(ANSA) - MILAN, DECEMBER 12 - The commemoration for the 53rd anniversary of the massacre in Piazza Fontana in Milan began amid the protests staged in the square by the social centers for Alfredo Cospito, the anarchist imprisoned under the 41 bis.
When Mayor Giuseppe Sala spoke after the wreaths had been laid in front of the Banca Nazionale dell'Agricoltura, a group of young people interrupted him and started yelling.
"We will not keep silent while the fascist state is about to kill our comrade Alfredo Cospito who is on hunger strike - they shouted -. For a massacre that never took place and without evidence, he is in 41 bis. A regime that must end for all prisoners who are locked up and that they are not all mafiosi".
One of the family members of the association of the victims of Fontana pizza took the floor to recall that "we are here to remember our dead who died there in that bank 53 years ago. Enough, go home, we are here to remember the our dead".
A concept reinforced by Mayor Sala who took the floor again to continue with his speech.
"I ask for respect, not so much for myself, but for the relatives of the dead - he warned -. Contest me too but not the relatives of the dead who have experienced real pain, far greater than what you are experiencing at the moment".
The group of protesters from the social centers then left and the ceremony resumed.
