33 years have passed since the Capaci massacre, in which judge Giovanni Falcone, his wife Francesca Morvillo and the escort agents Vito Schifani, Rocco Dicillo and Antonio Montinaro lost their lives. In these years the beacon of justice has never lost its strength, also guiding the new generations on the path of legality and towards the rule of law. But on Capaci, even after more than three decades, there is also some news. The news is from a year ago, but it has only come out now: in the planning and execution phase of the attack on Giovanni Falcone the subversive right had no role. A conclusion reached by the Prosecutor's Office and the investigating judge of Caltanissetta Santi Bologna who has closed the investigation on the so-called black trail .
An almost predictable outcome emerged on the eve of the commemorations of the massacre that cost the lives of the magistrate and the escort agents. Between echoes of the investigations and rites of memory, Palermo has prepared to remember "the attack". Once again, as a backdrop to the demonstrations - the "official" one of the Falcone Foundation, chaired by the judge's sister, Maria Falcone, and the "alternative" one organized by various associations.
" The mafia, like every human fact, had a beginning and will also have an end ": this is what Falcone repeated, urging society to do its part. His voice, as History teaches, has not been in vain. But, as the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella underlined today on the occasion of the 33rd anniversary of the massacre, "the mafia has suffered very heavy blows, but the work of eradication must be given continuity, grasping its transformations, the new links with economic and financial activities, the gray areas that form where civic commitment gives way to indifference".
The Head of State then urged us to "always maintain high vigilance, involving the new generations in the responsibility of building a future free from criminal constraints . The ferocious and bloody attack that the mafia committed thirty-three years ago in Capaci, and that it repeated a few weeks later in via D'Amelio in Palermo, constitutes one of the deepest wounds in our republican history". In addition to the thoughts dedicated to the victims of Capaci, he also remembered Paolo Borsellino, Emanuela Loi, Agostino Catalano, Walter Eddie Cosina, Vincenzo Li Muli, Claudio Traina. Servants of the State, "whom the mafia killed with sensational violence to subdue the civil community. Those tragedies generated a resurgence of society and institutions. The massacre revealed the threat to the freedom of every citizen. The fight against the mafia intensified to the point of undermining the positions of command of the criminal organization".
