(ANSA) – TURIN, MAY 19 – “Do not just remember the killing and death but deepen the study of who Giovanni Falcone was. He was not just an anti-Mafia magistrate, he was a man who loved the democratic institutions of our country”. This is the appeal of Maria Falcone, sister of the magistrate murdered by the mafia 30 years ago, to the students present at the Bookstock Arena of the Salone del Libro.
“The last time I saw Giovanni, he told me that we had to hurry to save democracy in our country – he recalls – On this anniversary of the Capaci massacre, I had the perception that, after so many years of projects in schools, we have the knowledge of the Mafia phenomenon even outside the South. The most extreme South and the most extreme North have joined together in the fight against the Mafia and this is for me the greatest gift on the 30th anniversary of Giovanni’s death “.
“Giovanni did not want to be a hero, he just wanted to be a good magistrate”, says Maria Falcone, hoping for “some adjustment” to the law on assets confiscated from organized crime, because the bureaucracy “sometimes doesn’t go right”. (HANDLE).
