La Russa: "There is no anti-fascism in the Constitution"

"There is no reference to anti-fascism in the Constitution. I believe that this happened under the pressure of the moderate parties who did not want to give this gift to the PCI and the USSR".

Thus, in an interview with Repubblica, the president of the Senate Ignazio La Russa, on the eve of April 25 on which, he announces, "I will do something that will make everyone agree".

He claims to "fully share the values ​​of the Resistance, seen as the overcoming of a dictatorship. The problem is that the PCI and then the left appropriated those values. This is a historical fact. And I have always opposed this".

When asked if it is still possible today to make a distinction between common history and partisan reading, La Russa replies: "In reading some of the positions of the PNA, it seems to me that I can say yes.

Look that even the Right, in its history, has nominated the partisans.

How many useless controversies about my sentences - he continues - There was a storm when I recalled the birth of the MSI.

The President of the Republic was also at Almirante's funeral ". Compared to his phrases on via Rasella:" The fact that I have married Fiuggi's turning point speaks for me.

What do I have to do?

Then Fini went further, but I still believe that when he defined fascism as absolute evil he was talking about the racial laws.

Whatever is said or done is exploited - he continues - And we always end up forced to pursue controversy.

Then I also give up making comments, as happened in Israel.

If we remove the flame from the FdI symbol, the reference to the nation will be held against us and then they will find others.

It's a race I don't feel like participating in." On Lollobrigida and 'ethnic replacement': "But do you really think he's a white supremacist?

He himself said that he didn't know what he was saying, or rather he didn't know Kalergi's conspiracy theory."

"'The reorganization, in any form, of the dissolved fascist party is forbidden'. The president of the Senate, Ignazio La Russa, should read our beautiful anti-fascist Constitution to the end".

The deputy of the Democratic Party, Michela Di Biase writes it on Twitter.

"Ignazio La Russa, the shame of the institutions, who does not know the XII provision of the Constitution. The fascists in government: Humiliation of students as a teaching method, Ethnic replacement. Will Giorgia Meloni still defend her associates today? #larussaresign".

Thus in a tweet the national co-spokesman of Green Europe and deputy of Greens and Left Angelo Bonelli about the interview in which the president of the Senate states that 'Anti-fascism is not in the Constitution.'

"April 25th is so important that it is a national holiday, the whole country celebrates it and represents a system of values ​​that are the basis of the Italian Constitution as our President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella has repeatedly repeated and as we all know. April 25th it is too important an anniversary and an event to be subjected to controversy and to make us waste time commenting on the declarations of President La Russa on anti-fascism".

This was stated by the mayor of Florence Dario Nardella, on the sidelines of an event in the city.
