The controversies do not go out
The day before the feast ofl April 25thmore than the eightieth anniversary for the liberation to keep the bench are the security and the risk of clashes and the controversies for the canceled or modified events due to the national mourning for the death of Pope Francis.
In Milan, they are mainly worrying antagonists, basic unions and young people from Palestinians who have announced their intention to take the head of the procession, instead of staying in the queue as usual. Last year they met directly in Piazza Duomo, where they tried to break through the barriers to get to the stage but were rejected by the police. This year, after a first invitation to repeat the same scheme and find themselves in the square, they decided to concentrate a couple of hours before the departure of the national event in via Palestro, in order to precede Anpi, official banks, unions and parties, which however have no intention of giving way.
“That they arrive that they have no title regarding the Second World War and want to pass in front of everyone – commented the director of the Museum of the Jewish Brigade Davide Romano -, already outlines what kind of people are. People who have neither education nor respect for those who have been deported and fought the liberation war”. Just on the Jewish brigade, which will parade together with the Ukrainian community, there is particular attention (last year a member of the brigade was slightly wounded by a group of kids who came out of a fast food). With them there will also be exponents of action (not calenda who will be at the Anglo -American cemetery of Rome), and of Forza Italia as Mariastella Gelmini.
The secretary of the Democratic Party Elly Schlein, the secretary of the Italian left Nicola Fratoianni and Maurizio Landini who will then speak from the stage (together with the mayor Giuseppe Sala, to the national secretary of the Anpi Gianfranco Pagliarulo to the Milanese first minelli and the partisan Sandra Gilardelli, born in 1925).
“I will work in order not to spoil us on April 25. Ruin it – underlined Minelli – means doing a favor and giving an alibi to the right”. Similar is the concern in Rome to avoid contacts between the Jewish brigade that will be in Porta San Paolo and the garrison of Palestinian students ‘no to Israeli terrorists, no to the Zionists’ and then later to exclude accidents to the API procession from Largo Bompiani to the Schuster Park, from which the piece of propals and student movements will be detached directed to Porta San Paolo. The prefect Lamberto Giannini spoke of “maximum alert” also because the capital at the same time must face the flow of faithful to the ardent chamber of Pope Francis, who will close tomorrow evening.
