ideas of Irpinia: Legal and moral action Pasquale Colucci Legalità e questione morale non sono due concetti, non sono due questioni, ma solo due aspetti della stessa questione. Chi si occupa del bene comune in quanto funzionario o in quanto politico ma anche il semplice cittadino, ha, nel suo agire quotidiano, due possibilità: o assumere la legalità, il rispetto delle regole come proprio principio ispiratore, oppure avere come proprio unico imperativo quello della realizzazione del proprio interesse, al di là ed al di fuori di ogni regola. E pare del tutto ovvio che porre come fondamentale principio quello di perseguire i propri interessi indipendentemente by the rules, is the renunciation of all moral principle.
But to understand and closely because, for legal reasons, for the moral question, Irpinia is at a crossroads, it is significant about the situation of the Vallo di Lauro, one of the marginal areas of this province that noble past while providing and important cultural traditions has become sadly infamous for the pervasive presence of organized crime. The students can understand how articulate, how they feed, what effects it produces the situation that presence.
The beginning: it seemed almost a folk story, with researchers from northern Europe to study the case of this family close around his head to administer a country and to impose its laws to the whole community.
The transition from one dimension to village holding itself but also the source of the bloody clashes significantly coincides with the arrival of funds for reconstruction and assistance for the housing needs of post-earthquake. It was then, in the mid-'80s that broke the first war between the Camorra clan Cava and Graziano in the Vallo di Lauro, forcing the President of the Republic, Sandro Pertini the action for the first time the instrument of dissolution of civic administration, event then repeated several times, unfortunately. Even at fifteen was a absolute singularity at the national level che non si registrava neppure nella Sicilia dei Liggio e dei Riina; neppure a Corleone infatti il capo del clan era anche il capo dell’amministrazione comunale come era Raffaele Graziano. Ma c’era una ragione che giustificava quella particolarità ed erano appunto i fondi che l’ente pubblico amministrava. I nostri enti pubblici sono tuttora le maggiori aziende che insistono sul territorio per fondi, interessi e personale amministrati.
E di fatti la storia si ripete, allorquando arrivano i fondi per la messa in sicurezza del territorio a seguito dell’emergenza frane del 1998.
E’ questa grande disponibilità di fondi pubblici che ovviamente stimola gli appetiti dei clan. Bisogna infatti pensare che solo per i primi interventi the securing of the municipality of Fifteen were budgeted by the Commissioner for emergency landslide some 100 billion lire, about 50 million € uro current
But of course the crime is not content to wait for the big events that can bring big profits.
And in fact seeks to gain through more traditional activities as it were ordinary and extortion in the first place that focused mostly on the only productive sector as it has seen some expansion, the building industry. In fact if you take a walk in the Vallo di Lauro with a minimum of attention is understood that the spirit of the SS 403, a long thoroughfare in connection with the land Vallo di Lauro di Principato Ultra, in his section of the valley has become a city street with buildings that rise to the right and left, where the strokes are very few remaining vacant. Here is no coincidence that the building took place outside of any detailed planning. It seems that the top clans had even experienced a system to keep track of this particular sector, setting up a station at the roadside from which count all the trucks and concrete mixers that passed in the Wall, by imposing a peak for each load of concrete unloaded. But it was only one way, because there has been no appeal to the more traditional system del pizzo sul cantiere.
Ed è un sistema che ha fruttato, e molto anche. Ricordo che quando ero consigliere provinciale e pensammo di proporre anche un’alternativa sociale a Quindici, allestendo il patto con Rimini, un esponente del clan Graziano avvicinò il nostro presidente dicendogli: “presidente, voi a Rimini ci andate adesso, noi abbiamo investito lì da anni”. Avevano già all’epoca, oltre dieci anni orsono, rastrellato tanto danaro da estorsioni ed altre attività illecite da riciclarlo anche a Rimini.
Insomma, un’attività altamente redditizia, che porta importanti profitti. E se è questa la situazione ancor meglio si comprende come il praticare l’illegalità, il exceed the limits set by unwavering rules, is a choice that will guarantee benefits otherwise unexpected. And this is what we now need to worry more. Because the system of lawlessness when it is not effectively countered, and when it produces results useful to those who practice it, easily creates emulation throughout the company and 'an attitude that just because "rewards" and precisely because he did not effectively countered his emulated in other areas. For example dell'infortunistica
the road. It is no longer a mystery to anyone in the Office of Justice of the Peace of Lauro are introduced every year hundreds and hundreds of jobs relating to road traffic accidents for most of the game which is even imagine the strength to be false, if one takes into account how many people are and how many cars around, those are the real incidents officially registered with local police and law enforcement .
If you want to switch to another sector, the government, even here there is in front of lawlessness in some cases adopted in the system, in some cases even theorized.
