Msi case, Calenda and Bonaccini also intervene. The governor: “Dear Rauti, remember the difference between democracy and fascism”

Also Stefano Bonaccini, leading candidate for the secretariat of the Democratic Party, intervenes on the Msi case. The governor attacks via social media Isabella Rautiwho in recent days had celebrated the foundation of the Italian Social Movement, a party in which his father Pino, a historic exponent of the social right, also fought.

“Dear Rauti – Bonaccini wrote on Twitter – always remember the difference between what allowed the birth of democracy (delivered to us by those who participated in the Liberation from Nazi-fascism) and fascism itself which imprisoned and even killed those who had different opinions, abolishing parties and unions . Point”. The candidate for the dem secretariat was the protagonist of a question and answer on Twitter with Francesco Giubileirecently appointed adviser to the Minister of Culture Gennaro Sangiuliano. Giubilei attacked those who “in 2021 celebrated the centenary of the PCI and have never distanced themselves from the crimes of communism”. Governor’s response: “The PCI in Italy participated in the Resistance, it helped to defeat a murderous regime, to found the Republic, write the Constitution, beat terrorism. Study Italian history, perhaps. It will do you good”

It also comes Charles Calenda. The leader of Action takes it out on the president of the Senate Ignatius LaRussa that in recent days he too had decided to dedicate a post to the anniversary of the foundation of the MSI, a party of which, like Rauti, his father was also a member. “Playing with the tragedies of history. Ignatius LaRussa as soon as he was elected, he gave a confused speech on resistance and democracy. Then he pretends to be nostalgic for a party born of the Social Republic and Nazi-fascism. There is a lack of critical reasoning on his political path “, he wrote on Twitter. And again:” La Russa thinks he can keep Mussolini’s busts and Segre flowers together in a pop cocktail. Nothing has a deep meaning anymore and everything is consumed in the arc of a photo. Memory is replaced by opportunism. Terrible”. Calenda’s reference is to the bouquet of flowers delivered by La Russa to life senator Liliana Segre – a Holocaust survivor – immediately after her lectures as president of Palazzo Madama.

Nicola Fratoianni calls for the resignation of the two members of the Brothers of Italy. “La Russa and Rauti dthey should have the sensitivity to take a step back, in respect of the democratic institutions of our country”. According to the secretary of the Italian Left, “there is a problem as big as a mountain” if the second office of state and a government official decide to pay homage to a “party of veterans of the Republic serving the Nazis”. Pd senator Antonio Misiani shares the same opinion: “He behaves more like a party leader than an institutional manager and this is not a good thing”, he told Radio Immagina speaking of the president of the Senate “The story of La Russa is known but when he became the second state office he should have had a different attitude”.
