VIDEO | The Italian Principals respond to Maria Falcone: “We are not moving the date of the competition, no offense to the memory of her brother”

The National President of Dirigentiscuola is clear about the controversy arising from the words of the sister of the anti-mafia magistrate killed by Cosa Nostra

ROME – There was also space to respond to the controversy over the next competition for school managers, this morning during the last day of the national congress of DirigentiScuola, the association that represents the Italian garrisons. Also present via video link was the Minister of Education and Merit Giuseppe Valditara.

MARIA FALCONE: “23 MAY IS SACRED”

It was the ‘master of the house’ Attilio Fratta, National President of School Directors, who expressed his opinion on the subject, a controversy born from the words of Maria Falcone, who had addressed an appeal to the ministry to move the date of the test, which coincides with the commemoration of the Capaci massacre. “May 23rd is sacred for the civil memory of Italy – said Maria Falcone – to say that only 2,400 Sicilian teachers out of a total of 24,000 will not be able to participate is an unforgivable frivolity: everyone must have the freedom to follow the own heart and emotions”.

PRESIDENT OF SCHOOL MANAGERS: “LET’S NOT CARE ABOUT CRITICISM FOR THE PURPOSE OF THEMSELVES”

Fratta’s reply was dry: “Two days before, four days before, someone stands up and creates controversy? Are we dishonoring Falcone by any chance? Absolutely not. We need the courage to say ‘let’s not care about the criticisms which are an end in themselves‘. When everything had already been organised, the general director (of the Regional School Office of Sicily, Giuseppe Pierro, ed.) called me and said: ‘Attilio, less so. bad. You have no idea of the effort to find the security guards, the schools, every little detail.”
