Today they attack the manager of the Lazio Region, but in 95 they voted and signed a motion defending Mambro and Fioravanti
Once upon a time on the left. Who invoked the truth about the massacres between the end of the 1960s and the beginning of the 1980s. A historical truth, independent of that determined by the Courts of the Republic. A more complex truth, more difficult to find and, perhaps, even to accept. It was December 22, 1995 and a motion signed by Andrea Augello, Marina Rossanda, Alessandro Foglietta, Marco Verzaschi, Vittoria Tola, Romolo Guasco, Roberta Ercoli, Armando Dionisi, Massimiliano Maselli and Angelo Bonelli was presented at the Lazio Regional Council. The latter is now a deputy and spokesman for Avs, the alliance between the Greens and the Left. The text had as its object the “condemnation of Valerio Fioravanti and Francesca Mambro for the Bologna massacre”. Having made the assumptions and considerations, the document, as usual, made three requests. “The Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry into the Massacres must start the necessary hearings to collect the statements of the defense witnesses of Francesca Mambro and Valerio Fioravanti, who were not admitted to the trial debate”.
The Commission itself was asked to “examine, with a new series of hearings, all the elements of contradiction in the prosecution system that led to the convictions of Mambro and Fioravanti, based on the well-founded accusations proposed by the commission. What if they were innocent?” . But that’s not enough. The motion also asked the Commission to review “all the elements of connection that exist between the massacres of Ustica and that of Bologna”.
During the classroom discussion, then-president Piero Badaloni highlighted his position. “I personally know Giusva Fioravanti, I saw him grow up and I believe that the words spoken here about the Bologna massacre and the doubts expressed are fully acceptable”. This motion, which was clearly critical of impeachment, passed unanimously. With the favorable vote, among others, also of Alessio D’Amato, former candidate from the Lazio region, defeated by Francesco Rocca last February. The commission “What if they were innocent?”, created after the final conviction of Mambro and Fioravanti, was born entirely within the left. Piero Badaloni, then President of the Region of Lazio (and a few months ago President of the Commission of the candidate for President of the PD Alessio D’Amato) presented a motion to the President of the Commission of Massacres Giovanni Pellegrino with which the Region of Lazio asked unanimously to judgment review.
Today, that left is gone. It has been replaced by a progressive universe ready to burn Marcello De Angelis for simply daring to say what Badaloni, Augello, D’Amato and Bonelli claimed a few days before Christmas 1995. But the most grotesque aspect of the whole affair comes precisely from the words two of the protagonists of that 1995 motion. We cannot accept that an attempt at historical revisionism, definitive sentences and a neo-fascist matrix of the massacre, as the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella recently wrote, comes from an institutional figure. The victims of the Bologna massacre and their families deserve respect». This is the text of a note from the leaders of opposition groups in the Lazio region, signed, among others, also by Alessio D’Amato. And the leader of the Greens, Angelo Bonelli. “Giorgia Meloni’s party is embarrassing. One dinner was enough to absolve De Angelis. The political responsibility for this situation lies with Prime Minister Meloni, who defends the indefensible with silence ». Ah, coherence, this unknown.
