«On the occasion of the anniversaries of massacres in Capaci and via D’Amelio, the top floor of Palazzo Pirelli will be illuminated in white while, on the facade, the office lights will light up to form the date “23-05-19923” and subsequently that of “19-07-1992″. The Office of the President of the Regional Council, as well as the Presidency of the Regional Council, have expressed their assent to the request I presented in this sense.” Paola Pollini, president of the Anti-Mafia Commission of the Lombardy Region, said this.
«Even today, the investigations just concluded – adds Pollini – by the police and in particular by the DDA of Milan, remind us that Lombardy is constantly subject to predation by organized crime, and it is precisely our citizens, our entrepreneurs and our administrations who are the targets of the mafias. Every opportunity must be exploited to promote the founding principles and values of anti-mafia.”
«Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino – he concludes – represent symbols capable of shaking consciences, today as yesterday. It is the duty of all institutions to make every effort to combat the mafias and above all to give an example to their citizens of concrete commitment in the fight against organized crime and corruption. Even through a symbolic, but very important, gesture like this.”
