Mussolini’s photo is on display at the Mise. Giorgetti: “It’s also in Chigi. But we removed it”

Object of the desires and negotiations in the center-right that is preparing to arrive at Palazzo Chigi, that of economic development is one of the most talked about ministries in these hours. Silvio Berlusconi asked it, it could eventually be entrusted to Giorgia Meloni’s loyalist, Guido Crosetto. But in the meantime, whatever the choice, in via Molise, where the offices of the outgoing manager Giancarlo Giorgetti are still located, they have seen fit not to waste time and to move forward with the furnishings. And so, it seems that last week – as reported by La7 – photos of all the ministers who passed through that department were exhibited, including that of Benito Mussolini. At least until today, because in the meantime, they have reversed from the ministry, placating the controversy in the bud: “This year is the 90th anniversary of Palazzo Piacentini, seat of the Ministry of Economic Development inaugurated on November 30, 1932. The initiatives to celebrate the building began with the inauguration of the brilliant Italia exhibition, a new edition of the orbicular volume and the gallery of ministers, where there is also the photo of Benito Mussolini. To avoid exploitation it will be removed “.

“I am informed that the photographs of all the ministers, including Mussolini, would be exhibited at MISE”, he wrote this morning Pierluigi Bersani, who attended those offices between 2006 and 2008 during the Prodi government. “In case of confirmation, I kindly ask to be exempted and that my photo be removed”, added the former secretary of the Democratic Party. The replica of Giancarlo Giorgetti. The photo of Benito Mussolini exhibited at the Mise among that of the other ministers? “There is also at Palazzo Chigi, not only at Mise – it was the defense of the minister coming out of Montecitorio – but if it is a problem we remove it. Now they have taken it off, they tell me. He was the prime minister of the corporations, alas ”.

The reaction of the CGIL, which before the removal of the photo, spoke of “a very serious act, as well as deplorable. A disturbing fact, even more serious and unacceptable for the history of this country is that all this seems to have happened in the presence of the Minister of Economic Development Giorgetti and the former president of the Senate Casellati “. For this, concluded the trade union note, it is necessary “to clarify immediately”.