Just to be mentioned before and the issue planning to talk about the facts: the three towns that lie along the highway 403 are the ones where he started most of which are better but the delay in planning instruments. Laura even missing sinanche approval of the PUC, the current planning instrument is the Building Program came into effect in 1977. Various and variously developed were the new draft planning instrument adopted during these thirty years, but none has gone through. And the reason is obvious: administrators have theorized the illegality from this point of view. If there is an effective planning tool and force everyone knows where and how you can build and do not need to ask for favors to political duty. But if you recognize the citizen without any problems what is in his right, why should Essert grateful? But if you work to get him something that was not for it, especially if you do understand that you expose yourself to administrator his city, even if it means crossing the threshold of legality, then the city you will be grateful and will ensure your consent . That 's what happened in the field-urban building in Lauro, where, despite this lack of planning has been built as planned and even more than projected by the draft planning instrument adopted. I remember one of the first draft adopted in the late 80s early 90s provided an increase in the population, then 3,800 inhabitants, almost 45%, with a sizing PRG provided by the housing needs of that time to approximately 5,400 inhabitants. Well today all areas as provided for building were almost all built. But if you go to check what is the consistency of demographic Lauro you will find that it has not only increased the hyperbolic 5,400 inhabitants, but has actually decreased in 3650.
and yet you continue to issue building permits. Only in the period before the last election of graduates were 34 building permits issued: here the coincidence is strange. I do not think that we need to make any comment, simply to report another very serious issue that unfortunately did not have the necessary echo in the national media do not say but at least regional or provincial. The legal framework of reference is that before the last change in the regional planning law, in my opinion, in deference to a misunderstanding of the principle of federalism and local self-government, has denied any cogency to the terms and procedures for the adoption of the instruments planning by municipalities. Before, when they were still under the Commissioner, the Joint Commission for Lauro was the adoption of the PRG and was also appointed a commissioner by the first provincial authority to control who, without fully completing his term, he resigned, a second Then he was appointed commissioner in place by the Prefect. But even that mysteriously resigned. Nothing is known about why.
However, if this is the framework, then no wonder what has happened recently in Pago del Vallo di Lauro, a town which is already dissolved in the nineties by infiltration of the Camorra, for a history of identity documents found in the Camorra. For a country and a political class that had decided to change course, the dutiful thing to do was to manage public affairs with the utmost transparency and one of the most sensitive areas for a municipality, the urban planning. He went in the opposite direction. Without wanting to delve into even more specific technical issues, but simply a question of more immediate perception to the public opinion, and the nationality of Pago del Vallo, suffice to say that the boss Cava see that without the approval of a planning instrument can build a house the size of those views, it is a fact not gone unnoticed. It makes us understand how the power of this boss is also on the government to be able to get what they normally would not be permitted and at the same time show off the power and wealth, in short, to be the real masters of Vallo.
But the field of public administration also gives us the worst episodes, for some of them is also some preliminary court intervened. As that of 'a former mayor of Lauro convicted for defamation and threats against a female employee. The story, as my ears have heard, is this: the former first citizen from the stage of the penultimate rally of the election bluntly threatened certain employees known to be not aligned with his list, told them they had counted the hours. Then he passed from words to deeds. Shortly after, in fact his administration put in some people with mobility measures in the civil courts already have rejected. And now the judge in a criminal court has sanctioned the illegal behavior.
As we understand the arrogance therefore, outside of any rule, which has become a system of government of a territory and its community.
But as these situations and should be interpreted primarily as must be faced, the spread of delinquency?
The first is to understand exactly the scope that is no longer limited to a few dozen people, all belonging to the same family. So you should take into account that only the last two operations have affected the direction of the anti-mafia something like over 70 people of the two clans. Moreover it is these operations have confirmed what was already a bit 'of time was known, namely that the clans which have their roots in Fifteen have extended their influence throughout the territory of the capital and Vallo and also to a substantial proportion Irpinia. Not only as an expansion area for their activities, but also increase the area where fila dei loro affiliati e fiancheggiatori. Sembrerebbe quasi superfluo dirlo, ma è assolutamente fuori luogo pensare che la questione legalità e la questione criminalità sia un fatto che interessa solo una piccola parte del territorio regionale e provinciale. E’ concetto noto che la criminalità è come una ferita che non curata si estende a tutto il corpo. Oppure, se si vuole, è una mala pianta che se non estirpata diventa infestante. Può esistere una politica per l’Italia che prescinde dalla questione mafia o camorra? E allora come si può pensare che se ne possa prescindere a livello regionale o a livello provinciale?
