Are they being monitored? No damn it, and here I thought I was living in a state with free information! Darling, I can inform myself through the web (for how long, I don't know), but how many can do it? You know that the vast majority of the population using the web does so to post huge nonsense on social networks, right? And that the average age isn't that low; not everyone informs themselves online... Falcone and Borsellino may have "won," for heaven's sake, but won what? A war is won when one of the two contenders lays down their arms and cries surrender with a white flag; here, it seems to me that there has been no surrender, that there has been no loser, that the magistrates have slowly disappeared, that the good ones walk around with bodyguards for fear of getting a bullet in the head 24/7... It seems to me that the work of the magistrates is being obstructed in every way... And, above all, kudos to the maxiprocesso, but... No one has publicly waved the connections between the mafia and politics; it's just suspicion... This was a fundamental point they wanted to reach... And it seems to me that "someone" is still a senator for life. Falcone and Borsellino were swept away because they reached a point of no return; they touched too many uncomfortable issues. Word of mouth is like going to the barber and saying, "You know, I heard that guy over there has been dealing with that one, took bribes, shook hands with a mafioso." "No way?" "Yes, yes, I'm telling you it's true." Then you go home, turn on the TV, and they stuff you with rubbish, like that the guy you heard about at the barber was acquitted (maybe with a doubtful formulation, due to statute of limitations, or a technicality), they throw in a couple of breasts and a few buttocks, a nice car for 9,999 euros, a prime-time match, and you’re happy and forget everything. In fact, when you go to vote, you remember that the guy was acquitted, that the magistrates are all red, Taliban, communists and magically place a cross right there… But if it were known that this guy has had and still has criminal proceedings for simple corruption (decriminalized), illegal funding to parties, false accounting (no longer a crime, or am I wrong?), false testimony, judicial corruption, bribery, embezzlement, tax fraud, conspiracy to murder, drug trafficking, money laundering... Is that enough for you? Don't you think that if the information covered this, not all the time, but every once in a while, it wouldn't be better, or something good, just, and righteous? Knowing who this delightful humorist driving the wheel is and what he does is a right for everyone, isn’t it? And who should tell me? The barber? The greengrocer? My father? Or the television and newspapers? No, tell me... Because if true information lies in word of mouth, tomorrow I’m going to ring every doorbell in the province and start spreading the facts, only I'd be arrested by the tenth doorbell... Or not? And who would remember me then? My cellmate? It’s better that a journalist tells me while half-dressed and that the press awakens consciences... Or not?
