“The caravanserai of 2,750 square meters, set up on a state-owned maritime property (the beach of Pescara), was not enough to host an event of the Brothers of Italy with a clear electoral content. The fact that this structure will remain there thanks to an authorization from the Municipality, granted for 25 days for an event that lasts just three, was not enough. It wasn’t even enough that the measure was taken on the basis of regional law no. 42 of 2006, which assigns administrative functions to the Municipalities in matters of maritime state property for tourist-recreational purposes, even though it is a political demonstration that has nothing touristy or recreational about it – as stated in a press note Daniele Marinelli, regional secretary of the Abruzzo PD –
We also had to read the insults and utterances of Giorgia Meloni’s associates, aimed at those who contest the presence of the village in that location and for such a long time. Specifically, MP Guerino Testa spoke of “rosiconi” who “with this attitude undermine democracy, we have never contested the Unity celebrations”.
His colleague Giovanni Donzelli made matters worse by defining the protesters as “four scoundrels who want to prevent others from demonstrating”, and then stated: “The day the Democratic Party manages to do such a beautiful thing by bringing in Elly Schlein, we we will applaud. But he can’t do it.” Finally he has the pearl: “Millions of people will see Pescara on national news and discover how beautiful it is.”
Going in order: let’s say to Testa that if he has never contested the Unity celebrations it is because no one has ever dreamed of having one on the beach occupying the beach for 25 days. As regards the definition of rosiconi, if it refers to those who ask for compliance with the rules, then yes: we happily declare ourselves rosiconi – continues Marinelli –
To the Hon. Donzelli we reply that those who prevented others from demonstrating were defeated by History 79 years ago, and the celebrations of April 25th remind us of this every year. As for the good things done by the Democratic Party with Elly Schlein, we remind him of the packed Piazza Unione that we saw last March 8th when the rally took place with the secretary, the president of the party Stefano Bonaccini and Professor Luciano D’Amico. Regarding the fact that “millions of people will see Pescara on national news and discover how beautiful it is”, we have the feeling that the cameras will be more busy following the politicians invited to the event than praising the splendor of the city.
The reality is that the leaders of Fratelli d’Italia wanted to kill two birds with one stone: hold the convention in a city which, in addition to voting for the European elections, will see elections for the renewal of the city council on the same day. And so they thought it best to set up a mega-spot in the heart of the city centre, keeping a structure that could be assembled and dismantled in a week standing for almost a month. If someone asks to verify the regularity of the permits, he is insulted and mocked. It is truly true that the arrogance and arrogance of this ruling class have no limits” – concludes Marinelli.
