“Italy resists, Ferrara resists“. There’s this message in the cards which, together with the red carnations, yesterday (Thursday 25 April) the candidates of The United Left for Anselmo they have left in the symbolic places of the city of the fight against nazi-fascismstarting from the wall of Estense Castle where the terrible massacre of 15 November 1943 took place, where eleven people were shot.
“A wound That Still today is open for us Ferrarese” he claims Stefania Sorianiwhich underlines the importance of “honoring and remembering sacrifice that the martyrs of anti-fascism And of anti-Nazism they did for the lives of future generations, granting us liberation and freedomwhich today we must celebrate in what is our celebration.”
Despite this, according to Giuseppe Tretola, there are still several battles to face. “The discussion of the laws on premieredon the freedom of the press and ondifferentiated autonomy I’m a very heavy attack to ours Constitutionwhich is the daughter of the partisan struggle and therefore us we will continue to fightdoing our part.”
During the pilgrimage in the places of Ferrara resistancethe candidates of La Sinistra Unita for Anselmo also read poems and writings by twentieth century authors as Italo Calvino, Alfonso Gatto, Gianni Rodari, Salvatore Quasimodo And Piero Calamandrei who, on their skin, lived those years.
“It is a celebration, that of Liberation, that we must be happy and happy to be able to celebrateremembering that today if we are able to celebrate it is because there were those killed and it is right to remember why without memory you die” concludes Tretola, before leaving the floor to the lawyer Fabio Anselmocandidate for the municipal elections on 8 and 9 June with the centre-left.
“Freedom is a static conceptthe liberation is dynamic. Today is the celebration of liberation, not of freedom. A liberation that expresses the action of extreme sacrifice of partisans and civilians massacred by fascists, while freedom exists a goal achieved to be defended with our Constitution which did not come to us from heaven. It wasn’t given to us but we earned it ” explains Anselmo, who also condemns the choice to celebrate April 25th with the arrival of the Column of Freedom expected in Ferrara between Saturday 27th and Sunday 28th April, since “The army parade has nothing to do with this celebration“.
