More discussion. Again, it was Ignazio La Russa’s words about resistance that caused controversy in the world of politics. As a matter of fact, the President of the Senate, who was interviewed on a podcast of the Libero newspaper, commented on the debate over President Giorgia Meloni’s words on the Fosse Ardeatine massacre. In fact, commemorating the tragic event, the Prime Minister spoke of “the murder of 335 innocent Italians simply because they were Italians”. The choice of the word “Italians” provoked many reactions, because not only citizens were among the victims of the massacre; many noticed that he did not use the word “anti-fascists” to commemorate Giorgia Meloni.
Speaking on the subject, La Russa said: “Via Rasella was far from being a noble member of the resistance, those killed were a band of semi-retired and non-Nazi SS members who knew very well the risk of reprisals against Roman citizens, anti-fascists and not” . Then the clear defense of the FdI leader: “A deceptive attack – he said – everyone knows that the Nazis killed prisoners, including politicians, Jews, anti-fascists and randomly gathered people, certainly not those who collaborated with them”.
Arturo Scotto, an MP for Article 1, responded – via social networks -: “La Russa’s remarks on Via Rasella are an unprecedented act of revisionism. It’s as if the partisans got some traction. The second circle of the state can’t confuse the perpetrators with the victims. . He cannot clarify the fascist point of view through customs. Worthless and cowardly”.
