La Russa insists: “The resisters were not all the same. The red partisans wanted an Italy model of the Soviet Union”

One week from April 25, Ignatius LaRussa he goes back to speaking of the Resistance and of “red and white” partisans, because “a part of the Resistance had the ambition of giving Italy a government more similar to that of the Soviet Union: it is a historical truth”. The president of the Senate, after the shocking words on via Rasella, tries to remedy by recalling when “the right was able to come to terms with its past”. “To those who say that the right still has to deal with the past, I say read Pier’s book which takes up some of Fiuggi’s theses when with Pinuccio Tatarella we clearly recognized the absolute value of the Resistance in restoring freedom and democracy to Italy”, he said during the presentation of the senator’s book Pier Ferdinando Casini. Then specifying the part on the “red and white partisans”.

La Russa insists on calling Casini’s book into question: “You have described it very well, recalling the role of Fini and the role of Fiuggi, when the right was able to come to terms with its past. To those who ask again, read the his book, which writes it clearly and takes up some sentences from Fiuggi’s thesis in which we made absolutely clear the value that the resistance had had in restoring freedom and democracy to Italy.With Tatarella and his avant-garde youth, it was me and Gasparri, and we fought for those theses in a victorious manner” adds La Russa recalling that “certainly in those theses there is also a substantial difference, which it is useless to hide: that while respect for the Constitution is total and absolute, we said that not all of the Resistance, white partisans and red partisans, had had the same objective.We said that a part of the Resistance, which had also been important in reaching the post-war phase, probably had the ambition to give Italy a government that looked more like the Soviet Union. But it was a historical truth, which someone has tried in vain in the following years to forget”.

Try to close the speech on partisans, the president of the Senate. However, he comments on the migrant issue: “It is the tam tam that is damaging us, ‘go to Italy and we can stay there as we want’. This causes an influx greater than what we can afford. It is an ideological tam tam”.
