Where the dem Matteo Lepore did not arrive, who unfortunately has risen high on many occasions and will fly even in the future, the colleague Valentina Cuppi arrived, also a dem mayor but of the Bolognese Marzabotto (sadly known for the massacre), who on Wednesday, September 23, on the stage of the municipal theater, will confer honorary citizenship to the non-lawyer pro-Pal Francesca Albanese. In another theater, in Ravenna, last year the red UN rapporteur had mocked the mayor, also a dem, because he had allowed himself to also remember the victims of Hamas.

It is from that moment that the mayor of Bologna, who had already approved the granting of citizenship, was forced to backtrack: Albanese’s clumsy outburst had split the PD, which from that moment tried to keep the lady at a proper distance, who however continues to be in the running thanks to the Green Left Alliance.
HOW IT WENT
It was December 5 when Lepore reiterated that “the revocation of the citizenship provision is not an option, because it is motivated by the role played for Palestine and the United Nations.” The text continued: “As far as we are concerned, now we turn the page and focus on other things, with commitment and dedication. We leave the instrumentalizations to others, with no losers or winners.” However, in the end, no date was set on the calendar. Before getting to Cuppi’s statements, let’s remember who she is. In 2013, in the political elections, she was a candidate for the Chamber from Left Ecology and Freedom – the leader was Nichi Vendola – but she was not elected.
THE DISAPPOINTMENTS
In 2020 the then party secretary, Nicola Zingaretti, proposed her for the position of president of the party’s national assembly in place of Paolo Gentiloni, a position then obtained. In the 2022 political elections, the PD nominated her in the Emilia Romagna 02 constituency but once again she was not elected.

“I am not interested in controversies,” said the mayor of Marzabotto in these hours, “I consider the reasons for the granting absolutely valid and I confirm them.”
The curiosity is that the former mayor of Marzabotto, Andrea De Maria – now a dem deputy – had asked the Municipality of Bologna to revoke the same recognition.
This time, however, he did not want to comment. The ceremony will take place before the presentation of the book “The Light of Awakening. From Palestine to the whole world, a manifesto of resistance and freedom,” which could be the vehicle to tour the country in campaign mode, since next year the mandate as a Palestine expert will expire.
THE PRAISE
The book, we read on the Marzabotto Municipality’s internet page, “has the momentum of a manifesto and the feeling of a work of love: Palestine offers the world a glimmer of light that invites opening eyes and acting.” We almost forgot, perhaps due to the desire to remove it from the mind, when Mrs. Albanese, after the assault by the Askatasuna social center on the La Stampa headquarters in Turin, spoke of a “warning for the press.” Instead, we do not forget, nor do we want to, that some deputies of the Green Left Alliance regularly march with the Askatasuna social center.
