ROME – “I am ‘anti-fascist’, can you say?“. It was supposed to be the first Concertone without monologues, but in the end there was no shortage of speeches from the most important stage of May Day in Rome. Dalla ‘stoccata’ by Dargen D’amico on Rai to Noemi’s speech on women’s wages. Talking about work, deaths at work and pronouncing the word ‘anti-fascist’ on stage (at 10pm) is the writer and author Stefano Massini who then performed with Paolo Jannacci in the song ‘L’uomo nel flash’. Massini is a contributor to the newspaper Repubblica, and a well-known television face for his Thursday stories on the Piazzapulita program on La7.

“There are 50/60,000 of you tonight, beautiful to look at but also terrible to look at. There are as many of you as there are deaths at work. For a country that is a Republic founded on work , every person who dies at work is a catastrophe carnage, a massacreWe should be scandalized by the death of so many workers, but by that of everyone Every time everyone dies at work it is a disaster, yes I am against this massacre. I’m anti-fascist, can you say? – the author provokes – There is an S, I didn’t say anti-fascist, because today if you say anti- fascist the Digos identifies you, if you allow me, since I they had dozens of papers signed saying that I took responsibility, I would like to tell the Digos: identify them all”. There were many shouts of approval from those who were listening to him.

The writer continues: “In Italy when you die at work, you die three times: the first when you die, the second when they tell you that it was your fault, the third time is when it doesn’t matter nobody gives a damn and they make a short article in the newspaper In Italy you can die two, three, four times, the fourth is when you realize that you die in vain and you become a photograph“.