Ma l’incancrenirsi della situazione e l’indifferenza di tanta parte della cittadinanza and their political and institutional leaders are also leading to other consequences. The more people cower in their particular subjects better move away from the commitment public, who can run away from our area. Laura Vallo record and a strong tendency to emigration which covers two major categories of people: those who chose to live in Laurel and Vallo for its mild climate, the beauty of the landscape and that now they see rather than the quality of life is deteriorating dramatically, and the young people who go out to seek his fortune, more and more often never to return. Coming up and I am certainly not the first to say, the phenomenon of di massa.
Ma vi è anche un altro aspetto intimamente connesso a quello che stiamo trattando e sul quale anche vi è ampia letteratura, quello dello sviluppo. Da sempre è risaputo che nelle zone ad alta presenza criminale non vi è sviluppo. Perché le imprese vanno ad investire dove hanno condizioni minime di sicurezza, dove non devono pagare il pizzo a nessuno, dove c’è possibilità di svolgere attività senza essere minacciati o vessati. Ebbene, nel Vallo di Lauro e credo un po’ in tutta la regione Campania, con qualche rara e labile eccezione, la tendenza è quella a disinvestire.
Tanto per comprendere qual’è la situazione, secondo una statistica pubblicata qualche mese fa e relativa all’ammontare del valore aggiunto prodotto per ciascun abitante, Lauro si trova agli ultimi posti nella classifica regionale. Ciò vuol dire che come attività produttive attive sul territorio siamo il fanalino di coda di tutta la regione. E se vogliamo far riferimento ad un altro elemento che sembrerebbe di più diretta ed immediata percezione basterà ricordare che è stato completato da oramai 3 anni il Piano per Insediamenti Produttivi ma nessuna impresa vi si è ancora insediata. Tanto che l’amministrazione comunale di Lauro ha concesso uno dei lotti per la realizzazione del centro per la protezione civile e forse farà sorgere un impianto fotovoltaico per la produzione dell’energia elettrica in altro lotto.
Ma cosa ci dice tutto ciò? Ci says that not enough effort one of the judiciary or the police or the administration, but there must be a synergistic effort. From the category of persons directly involved and most important, we citizens must learn to demand respect for the rules daily from acting as the round with helmets on scooters or not to leave waste on the street. It is here that trigger other deep thoughts on diversity, cultural diversity, at least in part have ancestral origins. And I mean the lack of a sense of belonging to a community, a sense of belonging to a state, the lack of public consciousness. And in fact it is easy to think that anyone who leaves the refusal the street, maybe the same road that runs every day and that leads to his home, has no culture of the public as it is as if to say: it is not my property, what I care about dirty? And 'the attitude of those who, having witnessed a crime, questioned say not, not my business.
E 'this culture that we must fight, build a sense of community and the state, realizing it is the only reference to naturally social beings as human beings. Of course it is not easy in a context where no one has ever exposed denouncing the lace or even more simply fulfilling its duty to testify in a trial of the Camorra.
Nonostante tutte queste difficoltà credo che però il momento può essere oggi quello giusto: non solo vi è un’attenzione importante dell’opinione pubblica e di importanti organi dello Stato, come dimostrano le operazioni di polizia ripetutamente portate a segno nella Regione e le vicende delle terre dei casalesi e se voglaimo anche la vicenda di Saviano l’autore del fortunato best-seller “Gomorra”. Ma più in particolare nella nostra provincia nel nostro Vallo, viviamo un momento che conosce pochi, anzi nessun precedente.
Quasi tutti i maggiori esponenti dei clan, tranne forse uno, sono assicurati alle patrie galere.
Quindi potrebbe essere il momento in cui -in assoluto- si deve avere meno paura. It 's the case, then, that those who have suffered extortion, threats, blackmail or otherwise is in a position to make a contribution to the work of state organs to do so. Knowing well that they need the presence and vigilance of citizens, in order to feel engaged in a synergistic effort for a single goal. So you can also reduce the chances of cases like that happen came to light in recent days, the subsidies granted under the law to aid victims of organized crime, but instead ended up in close relatives of the same boss. Maybe it was just a mistake, however, if you carry out more stringent checks and whether to make the most sensitive area officials are not exactly the zone is easier than the enforcement actions have the best outcome and not give rise to incidents such as those concerning his family Graziano. Normally it is not easy, even for the ferocity that use, to counter the Camorra: certainly can not do better agents and officials of the same area with which we sometimes have a family relationship or otherwise of contiguity.
Actually we all do it, knowing that there is no other decent life possible in a land with Camorra: we learned that not only limit your freedom, you deprive your will to live, but in reality they take away the life . And not just as happened, among many others, also found itself Nunziante Scibelli Goes on a road at the wrong time, but day after day, sowing the land with poison, to give an example.
I had already made an appeal to my fellow citizens a few months ago, authorities del Vallo, take advantage of the propitious moment of the counter of this recently by the state which is showing strong results. With some rare exceptions I have not received answers, but I renew the appeal: we must all stand up together to take back our land, our life. But we should be all set.
