BUSTO ARSIZIO, 29 OCT - "Hate is a prison without bars. I managed to get out of it through prayer". It is the message of Salvatore Insenga, cousin of judge Rosario Livatino, killed by the mafia in 1990, who over time has developed the choice to forgive those responsible for the murder.
Insenga met this morning in Busto Arsizio (Varese) Salvatore Calafato and Paolo Amico, sentenced to life imprisonment because they were believed to be the perpetrators of the Livatino murder, as part of a process of restorative justice even if "more than restorative justice, it should be called peacemaking justice", said Insenga.
"I didn't know Livatino. Seeing the heartbreak of my parents, the guilty conscience I had brought me this far. From the seed of Livatino my conversion was born", says Calafato, recognizing the gravity of his actions and the pain caused. "I took the life of a state man, I offended the judiciary and I caused pain to the families. Everything I did was wrong," he added.
Friend remembers having wanted to ask for forgiveness after having listened to the words of the magistrate's parents but was unable to do so at the time, still conditioned by the mafia and silence mentality.
Today he defines Livatino, once considered an enemy, a spiritual reference: "No person is lost forever", he states, thanking Insenga and asking him again for forgiveness.
Insenga talks about the pain and anger he experienced after the assassination, when he was twenty, and the long journey supported by faith. "Forgiveness has freed me and I hope it can free you too", he says, hoping for a prayer meeting in the church of Santa Chiara, in Canicattì. “A gunshot cannot be the last word,” he concluded.
