SUMMARY OF THE REPORT ON THE MAFIA IN TUSCANY

SUMMARY

Presentation: Piero Grasso, President of the Italian Senate

“...Today, as President of the Senate, I called to a role in ensuring that prevents me from getting to the heart of the process of formation of the law and even to vote on the laws. But not for this I gave up the struggle for the rule of law and justice. This is a goal to which we must all contribute, with a renewed ethical impulse and an even greater technical knowledge of the phenomenon.
I am sure that this Report, extraordinarily innovative in its ability to analyze the mafia infiltration, would have liked to Anthony Caponnetto, hero symbol of this struggle…
His courage, his strength , his ability to create harmony and harmony in the work are now the lifeblood dellaFondazione that bears his name, engaged in the front line against organized crime, in particular through the continued work of training and awareness raising to young people, the future citizens of our country. Without the commitment of the Foundation Anthony Caponnetto and all other associations that struggle every day for the rule of law would we be today certainly more helpless in the fight against the mafia…”.

FRANCIS POPE IN LAMPEDUSA: WE CONTINUE TO CRY

Francis Pope in Lampedusa: “A historic day characterized by simplicity and familiarity”, said the president of the Fondazione Mediterraneo Michele Capasso, returned to the island a few days after the conclusion of “Laboratories Mediterranean” organized by the Italian Network of the Anna Lindh Foundation for the Dialogue between Cultures.
Before going down on the dock of Lampedusa , the Pope placed in the sea a wreath to remember the migrants died at sea. Papa Francesco opened so his first visit to the island, where they expected a crowd of 10 thousand people. It was precisely the news of migrants died at sea, those boats that instead of being a way of hope have been a way of death to have it pushed to choose Lampedusa as a goal of his first visit. The purpose, as pointed out during the mass, is to awaken our consciences so that what happened will not happen again. It is estimated that in the journeys of hope from Africa to Europe have lost their lives at least 25 thousand people in the last 20 years.
“The Pope - said the president Capasso - has opened a gash over indifference, or rather on the ‘globalization of indifference’ as he called himself, recalling the conscience of all of us to take an active role in the responsibility of solidarity and policy choices in terms of reception, integration and coexistence”.
Fondazione Mediterraneo, with its Civil Society networks, decided to respect the engagement assumed in 2011 with the Mediterranean Parliamentary Assembly: to realize the “Totem of Peace” dedicated to “Unknown Migrant”, as a promise to Francis Pope in order to contrast the indifference that affects the whole world and as love act towards our siblings dead in the sea”.
