What March 21
Since 1995, every March 21 we celebrate Memorial Day and the commitment to remember the innocent victims of all mafias. On 21 March, the first day of spring, is the symbol of hope that is renewed and is also an opportunity to meet with the families of the victims in Liberia have found the strength to rise from their tragedy, mourning for a search for true justice and deep, transforming the pain into a practical tool, not violent, commitment and action for peace.
19 to 21 March 2011 in Basilicata: why is in the names
An ancient legend that a few thousand years ago through migrant people the south of our country is to walk the vast area of \u200b\u200bland that stretched between the Tyrrhenian and Ionian Sea, which today includes part of the Cilento, Irpinia, high Calabria to the Gulf of Taranto. A land of forests, rivers and mountains, but that struck the people of this land because they saw the sun come up, stopped, then, and called Lucania, which means "land of light".
This is not the only meaning of Lucania, but that's what we like best: it offers hope, because it refers to the responsibility and because, in a sense, explains why on 21 March this year in Basilicata. To tell us once again that the victims Mafia are the common heritage of the memory of the whole country and therefore the people of Lucania, but because this region, always having the edge of a South despite being attacked by the mafia geographically located in the heart of the South, is a kind of boundary between the cultural face of the classic mafia and the face that is evolving in the era of globalization of crime considered to be the ballast guilty of a South that does not take off economically, and that increasingly acts as the overall cultural issue, one that shoots and seeds death and the mafia that calls itself but rather has distanced itself from the hand and violent criminal. A gray area, in short, that the fact of never being easily definable risk of being invisible, or worse, nonexistent, as is the case, in fact, the Basilicata region in which recent history has been marked by a series of events that have catapulted this region on the stage made a crime of murder, missing, perverse twists and hidden powers.
meet again March 21 in Basilicata, therefore, to tell us once again that the contrast to the mafia and all their complexity means going beyond the cliches, it means down into the depths of the events, through appearances, going beyond the boundaries of phrases, and that there are lands - just like this - that help us to understand that the anti-mafia efforts even before the complaint of criminal organizations is announcing a new way of participation in the life of the country is committed, through the shared responsibility of all and each, in the building of cultural models in contrast to the logical patronage and backroom those terms that are fertile ground for a mafia system even before the same clan.
