La Russa: “I will never throw the bust of the Duce away”

“The bust of the Duce? I’ll never throw it away, it’s a gift from my father”. Thus the president of the Senate, Ignatius LaRussaspeaking at a conference in Palazzo Giustiniani, in Rome, explained to journalists the presence of that statue which depicts Benito Mussolini and which the exponent of Fratelli d’Italia, ex MSI, jealously guards. Regardless of the words with which yesterday Roberto Benignion the Sanremo stage, condemned the Fascist period by celebrating the 75th anniversary of the Constitution in front of the president Sergio Mattarella (attached by Salvini), La Russa during today’s meeting in memory of Pinuccio Tatarella he wanted to confide in journalists, arousing immediate political controversy. “I’m painted – he said – like the one that has the bust of the Duce: it’s true I have it, my father left it to me, I don’t understand why I should throw it away and I will never throw it away. Just as I would keep that of Mao Zedong“.

Harsh words of the leader of the Third Pole, Charles Calenda. If you don’t understand why you have to throw away the bust of Mussolini, he wrote on Twitter addressing La Russa, “it’s” because he collaborated in the extermination of the Jews, because he had his opponents killed and workers beaten. And you are not Chinese. Are you Italian. Homeland of the offender. And President of the Senate. And if you don’t understand why you have to throw away the bust of Mussolini, you don’t deserve to be.”
