy. And he also marked my life. Paolo Borsellino left us a legacy made of courage, love for the Homeland and trust in young people: ‘If the youth deny her consent, even the omnipotent and mysterious mafia will disappear as a nightmare’. In his memory, we continue to go along the road he has indicated to us, with the same commitment in the fight against organized crime and in defense of legality”. He writes on social media the president of the council, Giorgia Meloni.
