Statement-Announcement of Silvano from Bussoleno

TO THE CIVIL SOCIETY, TO THE ANARCHIC COMRADES, TO THE GREENS, REDS, BLACKS, TO THOSE WHO UNDERSTOOD EVERYTHING OR NOTHING, TO THOSE WHO ARE NOT INTERESTED AT ALL INWHAT IS HAPPENING AROUND THEM, TO EVERYONE WHO IS AWARE OF CHANGING THE HISTORY COURSE 

NOVARA, 5TH MAY 1998 

The undersigned, Silvano is Son of Bruno, who was a 15 year-old partisan order-taker (communist partisans who fought in North Italy in 1943-1945 against the nazi-fascist Peoole of Salo Republic in Balmafol - Combe - Caserme Sevine area. He never lined up with communists, socialists or other political parties. HE WAS NOT AN ANARCHIST, EITHER. He never gave back his fire-arms he used in the partisan guerrilla and he always kept them to defend himself and his family from any assailant - German, fascist or communist people. In 1981 he was put in prison just because he was guilty of possessing these fire-arms, and in 1983 he died in hospital owing to bad medical treatments. I confirm and point out to be anarchist, rebel and individualist This statement only concerns myself and not my two comrades Soledad and Edoardo, who were accused and imprisoned for the same crimes I was charged with. I would like to remind you that the crimes we are charged with include subversive association, assaults against public buildings using explosives, stealing and receiving. I point out that I am incompatible with any way of life you have. With the salary work, with authority and ownership (which always comes from exploitation). I am against the TAV project in ITALY, FRANCE or GERMANY or elsewhere. I am against tourism in the snowfields of Val di Susa or Valle dAosta, as well as on the Cancun beaches in Mexico or in the CLUB MED villages, wherever they are located. I am against any use of nuclear power as well as exagerate use of the car. I am contrary and incompatible to any form of authority, from the judge who discharges or charges with a crime according to his whim, to the policeman doing his job, the head foreman and the schoolteacher.

In your civil, democratic society, founded on an hypocritical peace I cannot see a possible free space for me to live. I can see no place for dialogue with your majority that has meanly turned his/her back on the ground for the sake of that shame which justifies every slaughter: THE PROGRESS !! 

I refuse any involvement in the assaults committed in Val Susa or other places, I deny to militate in a group called GREY WOLVES (LUPI GRIGI) (that has claimed some assaults in Val Susa and that has nothing to do with the Turkish GREY WOLVES who signed the attempt on Pope Johannes Paul II)

The idea to militate in an organisation does not comply with the principles of the anarchism. 

I end this short statement as part of my duty to my comrades who showed me their solidarity. 

I do not want to justify my position towards the so-called civil society that accuses me of eco-terrorism. 

I do not recognise any power and authority to judge my way of living. 

I shall take note of the sentence passed against me, which shall be only executed owing to a greater numeric and technical force. 

Everyone may think and do what he/she wants. Those who want it can stay by me and those who do not feel up to doing it can drive me away as if I were a demon coming out from who knows which hell of society!!
