I follow - not superficial - Litfiba since 1995 now, but I had never seriously considered as a "political group" and, in all honesty, I truly believe that it is not. But in a country like Italy, nowadays, to say freely what you think and report The terrible truth is considered a "subversive act" and abject propaganda.
But let's get the facts. August 13, concert at Litfiba Collesano (Palermo):
Pelù began by greeting the "people of Trinacria" then giving the welcome at the concert for free spirits , who believes that we broke the Dell'Utri c. .. ( censorship in the Republic is tenderly ed video. ), just to make things clear now. " He went on "for those who are against the means of mass distraction" ending with "Welcome to the free state of Litfiba" to make room to music.
Then, during the evening, and marched on stage a mock coffin with the inscription "Gelli" Pelù has "commemorated" the "death of P2:" Taking part in his suffering the Sicilian Mafia, the Calabrian 'Ndrangheta, the Neapolitan Camorra , your fellow countryman Marcello Dell'Utri, and of course papi-Silvio Berlusconi. The P2 is dead. Long live the P3! Pelù said.
"Litfiba I have insulted the intelligence of young Sicilians, at least those, and they are just so many, who know how to listen to good music without being distracted by dreary populist and demagogic messages. To paraphrase one of their songs, I invite them to non-food ignorance that kills more than hunger. " These were the words of ' Councillor for Culture and Youth of the Province of Palermo, Eusebio Dali, 34, leader of the PDL-Micciché of Sicily, who evidently did not like the performance of the band in the one on Sicily. The commissioner, who was in the audience, in particular Pelù accused of having "launched invectives against the prime minister, Silvio Berlusconi, accusing him and his closest collaborators of collusion with the Mafia, denigrating the Sicilian people."
Sicilian fans instead have already gone live tracks and concert footage, including the phrases "indicted" (but there are similar references in other video from the other tour dates), commenting enthusiasm the performance of Litfiba. Different reaction Dali councilor who has given to news agencies his disappointment. "Renzulli and Pelù - writes Dali - came to Sicily to make political propaganda, with the usual presumption of a guardian who believes in absolute truths and therefore able to rail against everything and everyone, without any inhibitions. L ' be applauded every time he opens his mouth does not justify the violent verbal excesses that create hatred and division. A Collesano I was there and did not seem to be a concert, but a process of square table of contents, to a public lynching : It was disconcerting to see the repeated barbs Pelù disheartening see so many young people leave to incorporate in a culture of anti passively, without meaning or construct ".
The commissioner does not just criticize, but asks that groups like Litfiba not performed in most island. " Invitation the innocent Mayor Wide - Dali writes, referring to the City of Campofelice who sponsored the evening - and all the leading citizens of Sicily not to host more artists whose sole purpose the pontificate, preach and do political battle, using the most powerful weapon is the music and its ability to penetrate the sensitive young man, train or plagiarism as appropriate. "Finally, he concludes, addressing the Litfiba invited "to apologize to Sicily, the Sicilians who are honest people and the vast majority free to do only and just music, leaving aside the vulgar propaganda, which touches upon themes and concepts that disregard." And as a
capomandria never attacks without a herd in tow, here comes even the wrath of the youth of the area of \u200b\u200bPDL Micciché , attacking the band Litfiba Tuscan asking for an official apology and even a refund of the ticket for the spectators who attended the show on 13 August. Here is the statement
Constance Castle, a young club coordinator of the PDL-Sicily: "The freedom of expression when it becomes free reign of feelings more squalid, offensive and hate speech can not be defended at all costs but you need to leave the criticism and blame. And we are deeply touched by the absolute lack of respect for Litfiba against those Sicilians who also loving their music and their songs do not tolerate these behaviors of verbal violence. "
From here the band's request to refund the ticket:" Litfiba I have turned the only concert in a Sicilian speech - continues Castle - a real hate speech and failed morally to their contractual obligations with the public. We urge once again apologized to the people of Sicily and the reimbursement of the ticket for all young people who have Following the concert Collesano and have not liked the Pelù invective against all odds. We will promote this initiative and we will go forward as long as our freedom to criticize is protected like the freedom of their offense. "
There is to be recorded, compared with delusions such as these, the solidarity expressed by Litfiba to various political and social , and obviously from the fans and anyone who has a minimum of wits in the head. Even the President of the Province of Palermo John Forward (UDC) has apologized to the Florentine group. But as with any cake can miss his proverbial icing here replication in Gianfranco Micciche person, old faithful Marcello Dell'Utri (which, remember - for the more forgetful - was recently sentenced on appeal to seven years imprisonment for complicity with the Mafia) who counts among his acolytes own Dali. "It is I who beg your pardon. I apologize to the people, for a President of the Province that instead of supporting the courage of his Deputy, or at least sit silent and accept that sometimes the press can finirci someone other than him, asks for apology who has grossly offended the Sicilians, the integrity of the team more than any other policy that has allowed him to sit in that chair, but also the sacredness of the Catholic Church and its supreme leader, that he, as a self-proclaimed devout Catholic, would defend with his teeth. "Micciche said:" If your Avanti is animated by a sense of apology, is more consistent with himself to ask her to Eusebio Dali, apologize to our political component, massacred by that stage, and apologize to the Catholic world, which has always claimed to be an active part. "
MALA TEMPORA CURRUNT ...
