The image of American soldiers of the Second World War on the background of a geographical map of Colombia (ANSA) has been disseminated on social profiles


A gaffe that has not gone unnoticed. First the image of the foreign soldier, mistakenly chosen to celebrate the centenary of the Unknown Soldier, began to circulate on the chats, then on some social networks, with related protest posts. In the end, an apology from the mission structure of the Presidency of the Council that deals with promoting anniversaries and that had spread that wrong poster: "Heartfelt regret, action will be taken". In the image that wanted to commemorate the hundred year anniversary of the unknown soldier, whose body was interred at the Altare della Patria in 1921, some non-Italian soldiers, presumably American, moreover from the Second World War, were inserted. As if that were not enough, the background is that of a foreign map, perhaps Colombian.A representation that has nothing to do with the Unknown Soldier and that in a short time aroused a wave of controversy, first on social media, by numerous citizens, and then also in Parliament, with indignant stances and interrogation announcements parliamentarians. "More than angry we are embittered given the importance attributed to the centenary of the Unknown Soldier by the various administrations, including local ones, by the Armed Forces and by various educational institutions", declare in a note some deputies of the Brothers of Italy, asking the Government why it is necessary to "understand the origin of such a slip". "It's a shame", says the Italian senator Maurizio Gasparri: "the Prime Minister should apologize to the victims and the fighters,with family members and with the deceased. Such sloppiness disqualifies those who have done it. He resigns. "Giorgia Meloni, president of Fratelli d'Italia, is also angry." Clamorous error of the Presidency of the Council of Ministers: on the social profiles of the Mission Structure for the national anniversaries of Palazzo Chigi an institutional graphic is posted for the centenary of the Milite Unknown but which has absolutely nothing to do with our national history. In fact, you can see US soldiers from the Second World War and a portion of a geographical map that is not Italy. But how is such sloppiness possible? Who authorized this destruction? Brothers of Italy will present a question to the Government, to Prime Minister Draghi and to the Minister Delegate Dadone,to find out who is responsible for this indecency ". The apologies of the Mission Structure arrive in the evening." For a typo - reads a post - an inaccurate image was released during the selection activities. We have taken steps to remove and replace it. Although this was an episode that occurred in the context of particularly intense workloads, measures will be adopted. The Mission Structure expresses heartfelt regret, apologizing for the mistake made. "action will be taken. The Mission Structure expresses heartfelt regret, apologizing for the mistake made. "action will be taken. The Mission Structure expresses heartfelt regret, apologizing for the mistake made. "
