The protest: “No to the stamp dedicated to the fascist Italo Foschi”

The condemnation without appeal of the Slc Cgil for the issue by the Italian Post Office of the stamp dedicated to the fascist and squad member Italo Foschi

ROME – “The Meloni Government chooses to celebrate the latter between the liberation of Rome from the Nazi-fascist occupation and the squadristi“. This is what Nicola Di Ceglie, National Secretary of Slc Cgil writes, who condemns without appeal the issuance by the Italian Post Office of the stamp dedicated to the fascist and squad member Italo Foschi, defining the operation “yet another forcing by a Government that tries to rewrite the history of the twentieth century by removing its determining element: the Liberation from Nazi-fascism”.
“While in these hours we remember the assassination of Giacomo Matteotti by the fascist squads – says the head of postal workers – the government of our country, at the same time, pays homage to those who shared that brutal murder. We condemn this shameful provocation – says Di Ceglie – because it is evidently an offense to his memory and to all the anti-fascists who gave their lives for the freedom and democracy of our country. We therefore ask that its distribution be blocked immediately and that the distributed copies be withdrawn”. br>For Di Ceglie it is a “premeditated strategy of overturning realityand the founding values of our democracy” is the summary of the Slc Secretary who talks about a figure, Italo Foschi “responsible for assaults and violence towards political opponents, loyal to Mussolini until the Republic of Salò, also known for having congratulated Matteotti’s assassins, defined as heroes”.
Finally, the Slc also points out how “< strong>The Ministry of Made in Italy, with that stamp, deliberately made an unacceptable choice by rejecting, by rejecting, the proposal of the Roman middle school students to issue a stamp to celebrate the eightieth anniversary of the date, 4 June 1944, in which American soldiers under the orders of General Mark Wayne Clark entered the city and liberated the capital from the Nazis and fascists”.
