Because I criticize Sofri and Ferrara on the red terrorists

Because I criticize Sofri and Ferrara on the red terrorists

“I do not feel obliged, as the cacadubis on duty would like, to apologize to the refugees in France for the inconvenience Macron and Draghi are causing them. Excuses just no. Rather, the red terrorists apologize ”. The Scratches of Damato

I too find "lunar" – even like Marco Travaglio in the Fatto Quotidiano , just think – the political and media debate that has opened on the so-called "Red Shadows" operation. Which, practically agreed at the highest levels between the French head of state Emmanuel Macron and the Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi, triggered arrest orders in Paris against ten fugitives from convictions issued in Italy for terrorist offenses and surroundings. Nine of them, arrested or spontaneously surrendered, are now on probation, pending the lengthy procedures for extradition requested by Italy. One is still a fugitive, as I write, in an attempt to expire by prescription on May 10 the sentence for attempted kidnapping and escape the 5 years in prison that he has yet to serve in Italy.

I consider "lunar", I repeat, to be the question "What are you doing now?" addressed by Adriano Sofri, as Palmiro Togliatti asked at the time to Giancarlo Pajetta who informed him that he had occupied the Prefecture of Milan, and the scandal denounced with that "Everyone at home" by some newspaper after the probation ordered by the French authorities for captured or delivered. This justice practiced in this way, wholesale, by those who claim to take the place of the bodies responsible for administering it, arranging with a front page title what the magistrates, from our and other countries, must do or not do is indeed a scandal.

Here are at stake – in addition to the personal destinies of the condemned, wanted and so on, all in any case safe, and not like the dead in the coffins or ashes where they were sent in the so-called Italian years of lead – very high questions of principle. With which he cannot play, from the height of his culture, which I recognize, for heaven's sake, not even Sofri above, below, behind and next to the head of Giuliano Ferrara's Sheet . Who decided, who knows why, to give him a hand by specifying that he did not rejoice in the operation taken in France. But who rejoices, dear Giuliano? There is nothing to rejoice here. Here the problem is only to restore the combination of the laws and the most elementary rules of human coexistence that have been violated for about fifty years. And for which you yourself, still very dear Giuliano, felt the duty to mobilize yourself as a young militant and communist leader, as you rightly wanted to recall by boasting about it, with an action of decisive contrast to terrorism and of denunciation, at the risk of your own physical safety . Let's now try to be serious, and not snobbish.

Personally, even at the cost of being mistaken for a fake or failed guarantor, more than in Sofri's more or less witty questions – "What are you doing now?", I repeat – I feel struck and disturbed by the statement with which Andrea Casalegno , the son of a victim of terrorism, and what a victim, reminded us that a murderer can never become an ex because such a condition is prevented from the murdered. The rest is chatter, and in any case governed by laws that always allow penalties to be commensurate with the conditions of the condemned, if naturally applied with due and desirable skill and humanity.

I frankly do not feel obliged, as the cacadubis on duty would like, to apologize to the refugees in France for the disturbance that those pain in the ass, evidently, Macron and Draghi are causing them. Excuses just no. Rather, it should be expected.
