Open letter to women and men of the Civil Protection For more than a week, I became the subject of two different court proceedings.
The first judges of the Court of Florence, who are investigating me to understand if they are corrupt, corrupting, a friend of corrupt and corrupting, and even if, through my role in this as a friend, acquaintance, fellow with people dishonest I do have some favorites in exchange for money, services, and sexual performance.
So much for the judiciary. No objection to the judiciary to investigate everyone and anyone, including myself, why is his work, Because the control of the judiciary is important in a democratic system, because it is right that those who commit crimes should be investigated, then where the accused, tried and convicted or acquitted. I discuss, however, as all those who have found themselves in a situation in which I am now on the substantial silence that seems general agreement that covers the spread of cards, records, documents obtained by prosecutors for trial, of course, still to be verified, that comes to the press and media.
On this front there is the second of which are subject to legal action. For days, the newspaper proprietor does not suspect me, but certainties, publish interceptions using them not as proof but as circumstantial evidence of transgressions, in fact, giving an overall image of the network of corrupt and corrupting, part of which would, maybe not the protagonist, but definitely part. So
on page 1 is dominated by a photograph of me and beside it is told of guys who laugh with each other on the phone on the disaster in Abruzzo for a fact that will give them business opportunities. On another page, another photo accompanying my articles when it comes to so-and-so, of their calls, their business, their behaviors that portray them as yet another round of crafty criminals.
All this happens while the judiciary is still simply investigating to see if there are elements to turn the suspects into evidence. The
second prosecution is called summary justice, it's called mud thrown in the fan blades, is called spreading rumors, interpretations, accusations, pseudocertezze, and stigmata of criminals precondanne him who has no other means to defend their own history, its claim innocence, the useless appeal to the truth. In the process media, truth is the last thing that's interesting, we seek excitement, prudery, news delicious on the defects, weaknesses, lightness, but above all you try and you fail, throwing mud, disfiguring the profile of each person hit by This storm caused on purpose. The innocent and the guilty become unrecognizable under a mask bedraggled, and accuses becomes the triumphant verdict: "They're all the same dirty."
I've tried, these days, the anguish, the sense of injustice, devastation, loss of total and without exception the many people we rescue after their homes were flooded by rivers of mud. You look around and see that everything in your life is hidden, covered with a patina greasy and smelly. If you move from there, met the eyes of compassion for the disaster, disappointment for your filthy presence, a shiver of distinction, diversity satisfied that separates the viewer from those affected.
So, to have lived too many times, that those who are victims of a disaster - at other times I would have said "natural or" man ", and you know the distinction, but now I say action with destructive intent was premeditated and deliberate - as it first needs to be removed from the mud, then to be helped to dispose of it, then helped to clean what you can clean up and dispose of what has been ruined so

irrecoverable. After start the path to "return to normality", which as I have always said never return, because at first you do not ever go back, but a difficult and uncertain journey toward a new and different normal, which will need to try and avoid the trap of imagining that time, going forward, can do the miracle to come back.
The process will begin when the magistrates of the judiciary are willing and have the elements to decide. Against them, pending their questions and their conclusions, I have no problem spending time to collect the many items that can easily prove my foreignness to the facts. The process
media, operated outside of any rule of law, except that so far obtained by the journalists and demanded to be free to give judgments - if not of guilt, of moral unworthiness, more severe - you can not face illusion elements of truth that is enough to stop the mud. The damage there was because I was the subject of rumors, gossip, rumors, suspicions, unproven and unsubstantiated. "Slander is a breeze if ...": has come to be an air of truth about this opera gossip and opinion on the summary issued on the morality and dignity of a person's story too long to find me unprepared.
Like a flood, I am to suffer pain, regrets, harrowing memories and to measure with the mind a simple fact that the abyss has cut between my normal life and these days of public ridicule, they have been authorized anyone to pronounce on me and my work.
In addition, the mud into the fan and those who dry feed this, without affecting any care not only the victim but also all the people that make up the network of relationships of everyone's life, his wife, children, relatives and friends.
In my case, the thousands of people working in the Italian Civil Protection, especially those who are committed to volunteers inevitably realize that a few sketches of this stinking storm arrives on their uniforms.
As things stand, I can not tell you that my anger, my pain, my suffering this way to engulf all in the name of an alleged right to see clearly, to find the culprits and lynch, disgraced to remove them.
This is the meaning of the operation against me, this is the cause of discomfort and pain that you live.
"Bertolaso, our Head, a piece of shit like this? As we did not realize, how did we commit all our energies without knowing that it contained only in a play where other well-protected and pampered, they were the real protagonists of a distorted system is designed specifically to give benefits to those who just do not deserve them. " These are thoughts that I consider possible and even legitimate by those who still believe that truth is what is being said on television.
If I were accused of a crime precise, detailed, everything would be easier. In this vagueness, this approach in my face to anyone potentially committed crimes, or we have tried in this phone call claiming that a piece of recorded evidence and is proof of things never happened, as my sex adventures with a physiotherapist who simply gave relief to my neck with great professionalism or my fiery meetings close with a Brazilian lady that I never had the opportunity to have arms, do not know how to avoid the storm closes at least, only about who is suspected to be part of it, without going to a whole system that has as the only fault to be efficient, capable, ready, willing and generous as anyone else in the world.

