BARI – «I wasn’t surprised at all, anyone who knows the remote and present events knows that this is the sore point par excellence. Scurati said some very well thought out things and luckily it went the way it did because, instead of hearing it once, we will hear it dozens of times. It’s called the irony of history.” This was said by the professor emeritus of the Aldo Moro University of Bari, Luciano Canfora, during a public meeting regarding the alleged censorship of the speech on the Liberation Day that the writer Antonio Scurati was supposed to give during a Rai broadcast.
“I should be surprised for over two years in a row, because I think it started in April 2022. I’m tenacious, but being surprised for 24 months is a bit much, so I’m not surprised.” This was said by professor emeritus of the Aldo Moro University of Bari, Luciano Canfora, during a public meeting regarding the indictment ordered by the Court of Bari following the defamation lawsuit presented by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. To those who asked him how he is experiencing it, Canfora replied “I ask myself that too, I think it’s good”
«Every time April 25th is a moment of reflection, it has been for about 80 years because it has never been a date accepted by the pro-fascist minority and every time it is a problem to explain its meaning and importance». This was said by the professor emeritus of the Aldo Moro University of Bari, Luciano Canfora, during a public meeting, in view of the Liberation Day, promoted in the Apulian capital by Cgil Puglia, Flc Cgil Puglia, Di Vittorio foundation and Link university coordination of Bari .
“Little by little – added Canfora – the generations that follow will have this task, for as long as we are allowed to”. Canfora added that the distance from fascism today is “very short because only a couple of generations have passed and those who militated in the social republic were politically active for over 40 years”. “The younger ones – he highlighted – educated by them are have risen to important positions, so the problem is always open and it is necessary to make it clear that the constitutional arch, which was important for our history, has disappeared.”
Canfora also said that «partisan means that he is on a certain side, and he fights for that side. In our case it is implied that it is the cause for which many died and the others, who survived, wrote the Italian Constitution”.
To those who asked him what actions can be performed today in the name of those values, the philologist specified that «it is criticism, the critical ability which is the most important weapon of all. And prevent history from being forgotten, therefore making oneself understood, explained, narrated and applied the first 11 articles of the Constitution.”
