Soon we will have a big panel war about the quarries, but of course not a Mario Francese. Far be it not for his tragic end, but for the writing to bring out the names of the real owners of the quarries.
Mario Francese, was a hardened Palermitan, born and raised in the center of Sicily. He was very fond of the history, culture, but also the problems of the island and his city. Regular, well-educated and humorous family man, he started his career as a journalist chronicler in the Italian news agency 'Ansa'. Then he reported for various national newspapers and with the insistence of a friend he also worked in the press office of the municipality of Palermo.
But he got bored quickly, he returned to journalism. In the newspaper, Giornale di Sicilia, a prestigious media with enough integrity not only in the island of Italy, but also in Europe, for its professionalism and intellectual courage, especially in relation to a topic that has become a world legend for Sicily; The Mafia.
Mario Franceze led a fantastic group of judicial chronicle reporters in the Palermo newspaper, as they call it there, and in Albania, we call it the "black chronicle". In the newsroom, there was also his son, a reporter, who, in order to overcome his father's shadow, went earlier and left later.
Mario was one of the legends of Italian journalism, as he did not treat the mafia like the panelists-chroniclers of our televisions, or like the NPOs of the seminars. To put it more clearly, he was the first and only journalist to interview one of the best teachers of a private Catholic school in Sicily. Her name is Antonietta Bagarella, whose name was Ninneta. No less and no more but the wife of Toto Riina. At the time, Aunt Ninneta's husband was the right-hand man of the head of the Corleone clan of the Sicilian Cosa Nostra, Dr. Luciano Leggio.
Precisely the interview with the wife of the man who turned into one of the most powerful bosses of the world's organized crime, showed the smell and professionalism of Mario who wanted to show who were the people who had so much power and were feared by everyone.
But Mario wrote many stories about the Sicilian mafia, most of them court chronicles, prosecution investigations, but also their economic life. Even though he had the "courage" to talk to Ninetta, for whom Totto Riina was jealous, nothing happened to Mario, even when he wrote about the stories of the soldiers killed by the Corleone boss. Everything happened in January 1979, when Mario French dared to write about a quarry near Palermo. The quarry that supplied construction materials to almost all the companies that were building an entire city, demolishing the ancient villas and gardens of the magical island city. Mario wrote that the quarry was owned by the Riina family from Corleone.
And Toto, who had just been promoted as the President of the Commission of Cosa Nostra, in other words the king of the Sicilian mafia, sent Leoluca Bagarella, the brother of his wife, Ninetta, down to Mario Francese's house. who, on January 26, 1979, emptied a magazine over the body of the journalist who was entering his palace in the center of Palermo. Maybe he vented his anger towards his sister who had teleported him years ago in the newspaper. But at that time he was not touched at the seder, but only became dry when he cursed the quarry.
Which are one of the most identifying tools of the symbiosis between politics and organized crime, or as it is called collar crime.
Mario Franceze, was killed according to the investigations that were done later and there are court proceedings for this, because he was extracting the links of the quarry with the materials of the people who gave the permits and licenses. That were the politicians.
E meqë ra fjala për politikanët, pra në Shqipëri, a kanë gurore politikanët? Prej disa vitesh ka shkrime pa fund në Shqipëri që gurore të granilit, gurit dekorativ, por mbi të gjitha materialeve kryesore për çimento e beton, janë nën kontrollin e politikanëve të lartë. Janë përmendur shumë emra, nga të gjitha pjesët e politikës, por mbi të gjitha një super politikan që ka qenë edhe kryeministër, edhe kryetar Parlamenti edhe President i Republikës. Natyrisht edhe të tjerë: ministra deputetë, por edhe drejtues vendor e kryetarë bashkish. Thjesht në Shqipëri nuk ka një Mario Francese, që të rrëfejë me detaje se kush janë pronarët e vërtetë të gurores. Por ka nga ata që pronarët e vërtetë paguajnë për të folur për pronaret e guroreve të vogla. Nga ata që janë rivalë e kundërshtarë.
In Albania, the big political clash happened mostly over the quarries. Governments have been overthrown on accusations of quarries, there are media owners who have quarries, etc., etc. Soon we will have a big panel war about the quarries, but of course not a Mario Francese. Far be it not for his tragic end, but for the writing to bring out the names of the real owners of the quarries. Of course, not just in Krujë, where the deputies almost always came from the lobby of quarries, cement or Gëlqera. One even who has not been in power for years, but they say that he has a large room with the keys to the houses that he took as clearing for the concrete, granite and lime that he gave for buildings.
