23 May 1992 - May 23, 2009
's been 17 years since, on the highway A29 near the junction of capacity, the anti-mafia judge Giovanni Falcone , his wife Francesca Morvillo and three officers of the escort, Schifani Vito, Rocco Di Cillo , Montinaro Antonio, were killed in an attack by the Mafia wanted.
Five tons of TNT to kill five human lives and dignity of an entire country believed free.
17 years ago, the mafia has made an illustrious victim and has created a hero whose memory can not be buried under tons of TNT, dust and blood.
Giovanni Falcone has sacrificed life itself in the name of a state that has not been able to protect.
The only possible reward for his sacrifice, will be our memory, our voice, why is silence that kills twice.
(Giovanni Falcone)
Meanwhile, Rai Fiction , right now take a decision very happy: block the airing of the drama on Giovanni Falcone, to comply with the 'level playing field' in As in the film along with Falcone also known as the brother of Paolo Borsellino Rita Borsellino , the Union candidate for president of Sicily.
His reaction is more che condivisibile: "E' incredibile, è inverosimile pensare di potere strumentalizzare due figure come quelle di Falcone e Borsellino. E' una mancanza di rispetto non tanto per me ma nei confronti loro e nei confronti dell'intelligenza e della sensibilità degli italiani" .
Si spera che la vera ragione non sia di natura prettamente politica.
Si spera che l’impegno civico non sia calpestato da puri interessi personali.
Si spera che la sola idea di strumentalizzare il nome e le azioni di due grandi Eroi sia ben lontana dall’etica di pubblico servizio ricoperta dalla Rai.
