More mud on Brothers of Italy after the outrage of Marcinelle. The Belgian union Fgtb takes responsibility for the protest at the commemoration, following the controversy over the gesture by the Cgil, accused of turning their backs while the President of the Senate Ignazio La Russa was reading the message from the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella.
“All the comrades of the Fgtb turned around – said Vincent Pestieau, regional secretary of the union in Charleroi, speaking to journalists – because we are against the presence of fascist parties and for us here in Belgium Fdi is a far-right party”.

“And so – Pestieau added – for us their presence is not a good thing, especially in a very important place for Italian immigration. Because if Italians came to work here it is also because of fascism, fascism during the Second World War. That is why we do not agree with the presence of Fdi”. The leader of the Fgtb then wants to clarify that their protest was in no way directed at President Mattarella. “It is only because Ignazio La Russa went to speak on behalf of the Italian government and La Russa for us is someone from Fdi. So we did this because we are against the presence of all fascist parties, whether from Belgium or Italy”. And even after these words from the left and especially from the Cgil no word.
