I was shocked by the “common” look of the people opposed to Marcello Dell’Utri’s presence. It happened yesterday at a meeting organized by the association “ParoLario”
“It wasn’t an organized group belonging to any association, just boys and girls in their t-shirts, normal citizens, happily smiling on this sunny afternoon on the banks of lake Como” (Il Fatto quotidiano”
These words give a clear picture of what happened. Common citizen wanted to say their “no” to the presence of a Senator who had been condemned to seven years of imprisonment because of his partnership with Cosa Nostra.
A pacific, yet steady, protest. On their banners there were the names of the people who died at the hand of the Mafia, that of General Carlo Alberto Dalla Chiesa above all.
To oppose characters who openly praise Mafiosi such as Mangano, the infamous “groom” of Arcore, or to rebel against those who have had links to the Mafia is a sign of a clear social conscience.
Until a few decades ago it would have been unconceivable, for example, for a person like the President of the Lower House Schifani (prosecuted three times for Mafia crimes) to obtain his seat. Nowadays this doesn’t surprise anyone.
The reaction of the people in Como is a signal that something is changing. It’s just a matter of time. Even though pieces of news like this don’t receive much attention by the media. Even though we rather focus on the new kitchen bought by Gianfranco Fini, guilty of having abandoned the PdL.
This second Ventennio, just like the one between 1922 and 1943, is reaching its twilight, and many have already understood this.
