I’ll tell you facts and amnesia about Falcone and beyond
From the general omissions on Falcone to Enrico Letta's distractions on Draghi's risks . The Scratches of Damato
The first temptation, wanting to identify the most topical issue, is to lament the eccentricity of Giovanni Falcone's celebrations also on the thirtieth anniversary of the Capaci massacre, where the mafia killed him with his wife and almost the entire escort.
Everyone – even those who would not have the right to have at the time participated by magistrates, politicians and opinion leaders in the contestation of his figure, opposing his career – have returned to praise Falcone for courage, seriousness of investigations and correctness of behavior.
Nobody, I mean nobody, remembered in the commemorative speeches, not even the President of the Republic, to spend a word of thanks, recognition or anything else to the government that was able to evaluate its qualities and, feeling the state of dangerous isolation in which colleagues they had put him in Palermo, he called Falcone in Rome. Where he allowed him to continue his fight against the mafia from the post of director general of criminal affairs of the Ministry of Justice: unfortunately without being able to save his life, because the mafia eliminated him anyway, and in the most spectacular and brazen way possible.
That government was chaired by Giulio Andreotti and had Claudio Martelli as its keeper: both today practically unmentionable as, respectively, a mafioso saved alive from the statute of limitations in court and a remnant of Craxism understood as a delinquent phenomenon,
The first temptation, I said, is to talk about this, and nothing else. But more current, for the purposes of current politics, is instead the mistake incurred by the secretary of the Pd Enrico Letta, returning to indicate the greatest danger for the Draghi government in the highly criticizable – for charity – Matteo Salvini , with his Putinian shots. and anti-Europeans occasionally backed up by the center-right even by Silvio Berlusconi. The Family Journal of which today opened shouting across the front page against the European Union that it "throws itself to the left" only because it continues to keep an eye on Italy's huge public debt, demanding compliance with the commitments undertaken on the reforms in return of EU funding to the national recovery plan.
Enrico Letta does not see, or pretends not to see, that no less than Salvini, and even – I repeat – Berlusconi, is a danger to the Draghi government for Putinism in wartime against Ukraine and mistrust of Europe. Stars, or what's left of them. With which, however, the secretary of the Democratic Party continues to pursue the project of a more or less wide field. He does not realize, poor thing, or does not want to realize, that by now the help provided by Beppe Grillo himself in the formation of his government is failing. And if that of Grillo fails, let alone if Draghi will be able to count on Conte's true support in the growing electoral campaign, in view of the administrative offices of June 12 and the policies of next year: a Conte, moreover, already unable to control the parliamentary groups of which after all, he is not even a member either as a deputy or as a senator.
In Grillo's blog, now no longer so personal due to the also economic agreements made with Conte, a post has just come out that made Marco Travaglio dream again, bringing him into today's editorial of the Fatto Quotidiano to urge Conte to do the pentastellati leave the government and the majority. Which according to Grillo, hiding behind Paul Rulkens and even Einstein, "is always wrong". Instead he is always right, in the indistinct gray mass, that little red man who protests, "breaks with standards" and "goes it alone" because in this way "it is more likely – Einstein's words – that he is in places where no one has ever arrived. ": Before death, I would add, because everyone really arrives there sooner or later.
