(ANSA) – REGGIO CALABRIA, JUL 18 – Reggio Calabria honored Paolo Borsellino with the installation, in the space adjacent to the entrance to the Aragonese Castle, of a “bench of memory” that recalls the magistrate killed 30 years ago in Palermo in attack in via D’Amelio that also cost the lives of five members of his escort. The initiative was promoted by the Metropolitan City and the Municipality.

A sentence by Borsellino was engraved on the bench: “if the youth deny you consent, even the mafia will vanish like a nightmare”. “It is nice that these very words – said the acting mayor, Paolo Brunetti – complete a public space particularly frequented by children and teenagers.

These testimonies are fundamental because they also represent a sign of hope that looks to the younger generations and tries to transmit a feeling of renewed trust in the State, representing at the same time an invitation to cooperate and commit to defend the common good and always operate in respect. of the rules “.

“We wanted to make a gesture – commented the acting mayor of the metropolitan city, Carmelo Versace – with a high symbolic value. It is precisely from these gestures that we need to start again to strengthen the common commitment against crime and to protect legality. particularly significant that this symbol, which recalls the sacrifice of women and men of the judiciary and law enforcement agencies in defense of democratic values, was placed between two schools, further testimony to the centrality of the educational and training course aimed at younger generations and the constant effort that the institutions are the first to make to affirm the principles of civil life and the clear rejection of malfeasance and any logic of compromise “.
