The pardon has generated an unprecedented sense of impunity among the criminal organisations. Up until now a good 1,000 crimes have been committed by those who have been freed from prison. Among these some homicides. The pardon has not even resolved the problem of the prisons.
The proof of this is Regina Coeli {prison in Rome}whose prison population has gone from 900 prisoners before the pardon, to 746 after the pardon and now has reached 980. The pardon has been useful only to the furbetti del parlamentino {crafty ones of the little parliament} and not just to organised crime.
Previti is still in Parliament. Many trials against those who have committed crimes against the public administration will not take place thanks to the pardon and those who will be found guilty will benefit from discounts of up to three years in prison.
And in this climate of dissolution of the civic sense and moral sense of the country, can we really be amazed at what is happening in Naples? If we don’t take action soon to clear out the anti-justice laws passed by Berlusconi and if we don’t put the Procure {justice offices} in a position to operate by giving them the tools and the financial means, then what is happening in Naples will be just the beginning.
The pardon was a despicable operation, from the moral and from the political viewpoint. The Unione is today seen by citizens as the only grouping responsible for the climate of permissiveness in the country and for the crimes that are following on from the pardon.
It has been forgotten that the pardon was voted for by a bipartisan majority and that the party that has gained the major benefits has been Forza Italia. It has truly been a great operation in communications.
