"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the Ustica tragedy – with more than 80 dead, almost 20 years of inquiries and more than 15 victims linked to this tragedy either during or after the inquiries – brings to mind three crucial points: the transparency, accountability and arrogance of a certain type of military power, but not only military power. In order to perhaps understand this tragedy better, I will also refer to the tragedy which occurred at Cermis in the Dolomites, where an American military plane cut through a cablecar cable. Twenty people plunged to the ground in the cablecar and died. In this case, we know what happened because the plane was seen, but up till now, even in the Cermis tragedy, it is still not at all clear where the blame lies.
Firstly, I wonder whether Italy, despite it being strategically important in Europe, is the best place to carry out military experiments, tests or even training. In my opinion, the Nevada desert is much more suitable because Italy has too many inhabitants. And it has to be said that the victims’ loved ones have the right to know why, how and when their children, parents or relatives died, and to this end, we join them in asking for help and complete transparency. The Governments of Italy, France, Great Britain and the United States as well as the Secretary-General of the UN must help us to shed light on these tragedies, especially the Ustica tragedy."@en1
