“Anyone who pays attention to the meaning of the words and the facts of history cannot miss that it was ‘before and after September 8, 1943’, that is, against fascism, but also during fascism.” In the text of the parliamentary question of Green Left Alliance MP Marco Grimaldi asking Defense Minister Guido Crosetto to withdraw the 2024 calendar of the Italian Army, we read: “For Italy always” he quotes the disturbing phrase.
A title strongly desired by undersecretary Isabella Rauti, a reserve officer and daughter of historical neo-fascist leader Pino. “This approach (we read it again in the question) is also underlined in the content statement published on the website of the Ministry of Defense: The calendar reminds us of one of the most dramatic historical periods of our country and pays tribute to the men who fought in this regard. ‘Before and after September 8, 1943, the calendar reminds us of one of the most dramatic historical periods of our country. with a sense of service’, ‘the same men, the same Heroes. Always for Italy!’
Mr. Grimaldi, are we dealing with a cunning attempt to rehabilitate this historical period?
“There have already been editions dedicated to the reenactment of historical events, clearly coinciding with anniversaries (the 1943 armistice in 2023, the outbreak of the Great War in 1917 in 2017). But this time there is no anniversary, and the intention to normalize the historical period of the Fascist dictatorship is clear and arbitrary and it must be said that the winds of revisionism are blowing in the highest offices of the state and reverberating at all levels. All of Italy by Undersecretary Isabella Rauti, daughter of Pino Rauti. While scrolling through the names of Officers, NCOs and Soldiers awarded with the Gold Medal of Military Valor shown in the calendar, these are in most cases They are figures that distinguish themselves. He is among the supporters of the liberation struggle and largely the Resistance, but the name of Giuseppe Izzo, who volunteered for the Spanish war on the side of the Francoists in September 1938, is also mentioned.
Matteo Salvini’s League aims to nominate General Roberto Vannacci for the next European elections and adopts the dubious positions expressed in this book; moreover, it is widely distributed in military conversations. Is this apparent politicization of the military becoming a problem?
“Patriarchy, homophobia, racism, xenophobia. Instead of firing him, demanding a public apology, he was promoted to chief of staff to the command of the ground operations forces. Tin gallons that undermine the honor of the Republic. A disgusting incident. The law signed by Giorgia Meloni and Guido Crosetto. “Perhaps it is better to find him as a candidate alongside Matteo Salvini than at the head of the military, an institution that should not grant citizenship to positions based on distortions of historical facts.”
Is this the so-called “cultural hegemony” of the right?
“I can also say that there is an absolutely repressive climate against every protest. Students, climate activists, striking workers. The Police Department shows their iron fist with them. Meanwhile, tax evaders, smugglers, human and environmental exploiters, Immigrant smugglers are respected and pampered. In recent months Rome In recent weeks, nearly a hundred complaints, deportation orders and verbal warnings have been forwarded by police stations in Turin and Venice to people who participated in acts of extermination rebellion against the preventive measures of the anti-mafia law for people without a criminal record. None of the contested acts caused actual or actual harm to people or property. It did not cause lasting harm. In several cases, demonstrators were instead physically and violently taken away by the police. Yes, we attribute special violence and the crime of spreading dangerous substances to those who spread the organic salt used in the rivers and seas of the Grand Canal. This is all a complete reversal of the truth and what we need to do is that the Italian government has nothing to do with tackling the climate crisis, but treats those who tell us about the urgency of action as terrorists. “The political climate, along with the climate of the planet, is becoming unbearable.”
The liquidation of Marino Sinibaldi from the Center for Books and Culture is being discussed. You also clashed with the Meloni government on this issue: He thinks that what happened in this center for nearly 80 years is a desire for “revenge”. The limits of democratic institutions?
“It is clear. Look at the appointments in cultural dissemination institutions, the proposals for reconciliation with historical fascism and fascist-inspired massacres, Minister Valditara’s circulars on the harms of communism, La Russian’s statements on the legality of the fascist salute. They defend white-collar workers and criminalize the victims. Fascist “They are not, they are as black as their hatred of what is different. ‘The struggle of the penultimate with the last’ is the masterpiece of the book. They represent this, as did the ruling classes and their ancestors.”
Do they favor the rich with the votes of the poor?
“The most serious aspect of this government is its social vision. By refusing to intervene in starvation wages and insecurity, they not only accept but worsen inequalities. They have liquidated citizenship income and monetized pensions. They continue to take away resources because they do not even consider taking resources from those who have them.” “They refuse and do their best to contribute to the collective well-being. Amnesty and return of extra profits, promised incentives to those who create fertile deserts, are intended to turn a long and diversified crisis into a catastrophe.”
