Have a good look at who the candidates are

This is an invitation to Internet surfers: the lists for the election campaign have been officially put forward and for the presentation of the candidates who will go into Parliament.
As well as asking for their voting certificates we of Italia dei Valori asked our candidates for their criminal clearance certificates. We have no convicted felons.
I urge you to look what has happened in some other parties, and I’m saying this because I have noted a few names that I remember from the time when I was a magistrate. Even at that time, I saw their names in a list one above the other, but they were the lists of those in the register of people under investigation, some in the register of those on trial and even, some in the list of those who had been convicted and sentenced. So I’m reflecting, going beyond the beautiful words of “the rule of law, security and justice”, going beyond the beautiful words of “generational change” and “the new”. Have you seen Casini who says “the new” and then puts forward Cuffaro as a candidate?. Have you seen Berlusconi who says “rise up again Italy” then he has made to rise up again Sciascia, the finance director of his publishing group, the one who created the funds to pay the bribes through Berruti to the Guardia di Finanza {Finance Police}: they have both been convicted, Berruti and Sciascia. Berruti has already been in Parliament, Sciascia, they are sending there now. So, watch out for the names of the candidates, because looking at those you can see who is being serious and who is walking all over us, trying to bamboozle you one more time.
To avoid making mistakes, I’m looking at the names of all the candidates, remembering what has been my past experience, and in the next few days I will make out a list, first and second names, of these people. In this way you will know who the candidates are, because in the election lists you won’t find their names, you cannot find them there, however you will know which party they belong to and , as the saying goes, “tell me who your companions are and I’ll tell you who you are!”
Given that Berlusconi is going with Ciarrapico, we know that he is also a fascist. Given that we know that certain parties are putting forward as candidates convicted felons and people who celebrate with little pastries even when they are convicted, thus it means we know who they are. I will list them for you, one after the other, so that you will know, because what has happened in the past must never happen again.
The other time, in Puglia, something strange happened to me: I couldn’t have a direct face to face discussion between myself, a candidate, and the other candidate who was called Frigerio. He never turned up for the appointment. So much so that three or four days before the elections, I went to the Appeal Court to find out about this person Frigerio, who didn’t even have a photo for publicity during the election campaign. I discovered that he’s called Gian Stefano Frigerio, from Cernusco sul Naviglio, in Lombardy, and that he went to be a candidate in Puglia, between San Marco in Lamis and Manfredonia, near to Padre Pio’s territory, making out that he was a pious and devoted person, when in reality he was one of those who go “pijo pijo”, in that he had been convicted more then once for having received bribes during his institutional activity in the Region of Lombardy.
In Puglia no one knew him and they thought “Is he from San Marco in Lamis? Is he from Manfredonia? Is he from Torre Maggiore or from a village round here? Perhaps I’m the one who is stupid. How come I don’t recognise someone like that?” They voted for him by putting a cross on the symbol for Forza Italia, and he went into Parliament: he had a mountain of convictions, a convict who should have gone to San Vittore {a prison} and instead he found himself in Montecitorio {Parliament}.
Given that this time I don’t want to run the risk that citizens don’t have the information, very soon I will draw up a list with the names of these candidates in alphabetical order, or if you prefer in the order of convictions, so that you will be able to do a great automatic search, according to the ones with the most convictions or following the alphabetical order, just as you prefer.
