“It took a civil war to restore dignity and feelings to a lost country and to the many men and women who had lost their way during fascism. Who had believed in Mussolini, in the dictatorship, in the empire. Even in racial laws“. The candidate for mayor of the Convention for Bari 2024 and the 5 Star Movement, Michele Laforgia, wrote this in a post on his Facebook page.
Laforgia took part in a debate on the themes of the Liberation Day at the headquarters of the La Giusta Causa association, in the company of professor emeritus of the University of Bari, Luciano Canfora
“The Resistance was also a private matter, for those men and women. The body started moving again, the heart started beating again. Lost love became a great political issue, the liberation from Nazi-fascism and the reconquest of the dignity of an entire people, the vast majority of whom had been fascists and were ashamed of themselves – underlines Laforgia – If today we have a Constitution born from the Resistance we owe it to those men and women. To those who, even when all seemed lost, decided to oppose and risk their lives for their freedom and ours. And who in the following decades continued to fight, with their ideas, so that that Constitution was not betrayed“.
“On the day we celebrate Freedom in our country, we, the young generations too, cannot forget to express our gratitude to those who lost their lives to guarantee it for us, even if born across the ocean. However, we must defend freedom every day – wrote the centre-right mayoral candidate, Fabio Romito on his social profiles – Freedom from malfeasance, freedom from the lack of opportunities of our young people, freedom from recommendations in competitions“.
