April 25, the League distances itself from La Russa. Salvini: “I celebrate the liberation of the country”. Zaia: “Founding party, enough with timeless divisions”

I know what I will do on April 25th, «I will celebrate the liberation of our country, I will spend some time with the family and I will work as I will work on May 1st, because the Italians pay us to do it». So the deputy premier and secretary of the League Matthew Salvini, arriving at the Salone del Mobile, replies to those who asked what the president of the Senate Ignazio La Russa should do after the controversy sparked by his declaration on the fact that anti-fascism is not in the Constitution. Salvini does not enter into the controversy and when asked if “Do you agree that there is no anti-fascism in the Italian Constitution”, he replies with a curt “I am the minister of public works, I deal with the future not with comments, which fill the newspaper. They don’t pay me to comment.”

«April 25th is a founding feast. I would like it to become a celebration of the future as well». To echo Salvini, in an interview with Corriere della Sera, the president of the Veneto region, Luca Zaia. For the Northern League, the date must become «the celebration of the fight against intolerance, racism, violence and lack of freedom. Which are everyone’s values, not right or left. And April 25th is as important today as it was yesterday».

“April 25 is the day of freedom, it is everyone’s day,” said the foreign minister Antonio Tajani anticipating that he will be «at the Fosse ardeatine to bring a crown in the name of the government». Tajani then said he recognized himself “in the words spoken by Silvio Berlusconi”
