Mafia in Molise

Molise is par excellence the home of peace and tranquility of the boot, is an anonymous region, comparable to the Valle d'Aosta, were it not for the fact that it is right in the heart of Italy, a few kilometers from the capital. Molise is a reality that often ends up on the front pages of newspapers or on the lips of the great journalists of national reputation, the Molise, a little over 300 000 (a suburb of Rome!) And make no noise, except for a few spasmodic episode, they prefer to live scattered in the green mountains by building an impenetrable wall around almost alien to us from the rest of the world. Yet the Molise contacts with the world has too many and impenetrable wall that was exceeded even by those who, according to the most erudite fellow citizens, our region has nothing to do.
will be the proximity to the province of Caserta, is that we have our roots in the South of the boot, but in California they talk, or rather whispers, it is rumored from time to time, the word mafia. It happens more often to read the local newspapers of arrests of men affiliated with the Camorra, like Armando Compass, a member of the Moccia clan, Santa Maria del Molise, and seizures of property and businesses. It 'a few days ago the news of the kidnapping, in Isernia, a fictitious company, headed to an entrepreneur from Caserta, John Sciacca, State of a notorious Camorra clan, accredited dealer of drugs internationally. The company in the Molise territory had to be just one of the strongholds of the powerful empire of criminality and provide the police engaged in operations, "this is only the most recent transactions that have brought to light the attempts by the mafia to infiltrate the territory Molise.
The investigation reports on organized crime and mafia ever mentioning our region as a territory no longer "virgin", where they took root and Camorra clan in Puglia, and the Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry of 2003 (we are talking about almost a decade ago!) also speaks of criminals due Bellocco Rosarno thigh, one of the most powerful families in the Calabrian 'Ndrangheta.
this news should not surprise us after the arrests of hundreds flocked to the hot weather in northern Italy, after the words of Giulio Cavalli, voice denouncing the presence of the mafia for years in the North. The roots of organized crime have crept in a stable manner throughout the peninsula, believed to be truly immune from criminal infiltration of our neighbors?
Personally I have always lived the Mafia as a personal problem, regardless of the infiltration on my land, because, taking away men like Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino, by slaughter of innocents, creeping into the institutions, slowly sucking away the freedom of an entire people, hit me personally. Although in my State there was not even the shadow of mafia, I'd feel compelled to fight the Mafia, because it is the worst evils of our country and, as Italian citizens, we have a moral duty not to remain indifferent. My neighbors, my friends do not think like me. Speaking of my intention to make the anti-Mafia magistrate with one of them, I was answering: "What do you care? It's not your problem, there are others who think." The mafia, in the popular imagination of the people, has always been "over there" in a different reality, a world in which there belongs. Yet it landed in our house, and when people make it really counts will be too late. We must wake up! We must talk about the cancer that is also clinging to this Region forums, events, conferences, public meetings, but, especially in schools, not only because, as the journalist Molise, Paolo De Chiara, which campaigns to inform much Molise to the danger they run, "the happy island no longer exists", but also to prevent young people, the future generation of this region and the entire country can be sucked into a day that mountain of shit that is the Mafia.
