Ignazio La Russa talks about Myrta Merlino after the controversy over the June 2nd celebrations. The president of the Senate is a guest on the June 6 edition of L’Aria che Tira, the La7 talk show, and refutes the accusations coming from the left, in particular those of Michela Murgia and Roberto Saviano: “What is surprising is the ignorance ” , that is, without knowing things, how the June 2nd parade always worked and how the military of all corporations, including the Red Cross nurses, paraded. But still throwing inconclusive and baseless accusations.
Merlin responded by pointing out that if the invading Comsubin did not give the Roman salute, but an “attention to the left”, it is still undeniable that the President of the Senate made the victory gesture with his fingers two or three times during the parade, for example, when passed to the Sassari Brigade”, says La Russa, who explains that he started to use the salutation with the index and ring fingers in a “V” precisely to avoid being photographed with his hand raised. to say that I was giving the Roman salute, of course that was not true, since then I have only made the victory gesture on public occasions. Do Propaganda Live’, a program that sometimes makes me laugh, sometimes makes me cry.

If it weren’t for Murgia, who has a serious problem translating everything into anti-fascism, nobody would have said anything, it’s his cultural background, let’s say” the rest of the statements on the case by the exponent of the Brothers of Italy.
The latest media storm did not surprise La Russa: “We knew that for us on the center right, both in government and in institutional positions like mine, it would be like this. They say ‘these can be disruptive and can break the party’. We are not tender with the power system that has occupied too many spaces over the years, they fear it”.
