FISH – “Melosi ran in 2018 with CasaPound and therefore his origins are clear: Fratelli d’Italia had no problems welcoming him into their ranks and re-nominating him in 2023. Melosi continues to show his true face, now it’s up to Fratelli d ‘Italy demonstrates what its position is: if, even after what happened yesterday, it decides to keep Melosi among its ranks, it means that it indirectly endorses his actions and this would be as serious as what Melosi did.” With these words, the regional councilor PD Marco Niccolai comments on the statements made yesterday on social media by the Fdi representative on April 25th.
“Pescia – continues Niccolai – is a bronze medal for military valor for partisan activities: in 1944 our territory was put to fire by the Nazis and Republican collaborators, with massacres that resulted in dozens of deaths.
This is the blood tribute that Pescia paid to the national liberation struggle that culminated on April 25th and this sacrifice cannot be mocked or reviled by anyone. We need respect – concludes Niccolai – for the fallen and for the history of our territory: Brothers of Italy concretely demonstrate which side they are on”.
Fossi (Regional Secretary of the Democratic Party): “Who are the Brothers of Italy with?”
Emiliano Fossi, secretary of the Tuscany PD, also spoke on the topic: “April 25th is part of the heritage of each of us, yet there are those who still persist in not taking into account the history of our country”, he commented .
“Yesterday it was the turn of the Fratelli d’Italia municipal councilor in Pescia, Giacomo Melosi, who published a cartoon on social media in which he denigrates the participants in the commemorative processions. An action totally out of place with respect to the democratic values it should represent and which disrespects the many who fought and died to give us freedom. We hope that there will be a distancing from the Brothers of Italy,” he concluded.
