The CDL has decided to put forward 87 year old Giulio Andreotti, as President of the Upper House (Senato).
This is the second highest institutional position after the President of the Republic.

I am completely opposed to this idea because Life Senator Andreotti, as can be seen in the documentation of the Palermo Appeal Court dated 2 May 2003, has been found guilty of associating with Cosa Nostra for the purposes of committing crime.
This judgement was confirmed by the Supreme Court (Corte di Cassazione) with a judgement  dated  28 December 2004.
The only reason that Andreotti was not sentenced was because the crime that he committed took place before the spring of 1980 and therefore was “Prescritto” as there was too long a gap between the time when the crime was committed and the time when the judgement was delivered.

The judgement explained that Andreotti encountered the top level mafia personnel who were involved in the murder of Piersanti Mattarella, who was Presidente of the Region of Sicily. He met them before and after the murder.
What better candidate for a coalition of “prescritti”, of those currently under investigation and of those who have been convicted?
