Six former detainees stabilized by the Region, with a background in Cosa Nostra, offered to guard the masterpieces, including works by Antonello da Messina, preserved in the Regional Gallery of Palazzo Abatellis, in Palermo. A write is the English newspaper El Pais and is now controversial, with the governor Raffaele Lombardo replied: "Outrageous deal with inaccuracy and lack of information a subject as delicate as the reintegration into employment of certain individuals who are particularly disadvantaged."
The full page article, titled "Yesterday killers, today guards at the museum," reveals that the six former detainees covered by the plan on the reintegration of the Region social and work integration of persons who have paid their account with the law. Behind, however, ex-prisoners would not have been convicted of minor offenses, but for the Mafia. Now their task would be to guard the tunnel. "The pool of workers mentioned by the newspaper - says Lombardo - has never been selected by the Region, but it is an ancient basin of precariousness of the City of Palermo, whose genesis is the result of the political will of former Mayor Leoluca Orlando.
But then he adds that "for sure, will be made all the necessary checks on that segment of the workforce." A Lombardo does not go down that "the Abatellis journalist talks about the regional museum as a hotbed of mafia suggesting that our art treasures, such as the Annunciation, are assigned to former Mafia henchmen, it is absurd that a reconstruction can not find any basis in reality and not merely that damage the image free of Sicily in the eyes of the world. "
for the Regional Councillor of Culture, Sebastian Missineo, "the path of law initiated by the region can not be challenged by a simplistic article published by a newspaper as authoritative." "Sicily is a land where you can start a new life - he adds - no cultural racism, even if you made a mistake but now denies criminal organizations. "
For the director of Palazzo Abatellis, John Cassian, "workers who were assigned to the museum earnestly fulfill their duties and there was no problem in entrusting the work".
"a cause for surprise that this attack comes just from Spain - says Joachim Lavanco, professor of psychology at the University of Palermo and president of the non-profit organization that brings together Trinacria temporary workers - precisely because the Zapatero government has introduced important initiatives to be shared and reintegration of former detainees. " For Lavanco "we must stop with the hypocrisy and we must determine whether or not it is right to proceed with the reintegration of those who did wrong and paid the bill with the law. "
"Having started to work to establish these temporary - he concluded - is a practical way to make anti-Mafia with a capital" because doing so will deprive those who have gone to the blackmail of organized crime. " Posted January in12
