On the day of the 46th anniversary of the Bologna massacre – today, Sunday, August 2 – the prime minister Giorgia Meloni recalled how on that occasion terrorism launched one of its most ferocious attacks. It struck at the heart of the entire nation, with an attack that disintegrated Bologna station, killing 85 people and injuring over two hundred.” This is what the President of the Council Giorgia Meloni wrote on social media. “What happened on August 2, 1980, represents one of the darkest and most dramatic pages in national history. Today we join, once again, the families of the victims and all the people of Bologna in this day of mourning and commemoration.”

Clear, sharp words from the FdI leader. Yet, those words drive the left crazy, ready to do anything to attack her. Indeed, because the progressive front protests, rises up, claiming that Meloni did not recognize the neo-fascist origin of the massacre. First and foremost Giuseppe Conte: “What does ‘terrorism’ mean? There is terrorism inspired by religious fundamentalism, ethnic-based terrorism, separatist terrorism, and finally, there is the terrorism that raged in Italy inspired by ideological and political motivations, with far-right and far-left formations – the M5s leader prefaces -. Giorgia Meloni, which ‘terrorism’ are you referring to? When a Prime Minister speaks to the country, she does not create confusion. You know well that there are final court convictions that confirmed the neo-fascist origin of the Bologna massacre. Do you want to deny them?”, Conte concludes his outburst on social media. Indeed, what does “terrorism” mean…

Thus, from the Pd side, Chiara Braga, the Democratic group leader in the Chamber, makes her voice heard: “The massacre of August 2, 1980, was not only the most serious massacre committed in our country since the post-war period. It was a wound to democracy, carried out by subversive terrorism of neo-fascist origin with the complicity of deviant state apparatuses,” the Democrat stated. And again: “The determination in the search for truth by the victims’ families, the civic memory of a city that knew how to unite in defending memory and demanding justice, the work of the judiciary and institutions that over these long years have resisted even attempts at misdirection and pursuing unfounded reconstructions, have allowed reaching a definitive sentence that all politics and institutions must recognize without the hesitations and omissions that unfortunately we are witnessing even now from the same President of the Council. Today in Bologna, the democratic, peaceful, and emotional participation of a city and a country paid tribute to the victims of that terrible massacre and once again affirmed the constitutional values that we must protect to make our democracy stronger,” Braga concludes.

Of course, the ever-present Angelo Bonelli also had his say: “On the day of the anniversary of the Bologna massacre, Giorgia Meloni once again chooses to speak generically of ‘terrorism,’ avoiding recalling that the August 2, 1980 massacre was neo-fascist, as confirmed by final court sentences. It is not an oversight: it is a political choice,” the Green party member thundered. And again: “The 85 victims and over 200 injured deserve a memory based on truth, not on generic formulas that erase historical responsibilities. The President of the Council cannot commemorate the victims without having the courage to pronounce the word neo-fascism. This omission comes as attempts multiply to rewrite history and question the definitive sentences on the Bologna massacre. The silence of the President of the Council thus ends up offering cultural support to revisionism.” Finished? Not yet: “It is evident Meloni’s continuous chase for the far-right consensus, even pursuing Vannacci’s positions. But the memory of the Bologna massacre cannot be sacrificed to an electoral calculation. Those who lead the government of the Republic have the duty to clearly state that the August 2, 1980 massacre was neo-fascist. Judicial truth does not bend to political convenience and history is not rewritten by omitting the words that scare the most,” concludes Angelo Bonelli.
