The Carabinieri meet the students of the Bagheria Lyceum

‘Correct, not corrupt. How the voice of young people kills the mafia (not only in summer) ‘. This is the title of the weekly program of meetings, called “The Fridays of legality”, which saw all the fourth and fifth classes of the “D’Alessandro” high school engaged in the first quarter, from October to February. Bagheria (Palermo) with the Carabinieri of the local Company. The military dealt with a plurality of themes, starting “with the concrete distinctions between the main criminal organizations present in Italy, the mafia, ‘Ndrangheta, camorra and sacra coronaunita, and then focusing especially on the common aspects: social consensus and distortion of reality “. The first “as a factor of control of the territory by mafia-type associations, often perceived by the community as a collateral and parallel form to the state, although one remains bound for life, renouncing one’s freedom, in case someone turns to them for” requests “for help and favors”. “The distortion of reality, on the other hand, constitutes a glue within the association, relying on retrograde and deformed negative values: therefore the fear and fear of the people will become” respect “; the attacks, extortions and gambling will be understood as” ordinary administration of justice “, while prison, even among the youngest, become” precious points to collect for one’s delinquent curriculum “- say the Carabinieri – The further issue addressed by the Carabinieri was that of corruption, understood as an exchange and sale of one’s public function in exchange for a consideration: in a compromised environment, in fact, nothing intact and pure will hesitate anymore. This is why legality, which by definition constitutes comparison, research, exchange of opinions and contamination, is precisely the ‘antithesis of a corruptive system and must find fertile ground starting from the youngest, who, if one day they will have the strength to refuse a recommendation for a competition, trusting rather in their studies and a sense of duty, will make our reality healthier “. In this path” the collaboration and availability shown by the Dean, Angela Troja, and by the contact person for the project was decisive of legality, Professor Musotto. As a continuation of the precious collaboration started between the Arma and the School, further “talks” have already been planned in the second quarter on current and delicate issues of bullying and gender violence “.
