It finally came to an end the proceedings, which saw the defendants Lodi Christian journalist and former editor of the newspaper "Libero", Alessandro Sallusti, reported by the Pink Circus, after an offensive and defamatory article published by "Free" nell’agosto del 2003. Nei giorni scorsi si è arrivati, con la mediazione dei legali (per il Circolo l’avvocato Stefano Zanini di Verona e Mirko Mazzali di Milano), ad un accordo, secondo il quale il quotidiano avrebbe versato 15.000 euro all’associazione veronese, la quale dal canto suo avrebbe ritirato la querela. All’accordo sono seguiti i fatti. Un risultato che il Circolo Pink, impegnato da venticinque anni sul territorio sia in attività di prevenzione, accoglienza e sostegno che in progetti culturali antidiscriminatori per l’accesso ai diritti di cittadinanza, ritiene importante dal punto di vista econom ico - per la sopravvivenza dell’associazione, che è autofinanziata - ma soprattutto dal punto di vista simbolico e politico. Nessuno potrà più permettersi di accostare impunemente le associazioni o le persone glbt all’odioso comportamento, che è anche un reato, denominato pedofilia.
La storia. La vicenda risale all’agosto del 2003, quando a Verona viene annunciata la visita del presidente Silvio Berlusconi, che avrebbe dovuto (tra l’altro) presenziare ad una rappresentazione areniana. Le manifestazioni di dissenso vennero organizzate e pubblicizzate per tempo, tanto che il presidente rinunciò all’opera in Arena, per timore del popolo dei fischietti. Venne comunque il giorno successivo, ad incontrare il cancelliere tedesco Schröeder e girò per la città, circondato by a crowd of journalists and cineoperatori.In occasion the President of the Circolo Gianni Pink Zardini received a call from a journalist, who introduced herself as Anna Benedini "La Voce di Mantova". The reporter asked an interview that she was granted, the training and to protest the arrival of Berlusconi, as the club Pink was among the promotori.Il next day, August 22, 2003 comes out, the newspaper "Libero", a long article by Christian Lodi, where the club Pink is called a "cauldron of lesbian, gay, transgender club but also with an eye to pedophiles. The inscription at the entrance of Via Scrimiari number 7 (made with the black marker, just a hundred yards from a nursery school) explains it well: 'Gays, homosexuals, pedophiles, lesbians know how to get by. Long live '. " The inscription, among other things reported incorrectly, made with a black marker on one of the steps leading to the entrance of the headquarters of the Club, was and remains an unknown hand. Since it is clear and evident, as is stressed several times in the magistrates court in Monza that have followed the procedure that this Article seeks not only offend the members and members of the Club but "generate - the quote is taken from the request of trial - in the reader, through the above phrases and the manner in which the article was written, the belief that the club Pink has pedophile tendencies and "special attention" to the pedophiles themselves, "the Club filed a lawsuit for defamation to the journalist and the then Director "free." The trial of two defendants, on April 9, 2008, began a series of hearings, culminating with the agreement referred to above, the withdrawal of the lawsuit and the payment of fixed sum of risarcimento.Dal hand, the editor of the newspaper of Mantua, to have contacted news journalist Anna Benedini, denied that there was no Anna Benedini among its reporters. He knew the other hand Ms Lodi as an occasional collaborator of the newspaper, which was not sent to Verona for "La Voce di Mantova" does not deal with facts outside the province.