I feel a responsibility for having dragged into a incredible story of doom and gloom.
This is the situation. What next?
With a return to normal for me and all of us, it's better than before.
I can accept everything, but he was right not to be lynched for those who like to throw mud. If the government asks me to leave my duties, my bag is packed as usual. But unless the government asks me, I stay in my place, working to clean up the mud first to my person, my home, my friends and my world, I never muddy and I never betrayed.
I bet my life on service to my country, I bet my years at the head of the National Service as a bond of trust between us and the public, I always honored.
I will fight for the truth, even if nobody cares, except me, my family and many of you.
errors, lack of control, people who have worked with us so dishonest, I consider myself an injured party, or co-defendant not guilty, as I think right now responsible for any possible errors and omissions. Errors and omissions that, if there were, are errors and omissions by one who has never been and never wanted to be Superman, and errors are, until proven otherwise, not crimes, conspiracy, intentional acts and intended.
Rest in my place, hoping to have soon, soon, yesterday, the chance to start over from the real priorities mine and your work. Today I should be in Calabria, on the front of the landslide, not in Parliament to discuss a forgery, as the privatization of Civil Defense, which I never wanted and proposed. The Government decided the reinstatement of giving us permission to create a service company, to act in a completely secure and guaranteed in the management of large orders, once and for all to avoid having to put together teams not fully verified in the reliability of components, giving the Civil Defence an operational tool in addition, as already happens in many Italian regions. Nobody has played his clothes in defense of democracy when the Emilia Romagna has created a tool quite similar to that which I proposed to create.
Nothing to do and explain, I was accused of selling to the private civil defense. Shame on those who gave it good for dancing, feeling for the most honored and proud to be a leader of a "democratic battle" a total fabrication. There are other problems of democracy, beginning with the lack of accountability of many who now thundering against me for the big events and up to yesterday were out of my door to ask for my support for this great event or state that initiative.
Just mud. I have some experience in emergency management, I know that after a shock there will be others, I know that after casting mud, if the weather does not change, does not mean it's over. But I know what it means to secure, I know the value of what I did with you, I know what it means to a media storm, know what it is aiming to conduct a political hit for Gaius Sempronius. For decades, not months, to assume positions of public responsibility. Do not have a boyfriend no one - maybe this is my principal fault - nor do I choose my "close friends" with the criteria of the alleged masters of journalism, acknowledged yesterday that at least in part, without giving my reasons to condemn me for my visits of which they know nothing and nothing interesting to know. Today from the same source I learn the skills of the Presidency of the Republic, to me obviously so far unknown, adding to the off-key chorus of those who demand my resignation.

Resignation I gave them, were rejected. I made it clear who considered eligible to request at any time declare in advance to recur immediately available. With this I deny anyone else the pleasure of being taken into account by me on this subject, which does not concern me because it became a matter of relations between parties in the election campaign. I do not deal with these issues, as long as the mud flow has to deal with this as soon as I can have the breath should come back agenda of my commitments, which have never been or are in the alcoves of those who have chosen an easy life but around Italy on the side of those who know what the Civil Defence and practice every day.
If they wanted to take away the honor and dignity, know that these are personal resources that each of us is built with life choices made by long-standing and reconfirmed every day. My dignity, my honor is not paper, not images, not rumors. The dirty mud, the spoils, not clear and does not corrode.
I hope that I have met many of you understand well what I'm saying, I feel the truth deep down, because you have to be like the sea, in these cases, devastated by the storm on the surface calm and still, as always, a few feet below.
If, in returning to normal, the best of yesterday we must have as its purpose, I will be allowed to take a step back and give way, finally, to my draft year-end leave in other hands the helm of the Civil Defense to go board, I will gladly. But provided that there are times of peace and not an emergency, even the media, which involves the good name of the entire Civil Protection. I pretend to leave shaking hands with each one, looking into his eyes. No one asks me to run away, I will not.
I make my own the suffering of all those who feel unfairly affected for this frenzied attack and dreary as I'm concerned and, from this scaffold that I did not choose nor deserved, I greet you with all my love and my loyalty to the covenant of respect and honor that has enabled us to achieve something good, very good, too good not to provoke storms of mud.
up the good work.
