We commemorate today the 40th anniversary of the martyrdom of Jan Palach, hero of Czechoslovakia was the victim of the Soviets who came to Prague to quell the riots of freedom.
Let's see what he says of the online encyclopedia most famous, WIKIPEDIA
Member of the Faculty of Philosophy, Charles University, Prague, watched with interest the season reform in his country, known as Prague Spring. Within a few months, however, this experience was suppressed militarily by the troops of the Soviet Union and other countries that are Parties to the Warsaw Pact [1].
In the late afternoon of January 16, 1969 Jan Palach went to Wenceslas Square in central Prague, and stood at the foot of the staircase of the National Museum. He sprinkled the body with gasoline and set fire with a lighter. He remained lucid during the three days of agony. Physicians said he had modeled the Buddhists in Vietnam [2]. At his funeral, January 25, attended by 600,000 people from across the country.
Jan Palach decided not to burn his notes and his articles (which accounted for his thoughts and ideals), which was held in a shoulder bag too far from the flames. Among the statements found in his notebooks, this stands out:
"Because our people are on the verge of despair and resignation, we decided to express our protest and shake the conscience of the people. Our group is made up of volunteers, ready to blow for our cause. Since I had the privilege of extracting the number 1, it is my right to write the first letter and be the first Human Torch. We demand the abolition of censorship and prohibition of Zpravy [3]. If our demands are not fulfilled within five days, January 21, 1969, and if our people will not give sufficient support to those requests, with an unlimited general strike and a new torch s'infiammerà "This is a real
HERO!
Now back to things far less worthy, and our house.
is what bring us back our loyal readers.
Via de Mattias, Via VALLESANTA, what they have in common? There are barricades! But unfortunately there is no SPRING CAPRANICA in progress, are not like those barricades of Prague, are the usual long-standing work in progress which frustrate the public. A Via De Mattias is more than a month forse due che la situazione è praticamente ferma. Non ne possono più, sono tutti esasperati. Via Vallesanti invece è proprio chiusa su un tratto, quello da angolo Via Matteotti a Via Bachelet. Ci sia qualche residuato della seconda guerra mondiale? Crollo imminente? Prospezioni geologiche alla ricerca di metano o petrolio? Fattosta che due importanti vie capranichesi sono chiuse, senza apparente motivo. Forse è un evento profetico... magari questo vuol dire che per questa MAGNOranza proprio non c'è più VIA d'uscita...
