Who raves about Mattarella’s words

Who raves about Mattarella's words

Because I criticize the words of magistrate Cacopardo on Mattarella. Damato's italics

Returning from a conference on Aldo Moro in which he had been one of the speakers and motivated by the intervention of a "Tizio" – he wrote himself – who intervened in the audience to evoke the accomplices just complained about by the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella speaking at the Quirinale relatives of victims of terrorism, Domenico Cacopardo has launched a harsh attack on the head of state on ItaliaOggi . Of which he has been a collaborator for some time, and where he shared the need supported by the "Tizio" to finally name the names of those who betrayed the state in the years of lead.

"Mattarella – wrote Cacopardo, 87 years old in April, former magistrate and collaborator, also with positions in the Cabinet, ministers and prime ministers when he worked, from Massimo D'Alema to Giovanni Spadolini in alphabetical order – has once again wrong. In interpreting his functions and carrying them out, he was elected President of the Republic, and therefore he cannot make his own the free words that have circulated and are still circulating around the country, whether it be the Red Brigades or the Mafia. And his insinuation is essentially a manifestation of a permanent suspicion, repeatedly declared not to correspond to the reality of the facts by the Cassation. See the case of Mario Mori and collaborators”.

But it is precisely General Mori and his collaborators who have just been definitively acquitted of the accusation of having been part of the mafia in the phantom negotiations to extract concessions from the state with the massacres. Here, with regard to Mattarella's speech at the Quirinale, it is about Moro, in the singular, who in 1978 the Red Brigades managed to capture among the blood of the escort, in a slaughter in the street, and then to kill him too, like a dog in the trunk of a car, after 55 very long days of imprisonment in a hideout promoted by the executioners as a "people's prison".

“Mattarella – insisted Cacopardo – is the head of state and not just any Travaglio. And therefore he has the duty, in pronouncing certain sentences, to have them followed by conclusive facts, that is, by precise and detailed references that confirm his generic words. Otherwise, it is so reminiscent of the parliamentary (and Palermitan) vice of mascara without adding a shred of proof. And the time has come for him to do so: speak clearly and cease with the allusions”. Which therefore would be right to complain even the terrorists still alive, and firm in maintaining that they wanted and knew how to do everything alone in the terrible years of lead.

I find these aids somewhat extravagant, willingly or unwillingly, also in words, given to such and such scum, even at the cost of attacking a President of the Republic who is also born in Palermo, given the mention of the Sicilian city made in parentheses by Cacopardo. Who is not the only one, inside and outside the newspapers, to think so of Mattarella, even if he was the only one to write it so explicitly and harshly.

I have no words to comment. I leave them to the imagination of the readers, on whose sagacity I bet, especially if they are old enough to have lived through those terrible years produced with their own alleged strength by the terrorists.
