April 25 Because this day will never be a party to Marcello Veneziani will be a celebration with more angry and more depressed, that of 25 April this year, so join three political factors: The election took place ten days ago with the emerging government of the center-right, the anger of the radical left excluded from Parliament, which seeks revenge of square, and the use of the April 25 election all'antivigilia of ballots, beginning with the Roman one.
Understandable So the first reaction of many annoyed.
But it would be a mistake to dismiss on April 25, prefers to stick to the civilized and Cavour motto "free party in a free state." And let the party begin and end, but as nature intended, without force or its celebration will become extinct. It is' a party that is weakening, as is natural, after 63 years and the growth of oblivion. Let me follow his parable, not to hasten death or congratulate thereof. As long as there are people who want to celebrate April 25 in red, please do so. He says one who loves freedom, but not the release, if not in the religious sense, even Hindus and Buddhists. Because freedom is a requirement of human dignity, body, soul and mind, the release is on a civil rather a discard, get rid of one, sometimes even a cut, a discharge of the duties and responsibilities, commitments and ties, memories and loyalty. But in this case of strength let me summarize it continues to attract a uniform and non-shared memory. First
for his use of a sectarian political party against a party of Italy, a part of living and conspicuous, and not just dead or fascist. If you continue to use the Resistance against someone, or Pansa Berlusconi to Alemanno, will never be the party of all Italians. Second, because not even half strength and was fought in the name of freedom against dictatorship, but to build another totalitarian dictatorship fiercest and most of what they wanted to break down. Many were Communist partisans, and even many partisans shareholders, who dreamed of a Soviet dictatorship in Italy or a Jacobin dictatorship of Virtu 'ethical and pedagogical, to straighten out Italy and the Italians, to establish the dictatorship of the proletariat and the intellectuals, with Party a despot.
A civil war to be ashamed Third, the party of April 25 will never be a feast shared until you remove the criminal and his dark side, revealed most recently by Pansa about the carnage and brutality committed after the war. When you say in historical sites and popular at school and on TV, at City Hall and Parliament, before the monument of the fallen officers and messages, that there was also a civil war to be ashamed, whose crimes were not only those committed by the Nazis with the help of the Fascists, but also those of the partisans, then we can finally have a resistance in the shared memory of all Italians.
For the same reason you should explicitly mention that the strength alone would not defeat the "fascism". Allies eradicate Italy from the Nazis and fascism. resistance has an additional symbolic and significant support to the minority, but secondary and allied forces. Rid hypocrisy to say that the Italian people is occurring, and has been released by the oppressor. It is not true. The people are not revolted: the vast majority of Italians, fear or common sense, remained inert in the gray area between fascism and anti-fascism of Salò resistance. Like honestly wants to acknowledge that the broad consensus, spontaneous and true that fascism had until '38 and went gradually decreasing thereafter. The aversion swept only a lost war. If you do not recognize it, leaving the element outside of history and Italy, in the rhetoric and simulation, as our only public holiday.
A peace never completed Finally, you need to say who was so odious and unacceptable that a regime deprived of liberty, he used violence and suppressed by force of dissent, signed racial laws wretched, wretched shook alliances with the Nazis and were drawn into a disastrous war, as were significant and positive works of modernization undertaken in those years, the Italian national cohesion and dignity in the world, the important achievements in terms of employment, education, culture, law, architecture, urbanism, the relationship with the church, and so (by the way, and for example, the idea of \u200b\u200bnaming the University of Bari in Moro, let me remember one thing they know how many but they say a few: for Bari and its universities, has done much more Crollalanza Herald that Aldo Moro. It is not an ideological opinion, but it is simple truth of the facts
} When these things become common wisdom, expressed also by the institutions, school and on state television, he can really be said to be accomplished and the national reconciliation can truly call itself the party of all April 25. And we can finally put up the wall of our common home a portrait of fascism and anti-like ancestors of two dead and buried in the civil war, but both of our ancestors, beyond the differences of opinion on both and our preference for freedom. If you are not
prepared for this, let April 25 remains, with all due respect, the celebration of a divided memory, not shared, a celebration party. If you must 'also be the party of the other half of Italy, also recognize the other half of the facts. A prayer for the fascists and anti-fascists.
