Meloni will not be present at the torchlight vigil for Borsellino, “public order reasons” – Corriere.it

The President of the Council Giorgia Meloni I will participate tomorrow 19 July in the official ceremony in Palermo in memory of Via D’Amelio massacre in which the judge was killed Paolo Borsellinobut he will not be present at the traditional torchlight vigil organized by the right in the evening in the Sicilian capital for reasons of public order.

On the day of the 31st anniversary of the massacre in which Paolo Borsellino and the agents of his escort were killed by the mafia Walter Eddie Cosina, Agostino Catalano, Emanuela Loi, Vincenzo Li Muli, Claudio Trainathe premier will visit the Lungaro barracks in the morning, where she will testify one Laurel crown within the escorts office and subsequently preside over a committee for order and safety.

In recent days, the theme of the organization in via D’Amelio has inevitably been linked to the controversies sparked by the words of the Minister of Justice Carlo Nordio to reformulate the crime of external competition into a mafia association. The premier’s invitation was to focus on other priorities, which in that very context she had reaffirmed her willingness to go to Palermo. I’ve never missed the commemorations in via D’Amelio and I won’t miss it this year either. Many know how I got into politics. I remember it very well.
