"The concept of gag and information is something difficult to define" He said a friend of mine, a few days ago. It 'hard to define where the gag begins and ends the information. It 'difficult to distinguish the gray areas, and red, high risk. The truth is a bit 'all prefer to talk about anything else. The economic situation of workers of Pomigliano D'Arco, environmental disasters that threaten our health. We would like to start talking about a different society. We would overturn this state of things, this frantic apathy that pervades Italy far too long. Yet we are immersed, for weeks, in endless debate that occupies the front pages of newspapers and conversations in front of the bar: the wiretaps. The message from the leader is clear, obvious: No more rompeteci the balls. Let strafogare the rubble of Abruzzo. Let us convert Palazzo Grazioli in a brothel. Let us do business! In short, just the newspapers that make inquiries. Indeed, those who try risking jail. For three years. Banned journalists. Ban's brave publishers. Ban, alas, the truth.
The other morning, in absolute silence, Eboli was awakened with a huge gag over her mouth. Anyone who is found walking the streets of downtown, last Wednesday, June 23, he could see the lions in Piazza della Repubblica gagged. The same war memorial and all the busts in the city, Matteo Ripa Carmine Calo, up to Carlo Levi had a gag over her mouth. A strong message. Which unfortunately has not had the effect it deserved, nor among the population, or in local newspapers. However, we like to think that Eboli can share something good, proactive, putting an emphasis on the vileness of the cultural politicians in the government. And this message must start with young people. Lest there never sleazy attempts to silence the truth.
