About the country’s priority. Yesterday the city council of Salò, a charming town of Lake Garda and despite his capital of the Italian Social Republic between 1943 and ’45, revoked the honorary citizenship that was conferred on Benito Mussolini in 1923, which at the time decided seven thousand Italian municipalities. The problem of revocation had already posed other times. But both the right and the left, which has governed here for a long time, had done nothing. Today the wind has changed: the anti -fascism has become the core business of the company and the embarrassing recognition has been listed, with pride and emotion.
And so the left that in Ischia, at the Archaeological Museum of Villa Arbusto, the other day set a plaque in memory of Lenin, in Salò scraped the name of Mussolini from the history of the city. Incidentally: it is another demonstration of the usefulness of the European Parliament. The resolution that combines and condemns the symbols of fascism and communism nobody respects it.
Then curious the reasons for those who defend the memory of the Duce in Salò and Lenin in Ischia. They are identical: “It helps tourism.” And in fact, the ideologies are died, business will barely remain.
For the rest, we who have nothing neither against honorary citizens nor against the commemorative plates, we remain indifferent in front of
Who, much more dangerous than those who remember him, want to erase the past. By contrabling the gesture even as a revolution. Which is not a gala lunch, but sometimes he knows of cold meal. Consumed after more than one hundred years.
