The president of the Pagliarulo Partisans Association: “NATO is not a pacifist acronym”. Dureghello (Jewish Community of Rome): “Incoherent and instrumental”
Gianfranco Pagliarulopresident of the Anpi, presents himself at a press conference to illustrate the celebrations of the Liberation Day and sculpts a series of sentences about the conflict between Russia and Ukraine that trigger the controversy.
–
Pagliarulo states that he has always been on the side of those who have suffered the aggression, Ukraine, thus moving away thereand criticisms that have rained down on the National Association of Partisans for having been very shy about the Russian invasion. Then, however, she reaffirms the position against the rearmament of Ukraine because «it could lead to a catastrophe», Sends a jab to presidente Zelensky because there too «there are democratic voids: the Ukrainian president has dissolved a dozen opposition parties recently“. And then he makes it clear that “it would be wrong to identify the Italian resistance with the Ukrainian resistance”.
–
In this context, those who ask for the iinitiative of the Jewish Brigade to want parade with NATO flagsPagliarulo replies: “They are inappropriate. I don’t think it’s apacifist association“. On the controversy with the Jewish community, he tries to extend his hand: “I will send a letter to Mrs. Dureghello (president of the Jewish Community of Rome, ndr) asking for a meeting. We are always open ».
–
The attempt failed, because Dureghello replied immediately: «The controversy with the Anpi on 25 April it has become boring ». For the president of the Jewish Community of Rome “it is curious that no has been said to the NATO flags and yes to the Palestinian ones: it means that there is a theme not only of inconsistency, but also of political instrumentality“. The controversy, therefore, explodes. A few minutes and he intervenes Davide Romanor, director of the Museum of the Jewish Brigade of Milan: «I heard Pagliarulo’s press conference with dismay and with pain I have to define yours hypocritical words: he cannot say he is against Putin’s invasion and at the same time criticizing the Ukrainian rearmament. The Russian army has been destroying Ukraine for 50 days. Not arming Kiev means allowing the continuation of this foul rape of an entire country before the eyes of the world ».
–
The world of politics also criticizes the Anpi. Andrea Marcucci (Pd) is peremptory: “I do not agree with the position of the Anpi.” Annamaria Bonfrisco (Lega): “This is how they damage the memory of the Italians and the Resistance.” Massimiliano Iervolino (Italian Radicals) hopes that on April 25 “all flags will be welcome, from NATO to that of Ukraine”.
