Success for the literary meeting with Pino Masciari. The book "Organizing the courage" tells the story of a family forced to flee because of high risk of life because of the complaints against the pressure exerted by the Calabrian 'Ndrangheta. Moved the audience saccense Masciari Giuseppe Calabrese is a building contractor, was born in Catanzaro in 1959, subject to special protection program by October 18, 1997, along with his wife (Dentist) and their two children. Pino has denounced the 'Ndrangheta and its collusion with the political world. Organized crime has destroyed his undertakings of construction, blocking the activity is in the public works in the private sector, slowing practices in public administration where it is infiltrated, hampering relationships with banks with which it operated. Everything from the day he had enough to pressure mafia dei politici ed al racket della ‘ndrangheta.
Il sei per cento ai politici e il tre per cento ai mafiosi, ma anche angherie, assunzioni pilotate, forniture di materiali e di manodopera imposta da qualche capo-cosca o da qualche amministratore, nonché costruzioni di fabbricati e di uffici senza percepire alcun compenso, regali di appartamenti, e acquisto di autovetture: questo fu il prezzo che si rifiutò di pagare.
Fu allontanato dalla sua terra per l’imminente pericolo di vita a cui si è trovato esposto lui e la sua famiglia.
Si è parlato di questo e di molto altro ancora durante l’incontro letterario che si è tenuto presso il circolo Garibaldi di Sciacca e che è stato organizzato dall’associazione L’AltraSciacca e dalla libreria Mondatori. “Organizzare il coraggio”, Add Editore, è un libro che è stato definito “un pugno nello stomaco, leggetelo a costo di rovinarvi la giornata”. Il libro è stato scritto da Pino e Marisa Masciari e racconta tutto quello che è successo a questa famiglia dal momento in cui hanno deciso di non pagare né pizzo né tangenti.
Da quando operava nella sua attività con le sue aziende, Pino Masciari non si arrese mai ai soprusi della ‘ndrangheta, si ribella, riferisce all’Autorità Giudiziaria e denuncia, fino al punto di decidere la chiusura delle sue imprese licenziando nel settembre 1994 gli ultimi 58 operai rimasti.
Il 18 Ottobre 1997 Pino, Marisa, and two newborn children entering the program of special protection and disappear from night to day, no more family, work, love, nothing more than Calabria. Pino testimony in major cases against the 'Ndrangheta and the system of collusion, and as part of a civil offense. Becomes "the main witness of Italian justice", so it defines the general prosecutor Pier Luigi Vigna. Start a long ordeal: accompaniments with armored vehicles, with the license plate of the protected premises, made to sit in the middle of several defendants complained of, intimidated, left without an escort on several occasions about the processes in Calabria, registered in the lodge with his real name and surname , undocumented coverage. Too many episodes reveal the flaws of the system of protection which should ensure safety for him and his family.
in 2001 by Law 45/2001 establishes the form of witness to justice, exemplary citizen who feels the sense of civic duty to testify as a service to the State and Society. On July 28, 2004, the Central Commission of the Ministry of the Interior's notification "that there are serious and ongoing risk profiles, which do not permit to authorize the return of Masciari and his family in the village of origin, Considering that the return unauthorized in the place of origin could constitute infringement liable to revocation of the special protection program. "
On October 27, 2004, three months later, the Central Commission of the Interior Ministry's notification, the term of the special protection program. Among the reasons indicating that the processes were completed. What is not true: the trials were under way and the DDA issued on Catanzaro, February 6, 2006 following the resolution, certified that the process was being handled.
January 19, 2005, Pino makes use of the Lazio Regional Administrative Court against the withdrawal, an action that allows him to remain under protection program on remand.
February 1, 2005, without taking into account the action already in place, the Central Commission of the Ministry of the Interior shall act again to "invite the witness to give justice Masciari the formal acceptance of the previous resolution pointing out that the lack of acceptance by the Masciari, however, follow the termination of the special protection program. "
In January 2009, after 50 months compared to six months established by law 45/2001 article 10 paragraph 2 e, the TAR of Lazio says the ruling on the appeal and the inalienability of the right to establish security, the inability to protection systems or programs at predetermined time limit, and order the Ministry to implement the resolutions on security, social rehabilitation, employment, compensation for damages. Pino Masciari for through its formal application for compliance with legal notice of the award. Having received
no response by the Central Commission of the Ministry of the Interior, announces Pino's will begin April 7 strike hunger and thirst, until they see it respected the rights of his family even before their own. The hunger strike is a last resort, we support the view of the urgent need to return to live. Thanks to Pino Masciari we learned to love the state. Twelve years of exile and suffering are a very high price that they paid Masciari with dignity, never deny your choice.
A story that has touched so many present and moved the same author who, despite the many meetings which now takes part, never fails to melt warmly tells its own story while raw.
Masciari writes: "Think about it, I wish for an instant have you said, tomorrow morning I'm in another place, I be tomorrow I can not use my name, I have not any more tomorrow."
The rest of the story consists of Masciari this: he has now left the Calabria, lives under guard, but recovered a little of his life, using it to run schools, to talk to the young State ed'Antistato. The trouble is that sometimes these two terms express the same idea.
Hope comes from but one of the last laws written in Calabria. The Calabria Region will entrust the work to employers who denounce extortion, "to reward their civic courage and their commitment to fighting the 'Ndrangheta. " He said the president of the Calabria Region, Giuseppe Scopelliti, calling the fight against organized crime a priority of the Board. " "To that end - added Scopelliti - will create a list of entrepreneurs who have complained that the racket may be assigned work, by facilitating their access to public procedures. Following the concept that I have frequently stated, that the 'Ndrangheta has more fear' of the facts than words, we have approved a bill that will be considered by the Regional Council in February, which provides for concrete actions to support in favor of employers who have denounced the harassment. Our effort must be to avoid being left to himself, as often happens now, who has the courage to denounce extortion. This initiative can also be effected by local authorities. " "Our initiative - said Scopelliti - may also represent a stimulus and an incentive towards entrepreneurs from the region because it reports the extortion suffered." The project, called "Regional measures in support of business crime victims' Ndrangheta and provisions to counter Mafia infiltration in the field of entrepreneurship", sarà discusso ed approvato nella seduta del Consiglio regionale prevista il 22 febbraio. ”Questa legge – ha dichiarato il presidente Scopelliti – consentirà di inserire le aziende che hanno denunciato e che sono vittime di racket o usura in una ‘short list’ che la Regione utilizzerà per affidare commesse sotto soglia”. Anche a questo è servito l’esempio di Pino Masciari.
