Budget 2008: finally the equalization of the victims of those terrorist mafia

Better late than never: will be put an end to an odious discrimination

Being southern, historically, at least with effect from the Unification of Italy today, has always been a handicap. Under many points of view. Neghiamolo not, you spend a lot of beautiful words and the alleged moral equality between Italians and the economic and social rebirth Rebirth of the South that always seems imminent but managed, oddly enough, to never come. Yet only concrete signs of a radical change compared to the current plight might give hope to the increasingly disillusioned South more so in recent years have seen an expansion of the differences in areas which, on paper at least, were almost completely immune. One of these is the protection of victims of crimes that most offend the sensibilities of those who hope for a better future for our beautiful country: the mafia crimes. In fact, since 2004, with the odious Act 203, the privileges are granted to victims of terrorism excluded from the enjoyment of the victims of organized crime. Victims of series B, of course. And, overwhelmingly, on grounds that there should be no need to point out, residents in the south of Italy with Sicily, Calabria and Campania in the top positions in terms of the number of people eligible for subsidies.

A clarification, necessary and important: the law of the above certainly is not hateful to the idea of \u200b\u200bgiving privileges to the victims of crimes such as terrorism, that have nothing to envy to those of the Mafia as to cause injury to the feelings of pity and indignation of the popular and rule of law. The writer has the highest regard and utmost respect for all victims of violence, which is always unjust. The strong reservations about the Act 203 are the differences that even much implication arises between victims of terrorism and victims of organized crime and not forget duty. And this, at least in the words of politicians, by the time the law was passed, for reasons of a financial nature. And now, because in Italy in the apartments at half the price for political and union money to those who sacrificed their lives for the state and the law are not there. At this point it would be better to give less in terms of benefits, but to give everyone? However, this discrimination is yet another remedy. This is because the Government, declaring it to the mouth of the Secretary to the Prime Minister Enrico Letta, with plans to make specific provision to be included in the next budget bill. We have no reason not to believe the words of Letta. If anything, we would like to humbly express a wish: that in future such differences in treatment does not happen again, because what hurt the most is not the material interest but something infinitely more important. The dignity, that of those for your honesty and your courage has paid a price far too high.
