"Portella della Ginestra is destroyed. The symbolic place of workers' struggles where the first of May has been celebrated since the time of Nicola Barbato", one of the founders of the Sicilian Fasci of workers, burns.
Thus the general secretary CGIL Palermo Mario Ridulfo and the general secretaries Flai Palermo and Sicily Dario Fazzese and Tonino Russo.
Portella della Ginestra, in the Municipality of Piana degli Albanesi, is the place where Salvatore Giuliano's gang, on 1 May 1947, carried out the massacre that killed 11 people.
