Appointment at 2pm at the Bastioni in Corso Venezia, arriving in Piazza Duomo. Sala’s appeal: come to the square. Salvini: «I too will participate in a ceremony»
The final appeal falls to the mayor Beppe Sala: «Tomorrow (today for those who read, ed) there is the procession of April 25th for Liberation Day (here is the Corriere’s live broadcast on the demonstrations in Italy). I hope that many will want to participate. I invite you to participate.” And today’s, in the 79th year since the Liberation of Nazi-Fascism in the city with the Gold Medal of the Resistance, could be the most political Milanese procession ever, also for the events of the last few days. Writer Antonio Scurati, whose monologue on Giacomo Matteotti — 100 years after the fascist murder — was clumsily censored by Rai, he will participate in the parade. This year, however, there will also be something new early demonstration, right in Piazza Duomo, organized (from 1.30 pm) by the Palestinian Youth and some of the social centers (such as T28).
Appointment at 2pm at the Bastioni in Corso Venezia, arriving in Piazza Duomo – Where the Anpi set up the stage near Piazza Diaz like last year – at 3.30pm. Scurati, who as of last night had not yet released her reservation, could read his monologue from the stage. Certain interventions, however, are those of the president of the city’s Anpi Primo Minelli; of the mayor Room; of the actor and director Pif, born Pierfrancesco Diliberto; of the president of the National Association of former deportees to Nazi camps (Aned) Dario Venegoni; Of Andrea Ricciardi of the Italian Federation of Partisan Associations (Fiap); of the general secretary of Uil Pierpaolo Bombardieri and of Debora Migliucci of the Historical Labor Archive. The national president of Anpi concludes the speeches from the stage Gianfranco Pagliarulowhich will be followed the concert by the Anpi of the Teatro alla Scala, which will play «Bella ciao», «Va’ pensiero» and «Fischia il vento».
National politics present. The Democratic secretary Elly Schlein will take part, for the second time since she was elected, in the section of the Democratic Party which will parade behind the banner with Matteotti’s words «Fascism is not an opinion, it is a crime». Also in the procession was the leader of the Alleanza Verdi Sinistra, Nicola Fratoianni. Parading with the Jewish Brigade – behind the banner “Now and always democracy defends itself” – several centre-left politicians: the leader of Action Carlo Calenda with Giulia Pastorella And Mariastella Gelmini; the +Europa MP Benedetto della Vedova; and some exponents of the Milanese Democratic Party such as the deputy Lia Quartapelle and the regional councilor Pietro Bussolati. Emanuele Fianoalso a PD, as always the procession will begin among the dems and then move next to the Jewish Brigade in the delicate passage in San Babila, where it is usually contested.
The leader of the League Matteo Salvinihowever, will present at the same time as the courtor his book in via Vivaio — a choice that has raised several controversies — and will participate in «one of the demonstrations», in all probability at the Shrine of the Fallen of all wars.
