“Today, on the 79th anniversary of the Liberation, on the eve of the local elections, I consider it important to reiterate the meaning of anti-fascism as a condition and substance of our democratic participation”. Thus writes Marco Massari, candidate of the centre-left: “We live in an era in which we see Roman greetings with ever greater frequency; in a political climate in which a minister publicly and generically condemns anti-fascists from all over the world and in which truncheons return to attack the students who demonstrate. These are times in which a monologue that investigates the ambiguities of the Prime Minister on the topic of anti-fascism receives inexplicable censorship and writers, journalists and intellectuals who express critical judgments are singled out ad personam”, continues Massari, doing so. also reference to the latest controversy over the monologue by the writer Antonio Scurati canceled by Rai.
“Reggio Emilia is a gold medal city for military valor for the Resistance – continues Massari – here the partisans contributed in an essential way to the fight for Liberation and from that experience came constituent mothers and fathers. A generation was born from the Resistance industrious and intellectually lively who has capitalized on so much suffering to build a more just and supportive city. Today we reiterate the value of anti-fascism and the desire to stick to the founding principles of our Constitutional Charter our pact for the future city, signed by all the forces that support my candidacy for mayor. In this city, freedom of expression, democratic participation, the search for equal opportunities for all will never be opposed but always encouraged.” .
