(ANSA) - ROME, AUGUST 06 - There is a controversy over the proposal of the Undersecretary for the Economy, the Northern League player Claudio Durigon to name the city park - which is currently dedicated to Falcon and Borsellino, to Arnaldo Mussolini, the brother of the duke. "The story of Latina is one that someone also wanted to delete, changing the name of that park of ours that must go back to being that Mussolini park it has always been. Here we are and we want to go on", said Undersecretary Durigon speaking from the stage of Latina on the evening of August 4th. The intervention, which in these hours is bouncing on social, was published on the fb profile 'Lega Salvini PremierLazio' and preceded that of the leader Matteo Salvini from the same stage in recent days.
The Latina Municipal Park officially changed its name in the summer of 2017 to 'Parco Falone-Borsellino'. But since then, the initiative in the Pontine capital had brought with it a legacy of polemics: the garden, in fact, had been linked for many decades in city use to the name of Arnaldo Mussolini, brother of the duce, and the center-right had opposed the Municipal Council meeting act considered "against the history of the city".
According to the deputy of the Democratic Party Alessia Morani, "the presence in the government of Durigon" is "a problem. This stuff is unacceptable.
Unacceptable ". For his colleague Carmelo Miceli it is" disconcerting the attempt to remove the names of Falcone and Borsellino from the parcocentrale in Latina and replace them with the Duce's brother, Arnaldo Mussolini. But anyhow: the wolf loses its fur, but not the vice. And in fact the Northern League player Claudio Duringon has chosen to look at the election campaign of the Pontine capital, where in October the new mayor will be voted, with his eyes turned to the darkest past of our country. Even with the will to erase two of the highest and most loved figures in Italy: two magistrates who gave their lives for us all. Durigon stop and stop winking squalidly at fascism ". (ANSA).
