There was a deafening, surreal silence in Marano after the arrest of the last great boss Antonio Orlando , for all Mazzolino, regent of the homonymous clan. While the local and national press was committed to spreading all the details of that clamorous arrest, to which the Dda Neapolitan and the Carabinieri of the Provincial Nucleo have worked for years, the rest of the city was silent.

Not a word from the new mayor Rodolfo Visconti and his administration, no applause to the weapon by the mayoral candidates who until a month ago declared for the law now and always, silence also from that more extreme left that he made the fight against the Camorra one of its flags. The only ones to underline the importance of yesterday's operation, which inflicted a very hard blow - yet another - to the Orlando clan, were the 5-star Andrea Caso, and the mayor of Quarto.

The same politicians who two days ago shouted with posts, videos, press releases, their initiatives No to violence against women, today on the violence of the Camorra had nothing to say. Only silence, so subtle and yet so tangible. Almost as if there had been a mourning or a tragedy. Why this silence? Fear, fear, not wanting to expose? No. Behind this silence there is probably only silence. Despite the dozens of arrests, the investigations on crime and politics - which often went hand in hand - the dismantling of entire criminal families, Marano still exceeds the desire, desire, even the hope of a ransom. We prefer silence, not exposing ourselves, turning away from the other side, looking only at our own interests, rather than taking a clear, clear position against the Camorra.

And as long as you Marano there will be this blanket of silence and silence, they will also be able to arrest all the Orlando, Polverino and Nuvoletta underworld in this city, but things will never change. And from tomorrow, while the Orlando clan will return to reorganize itself, we will return to talk about the holes in the asphalt, the waste, to pay the extortion, to greet respectfully the Guappo on duty. In silence
