A day in Palermo dedicated to the commemoration of the attack on judge Paolo Borsellino, killed on July 19, 1992 by Cosa Nostra. Yesterday, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni laid a wreath in front of the plaque commemorating police officers Agostino Catalano, Emanuela Loi, Vincenzo Li Muli, Walter Eddie Cosina, and Claudio Traina, and then visited the tombs of judges Giovanni Falcone in San Domenico church and Paolo Borsellino in Santa Maria di Gesù cemetery. The Prime Minister chose to attend the more institutional ceremony in the morning, as she called it, rather than the evening demonstration, which was more transversal from a political standpoint. "I chose to participate at the most institutional moment," she explained, "because there are issues on which institutions must not divide and days on which sterile polemics should not be made." Meloni recalled the work of Borsellino and Falcone and the commitment of the Government in the fight against the mafia: "I started doing politics when they killed Borsellino, and for me, together with Falcone, that example of men of the institutions, aware of the risks they run yet continuing to do their jobs, pushed me to do politics and led me to where I am today." "The sense of presence today is not only that of memory, because memory has meaning and reason if you pick up that baton - concluded the premier - For this reason we participated in the security committee with all the actors who every day, not only in Palermo, deal with the fight against criminal organizations and against the mafia to understand what the government can and should do to help the extraordinary investigators and the Law enforcement officers who in the last eight months have arrested more than 1,300 people, including 29 fugitives. A remarkable task that must be supported, and for which they must consider the Italian government on their side."
