ROMA (ITALPRESS) – “Turning your back during the commemoration of Marcinelle is a serious and shameful gesture. Today, during the ceremony for the 262 workers dead in the mine, some representatives of the CGIL chose to turn their backs while the President of the Senate Ignazio The Russian intervened and read the message of the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella. A political dispute transformed into a disregard for the institutions of the State, precisely when Italy pays tribute to 262 victims and the sacrifice of so many of our compatriots.” So the President of the Council Giorgia Meloni in a post on X.
“And it is even more serious if to do so are representatives of an organization that has among its own reasons of being the representation and protection of workers. Marcinelle is not the place for political divisions. It is the place of memory, respect and dignity of work. Those who today chose to turn their backs failed to respect this.”.
LA RUSSA “C’È CHI IN PASSATO HA VOLTATO SPALLE E CHI CONTINUA A FARLO”
“I don’t want to get this commemoration dirty with acts that I consider of squalid propaganda. Instead I want to remember the value of this ceremony, which honors all fallen on work, Italian and foreign, those who, in the immediate post-war period, had never happened before, were sent in exchange for coal, to work in conditions of which today we would surely be ashamed, and that they lost their lives leaving wives, children, parents away from their land”. Thus the president of the Senate, Ignatius Russian, on the margin of the commemoration ceremony of the tragedy of Marcinelle. “The story of Marcinelle unlike many Italians who only met her and partially in 2001 thanks to Mirko Tremaglia Italian minister in the world – he continued – and then I was a group leader in the Chamber and urged us to recognize the date of August 8 as a date reminiscent of all the victims of Italian work in the world, I knew her even before, because my community has always celebrated her, even before that ceremony was established. There are those who, at that ceremony, for too many years had turned their backs, and someone who continues to do it,” he added.
FIDANZA “VERGOGNA CGIL CHE VOLTA LE SPALLE A LA RUSSA”
“The CGIL must be ashamed! This morning at the Bois du Cazier, during the official commemorations of the tragedy of Marcinelle, Well, the representatives of the CGIL turned back while the President of the Senate Ignazio The Russian read the message of the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella. The same did during the intervention of the Vice-President of the European Parliament Antonella Sberna. A pathetic and shameful gesture, which demonstrates a total lack of sense of the institutions, a blind hatred that today even overwhelms the President of the Republic. The left is dissociated by this scamp.” Carlo Fidanza, Head of Delegation of Brothers of Italy to the European Parliament, declares it on the margin of the commemoration ceremony of the victims of Marcinelle.
