“If it were for me April 25, or a date close to it, it should become not only a national holiday but a European holiday because the Resistance was not an exclusively Italian phenomenon, on the contrary”. Thus the Minister of Justice Carlo Nordio on “Che tempo che fa” on Rai3.
“I would make it a European celebration because the destruction, the defeat of Nazi-fascism is an element that must unify democracies”, he observed. On April 25, she concluded, “it has to be a unifying Feast and I would feel uneasy if someone contradicted this conception.”
Liberation “is a national heritage, it does not belong to one party or another”: the foreign minister said Antonio Tajani speaking at Zona Bianca on Rete4. Recalling Silvio Berlusconi’s speech in Onna on 25 April 2009, Tajani underlined how that speech was “a speech that looked to the future, a speech of national unity and peace, remembering who fought on the right side, that of freedom and the homeland , but also who was on the wrong side. I think that most Italians accepted that invitation”.
