The former BR presents the book in a municipal hall in Milan. The precedents: parchment to Curcio, the course with Faranda.
There is heavy air. And bad teachers return to the classroom or take undeserved pulpits. So in Milan, in a public hall in a difficult neighborhood like Bruzzano, as part of a cycle of literary meetings, former Red Brigade member Barbara Balzerani was called to present her book, which he welded – It is true – his debt to justice, but he continues to pontificate in an unbearable way, and painful for the victims of terrorism.
And some people don't like it. «A former Red Brigade member of the commando who kidnapped Moro who presents her book in a municipal space, without contradiction – says Deborah Giovanati, councilor for the Municipal School 9 – This is a further slap in the face of the victims of the red terrorists. What else will he say?? He recently said that being a victim is a job. I'm truly outraged. The mayor must answer for the serious event that happened in my territory". Among the latest BR militants to be arrested, the "red pimpernel" was sentenced to several life sentences, also for having been part of the commando team that took Aldo Moro hostage in via Fani, where the DC leader's escort was massacred. Conditional release obtained, has never followed a path of dissociation or "repentance", even if he is not among the diehards. In the 2018, when they recurred 40 years after the Via Fani massacre, he first joked cynically («Who hosts me across the border for the glories of the fortieth anniversary?») then with genuine contempt he spoke of the "victims", complaining about their "monopoly". «There is a figure, the victim – he said – which has become a profession". «I'm not saying that they don't have the right to have their say, let alone. But it's not just you who has the right, It's not like only you can make history".
But the problem here is that they make history, while the victims, and family members, they are essentially silenced, or worse, a sort of mockery. «The statements of the terrorist Barbara Balzerani hurt me – Lorenzo Conti then said, son of the former mayor of Florence Lando, killed by the Red Brigades in 1986 – They chose to kill, my father did not want to be killed. I'm not a professional victim, I work in a bank. This is defamation aimed at discrediting us victims".
Ora, it is clear that in a rule of law, which tends towards "re-education", no one can be condemned to perpetual silence, and he also has the right to "oblivion" about the crimes committed, but here the only oblivion is that to which the victims are condemned, with their loved ones, while the executioners march on those facts, and they embroider on it, surrounded by a strange awe, while an aura of respect preserves their presumed "ideals". And so we don't understand the reality that should emerge regarding terrorism, that of an army of maniacs at the service of a criminal idea. Instead they (ex) red extremists who are pampered, questioned, sometimes gratified. And it's one thing if this is included in a process of "reconciliation", as happened in the meetings between Agnese Moro on the one hand and Franco Bonisoli, Adriana Faranda, on the other, It's one thing if, on the contrary, a privileged and exclusive pulpit is provided for historical reconstruction, as happened a month ago for a conference in Puglia with Alberto Franceschini or in December with the Anpi parchment to Renato Curcio, in the Foggia area or 3 years ago with Faranda herself who had to participate in a training course on restorative justice. And always in Milan, another "ex" stands out among the promoters of the angry protest against the Jewish Brigade and against anyone who shows sympathies for Israel: Francesco Emilio Giordano, who was part of the «Brigata XXVIII marzo» responsible for the murder of Walter Tobagi.
