Intervention by Rita Borsellino The Scent of Freedom of Speech

Palermo, July 25, 2008

I'm sorry it can not be there with you today. A knee injury forced me to stay at home and to limit its public commitments. A compulsion for me these days, in recent weeks, it is even more difficult to bear. A few days ago was the sixteenth anniversary Slaughter of the Via d'Amelio. Like every year this has meant to me riacuirsi of nostalgia and grief for the loss of Paul, but this year has meant more than the other years, a great suffering for the climate we are experiencing.

Because today Paul and John are all heroes but yesterday were the target, were yesterday accused of being left alone and antimafia professionals. Allegations that I feel back in those days and indeed are extended to the judiciary. There is a climate of confrontation between the government and the judiciary and there is an attempt, not too hidden, confusing maps, mixing facts, names, people, Things to destabilize even well-established certainties. So, first we commemorate the martyrs of justice but decides to martyr the whole judiciary. Paul and John are called heroes, but also a hero is defined as the groom's mafia Arcore, Mangano.

And again, it prepares for the parliamentary immunity of the highest offices of state to avoid the processes of the President of the Council, and is hampering investigations and information world with a rule that will make it against eavesdropping difficult the search for truth in our country. I find this an unprecedented gravity and I am pleased that in this initiative to talk about it together. The fight against organized crime is made up of many facets and needs the commitment of everyone. My brother said, "every man for what he knows and what he can." Today it serves a greater effort, a stronger commitment: by the healthy forces within the policy, citizens, associations, and information. Dates, times like that you have organized, they serve to bring together those who are convinced that the challenge can be won against the Mafia. Greetings to you all, and Don Ciotti. Let us go forward together. With patience and persistence. Making our voices heard. See you soon,

Lirio Abbate in The Scent of Freedom

Dear Matt, here's a brief speech to apologize for not being able to be with you.

I apologize for not being present at your own initiative. The title dell'appuntamnto you wanted to: "The scent of freedom," he quoted the words of Paolo Borsellino, sits well with the danger of an attack on "press freedom" you are going to legislate in Parliament. Perhaps not everyone knows who is at risk the freedom of information in our country. I am referring to the bill that the Sicilian Minister of Justice, Agelino Alfano, presented, named after the wiretapping bill. In fact it is a gagging the judicial reporting. In fact it is a cancellation of the court - if it is approved as is by law - from the pages of newspapers, from television and the weekly. If you take the article 2 of this bill, that all the politicians continue to call on the interception, but it goes far beyond wiretapping, freedom of information is really at risk, because it provides for the prohibition of the publication, even partially, for the content or summary of news relating to matters of justice. And this also applies to the acts of the preliminary investigation and as acquired to the file of the prosecutor or defender, even though there is no longer any secrets. It means that for months if not years, you can not write anything, perhaps only the name of the suspect, but not the charge, not the offense, nor elements of the prosecution nor the defense, and this applies for all to the mafia, murder, robbery, the poor health care. Damage to the democracy of our country. Harm to citizens.

I wonder, though in my heart I have the answer to those who can benefit all, since we live in a country where we still need to know, understand and investigate the misdeeds that occur every day, not only in public buildings.

should wake up quickly from deep sleep in which someone wants to settle down.
