Russian “I did not legitimize fascism. I said exactly the opposite, it is the story to decide”

ROMA (ITALPRESS) – “I said exactly the opposite. I said that then it is the story to say what is right and what is wrong, and it establishes who did well and who hurt.” Thus the president of the Senate, Ignatius Russian, responds in an interview with the newspaper Il Giornale about the accusations of legitimizing fascism with his words. The Russian states that the central theme of the debate “was not fascism” but “the popular vote”, taking the cue from a reflection of the jurist Gustavo Zagrebelsky, who had argued that the people can mistaken by citing the episode of the liberation of Barabba preferred to Jesus. “I believe that the people can be wrong – says the president of the Senate – but does not decree Zagrebelsky nor the decree I, nor decrees it each of us. The story decides.”.

Russian criticizes the jurist’s approach by observing: “It is not that we must do as Zagrebelsky, that when the people decide something that they like, then well the people, if instead decides something that is not good then I lower the people.” Reaffirmed on the historical judgment of fascism as a mistake, Russian states: “I believe that history has decided so, but this does not mean that fascism did not win the elections and that after the march on Rome it was not the people to decide that the regime had to go ahead.” The President of the Senate concludes by rejecting the controversies born of his statements: “I don’t understand why if I say these things, that are elementary considerations of common sense, one must open a controversy.”.
