The grotesque statements made by Ilaria Salis against the June 2nd Celebration continue to spark debate. The Avs MEP, in a social media post, argued that the military parade at the Imperial Forums on the occasion of Republic Day should be abolished. In a period marked by “rearmament, militarism, and increasingly close wars,” it would be necessary to “abolish the military parade of June 2nd” and restore to Republic Day its “original civil, popular, and democratic character,” she wrote.
Salis’s words not only aroused Meloni’s indignation but also embarrassed even the leader of Avs, Angelo Bonelli, who promptly distanced himself: “I don’t agree. It is not the party’s position.”
Ilaria Salis, Angelo Bonelli distances himself: “Abolish the parade? It’s not Avs’s position”
Even Angelo Bonelli distances himself from Ilaria Salis. The Avs MEP had led the crusade against the military parade…
Now, Corrado Augias has also sided against the left’s fake pacifism, accusing it of having left too many issues in the hands of the right, issues on which attention should instead be focused. “It’s true,” said the writer, “that the parade included units of various arms, latest-generation drones, means capable of offense. If we want to ensure territorial defense, it is necessary that there are weapons, especially at a time when the American shield has reduced its scope and old Europe has to do a bit on its own. However, those who actually saw the parade could observe that alongside the military units, there were mayors, the Red Cross and Red Cross nurses, firefighters, dogs trained for search and rescue under rubble, civil protection volunteers, veterans and disabled people, infantrymen in the old ’15-’18 uniforms, those deeply rooted popular corps such as the Alpini, especially in the northern regions, and the Bersaglieri in Rome.”

“Those who paraded,” Augias reminds Salis, “were the various articulations of a country that intervenes in war zones with maintenance tasks for the many ephemeral truces, men and women who dedicate themselves at home when a disaster, a flood, an earthquake endangers lives and property. MEP Salis’s position can only be explained based on an ideological placement… I imagine that in reiterating her refusal, the Honorable Salis felt invested by that left-wing purity that does not only concern the June 2nd parade.”

Salis, understood as Ilaria, patron saint of other people’s homes, writes on social media that «it would take the courage to carry out…»
And again: “After the collapse of fascism and the regained democracy, the Italian left, including the democratic one, allowed too many issues to become a monopoly of the right. Love of country, military valor (Cephalonia, El Alamein), Istrian refugees, the victims of the Foibe massacres. It took the energetic action of President Ciampi for some of these errors to begin to be remedied. In any case, these were serious errors because there is a feeling of belonging in the country that the right, particularly the neo-fascist one, expresses in terms of nationalist sovereignism, but which instead presents aspects perfectly compatible with a democratic and republican vision. The founding fathers and mothers realized this in 1947, a few months after the fall of fascism, and all the more reason we should be aware of it eighty years later…”
