The date will be decided next Tuesday
We are left with the ballet of reconstructions and denials of denials of denials, in a suspicious recursion that would put even a mathematical logician like Gödel.
It all started with last Saturday’s rally by the mayor of Bari Antonio Decaro who – feeling himself a victim of lèse majesté for a possible dissolution of his municipality due to mafia infiltration after the arrest of 130 people – “called the square” – who reacted with 10,000 people who were then astonished witnesses of what would have happened.
And so on a warm and sunny day as alone Bari can offer the square he replied, too bad it was a boomerang.
In fact, during the rally the political father of Decaro and that is the “brotherly friend” Michele Emiliano, president of the Puglia Region, who affectionately took his hand, told a terrible “anecdote” from several years earlier when Decaro, then councilor, threatened in the square by a “hard thing”, perhaps a finger or a gun stuck in his back he ran away to seek protection from his mayor, Emiliano, who took him to the sister of a boss in Bari Vecchia.
Emiliano perhaps wanted to give himself an image of Mr. Wolf, who was in the great film Pulp Fiction Quentin Tarantino“solves problems” but the effect was disastrous because it does not seem like a good way to proceed for a mayor – magistrate (he is still in office) to go and speak directly with the sister of a boss, even if she has a clean criminal record.
In these cases, in fact, you go to the competent authorities and report the fact instead of trying to fix things yourself.
On Saturday evening the duo’s ten-year solidity was already cracked because Decaro had denied his “brotherly friend” by saying that he does not frequent the bosses’ sisters and had never frequented them.
Embarrassment, cold sweats, disbelief.
Ma Emiliano he has broad shoulders (in every sense, being a big man) and therefore not only did he not deny his version but said that it was Decaro who he didn’t remember well. At which Decaro said that he remembered very well and Emiliano began to take side paths, giving confusing alternative explanations, saying that perhaps Decaro had come with him to his sister’s but then they had called him for a moment and he had gotten distracted due to his own synchronic properties, coincidentally, at the exact moment the boss’s sister appeared.
In short, there was enough for the parliamentary and bicameral anti-mafia commission to move.
And so it was.
Yesterday the bureau led by Chiara Colosimo (FdI) met. The request was from the center-right but Italia Viva from Matteo Renzi she immediately joined.
The centre-left, in full Mariuccia asylum syndrome, said that if the Apulian duo is summoned then the Minister of the Interior must also be summoned Matteo Piantedosi. It’s a shame that Piantedosi only did his duty as required by the law of the Italian Republic, that is, he began the evaluation procedure to verify the possibility of dissolving the municipality of Bari due to mafia infiltration, given the control that the clans exercised over the Bari municipal company Amtab , moreover in judicial administration.
Now what will happen?
We must wait for a new bureau expected only later Easter that is, next Tuesday, when a calendar of hearings will be drawn up.
For the record, in a backwards country like Italy, the secretary Elly Schlein she immediately rushed to secure Decaro with a candidacy for the next European Championships, to “reward him”.
