«Angelo Burzi was a man of institutions. He had been under investigation for years on charges he deemed unfair. He took his own life on Christmas Eve thinking he was making a gesture that would help his family get back to life. Because when you are under investigation like that it is not easy to live, especially for those around you. I believe no one can judge but everyone should read these words. All. Politicians, journalists, magistrates. All”. Matteo Renzi writes it on Facebook, publishing the letter that Burzi left before taking his own life, shooting himself in the head on Christmas Eve.
Burzi’s latest letter: “I am no longer able to bear suffering. An unfair and politically violent sentence against me “
It is only one of the reactions that rained down from all over Italy after the publication of Burzi’s letter in which he said “certain of being totally innocent towards the accusations raised”.
“Please read the #Burzi letter. It is a dignified, tragic and merciless testimony. It is the only thing we can do today to honor the memory of a man I wish I had known. RIP »wrote Carlo Calenda on twitter.
The president of the Turin court of appeal: “Burzi did not come to explain the reasons in his defense”
“I think the time has come to realize that this war – made up of victims who lose their lives, more often the political and social one, sometimes unfortunately also the biological one – must definitively end. That the spirit of execution – which gave rise, among other things to the birth, rise and triumph of the M5S – must finally fade together with the party that gave it life “writes the internal undersecretary Ivan in a post on Facebook. Scalfarotto. “Justice makes no sense if it is administered against someone, on one side against the other. It is in the name of the Italian people that the sentences are issued: all the people, not in a spirit of faction. And it is for this same reason that the accusation is not exercised by us as an elected office: the accusation is called “public” and the ministry, which is the prosecutor “of the Republic”, in its entirety, is called “public”. ” “The crimes must be prosecuted and the guilty punished, of course. The ruthlessness and pillory, however, are not sanctions provided for by the criminal code. The justice depicted holds a sword, but in the other hand he always holds a balance firmly without which the blade would not make any sense. This country of ours needs just justice. Marco Pannella and the radicals already said so many years ago, but if this is the moment for the country to restart, the time for just justice is now. Burzi’s last letter leaves no room for anything else “

The president of the Milan Bar, Vinicio Nardo, draws a parallel with what happened to Sergio Moroni, a socialist deputy who committed suicide in 1992. “The most tragic thing is the loss of a human life that brings us back to an emergency permanent which is called justice. Because the death of Angelo Burzi and, even more so, the defense made by the Attorney General Saluzzo of Turin of the almost ten-year proceeding that the former Regional Councilor faced are the picture of this emergency ». “A few weeks after the anniversary of Mani Pulite for us in Milan, the suicide and the letter from Councilor Burzi are terribly reminiscent of the case of Sergio Moroni and his letter to the Speaker of the Chamber – he explained in a statement – A letter, that of Moroni , which represents a very heavy political testament, both on the times and methods of the processes that keep citizens hanging from an uncertain destiny, and on the social stigma that the media narrative determines and which together can really make justice inhuman. A letter that should be studied in schools ».

“In this very difficult path we rely on the Minister Cartabia, who will have to show extraordinary attention in reconciling the efficiency of processes and procedural guarantees for citizens, to speed up justice without affecting humanity. And I think it will, given the sensitivity it is showing on imprisonment and the execution of the sentence, to which is added the thrust of the new rules on the presumption of innocence. The tragedy of Turin, like that of Moroni thirty years ago at the beginning of Tangentopoli – he concluded -, at least really teach us something ».
