For the Democratic party of Aprilia “She went in scene is the usual revisionist antics of some old fascist and neo-fascist tools in front of a memorial stone placed on private property”.
For Aprilia in Action was “A tribute event of the Barbarigo battalion, a department of the X Mas that worked in the service of the Nazi-fascists. A demonstration with a strong fascist character that coincidentally falls on the day of liberation”.
However, the point is that he participated in the demonstration Edoardo Baldo, municipal councilor of FDI of Aprilia.
We have no difficulty – declares Alessandro Cosmi – secretary of PD Aprilia – in showing appreciation for the mayor’s speech Lanfranco Principiwhich was able to reconstruct the historical context of the tragic years at the end of the Second World War and it seems right to us to report one of the most important passages.”..And in fact for our Italy the Resistance meant a collective awareness, led by free, anti-fascist and democratic forces, underlying profoundly different ideologies but united to break the chains of an unjust regime, which showed the its worst face through the physical elimination or forced removal of political opponents, the suppression of freedom of vote and opinion, through racial laws. …”. It is sad to note – continues Cosmi – that while the mayor was saying those wise words, while Salvatore Lax, exponent of the Brothers of Italy and President of the municipal council, was in the square at the War Memorial, in Campoverde like every year, the usual revisionist antics of some old fascist and neo-fascist tools were staged in front of a memorial stone placed on private property . That memorial stone that recalls the “exploits” of some fascist fighters. The FdI group leader Edoardo Baldo was present at this event. To us this seems like a serious gesture and one that demonstrates the inability to understand the difference between the reasons of those who, in those terrible moments, knew how to fight for the freedom of our lands and those who fought in favor of fascist tyranny. Baldo’s act is serious, but not isolated. It fits into a context that sees many members of his political party in difficulty on April 25th. For Giorgia Meloni herself, yesterday was another Liberation celebrated with effort under the minimum wage. Just twenty minutes of presence at the Altare della Patria and ten lines on the Internet. We hope that Lanfranco Principi will have Edoardo Baldo read his speech and convince him to behave more institutionally in the future.
For Aprilia in Action the presence of the municipal councilor Edoardo Baldo is unacceptable who, putting the entire municipal administration in a bad light as the group leader of the party most represented in the majority, participated in the event in homage to the Barbarigo battalion, a department of the nazi-fascists. A demonstration with a strong fascist character that coincidentally falls on the day of liberation.
An event repeated and discussed several times over the years but the presence of the municipal councilor leading the Fratelli d’Italia group is of an unprecedented institutional gravity. In this regard, we invite the mayor to distance himself from the exponent of the Brothers of Italy and to recall his entire coalition so that each representative can daily cultivate those values of freedom and resistance on which our country is founded. Nazi-fascism was one of the absolute evils of our country and we must be intransigent towards those who, even in the slightest, wink at these ideologies, starting with the representatives of the institutions.
“A predictable, unjustified and baseless attack by opposition parties that renounce their symbols and sit in the council side by side with those who marched wearing sashes at the Cippo di Campoverde”. Thus the group leader of the Brothers of Italy Edward Baldo comments on the criticisms advanced by the Pd and Action.
“I don’t want to lend myself to a vulgar controversy – he continues – with those who, like Pd and Azione, use these tricks to be able to do so in order to appear in the newspapers, given that in the City Council their representatives didn’t even have the courage to use the own symbols.
It borders on the ridiculous to discover that only today they notice my presence on April 25th at the Cippo, only now that they are in opposition have they needed to emphasize my participation, which has been constant over the years.
It is unfortunate that freedom, from their point of view, is linked to a specific political color and I find it grotesque that in 2024 there are still series A and series B deaths. Because those who died to defend an ideal, regardless of their ideology, in my opinion notice deserves respect.
The attack I receive also makes me smile when among the ranks of the group that supported Luana Caporaso’s candidacy for mayor, not only are there no posts on social media that are much more eloquent than my silent presence, when the same colleague Francesca Barbaliscia as a councilor he paraded at the Cippo di Campoverde complete with sash and even the late Mayor D’Alessio paid homage to those deceased (although not directly on April 25th). Surprise is evidently the only way to create controversy and have a minimum of visibility.
Yesterday posters of Premier Meloni were burned in some squares but I don’t think the opposition condemned the gesture, unfortunately as always there are those like me who know the meaning of freedom and those who have their own meaning.
