At the head of the procession, among others, the leaders of the Aned and the Anpi with the national president Gianfranco Pagliarulo and that of Milan Roberto CenatiMayor Beppe Sala (next to him his partner Clare Bazoli with a red carnation in hand) and the secretary of the CISL Luigi Barra. Immediately after the flags of Uil and Cgil, Action and +Europe, representatives of Italia Viva, a delegation of the Lombardy 5 Star Movement and the Democratic Party with the banner ‘Born from the Resistance’.
Followed by the maxi rainbow flag of peace Popular Union and Communist Refoundation with the banner ‘Out of the war of history’. The van with which the two parties parade is covered with posters with the face of the president of the Senate and the words ‘La Russa resign!’ and the invitation to sign a petition for words on the facts of Via Rasella. Carc also took part in the demonstration with placards against the Democratic Party and NATO (‘Let’s DePdify April 25 for a new liberation’ and ‘Nato out of history’) and the anarchist banner ‘Disertor* of your wars’.
“If you hear certain things, you have to say them aloud, putting your face on them. On some occasions Meloni publicly showed a decisive face, shouted certain words and certain slogans and what he should do is put his face on and say clearly and in a definitive: ‘we are anti-fascists'”, said Sala before the departure of the procession. “But if I’m like this, I think it’s also useless to continue with this ballet. The important thing is that we feel it and I hope that Milan continues to feel this spirit – he concluded -. Let’s go ahead and for us the Liberation is a celebration”.

In the morning, the mayor, on the sidelines of the deposition of the wreaths that celebrate the city as a Gold Medal of the Resistance, said: “Someone doesn’t hear April 25, we also need to get over it, the controversies have always been there and there will be, personally, it doesn’t interest me that much. I am interested in what Milan hears and I am convinced that the city is deeply anti-fascist”. And he added: “Like every year there are controversies, in my opinion we make it more difficult than it is, some feel it and others don’t – he concluded – We’re always here, so I think it’s a question destined to drag on and to always be like this. As far as I feel, this day and that of Sant’Ambrogio are the two days that I feel most every year and that move me the most”.
The president of Lombardy Attilio Fontana he participated in the celebrations in his city, Varese. And he commented on social media: “April 25 is a day of celebration for all Italians, a day of unity. Today, like every year, I took part in the celebrations that took place in Varese.
