Instrumentalization is a nasty beast. Especially when it is used heavily. And in Bologna, the center-left leaders, the quartet Schlein-Conte-Bonelli-Fratoianni with the support of Salis (Silvia, the mayor of Genoa), showed what the side effects of a wrong dose of twisting facts for mere propaganda purposes can be, turning the August 2 celebrations into a sort of primary election, competing in the “race” to see who can exaggerate the most.
After all, this center-left is consciously trying to turn the August 2 celebrations into their personal April 25. “Those who govern must fully interpret and fully implement the sentences. Which have established the neo-fascist origin of a subversive terrorist massacre, carried out with the collaboration of deviant apparatuses,” thunders the PD secretary, Elly Schlein, bringing into play the Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni.

PALAZZO CHIGI AT WORK
“The government will continue to do its part in the complex path that must be pursued to shed full light on the massacres that have bloodied Italy in the post-war period,” says the Prime Minister, “the process of delivering declassified documents to the Central State Archive constitutes a decisive step, which the Presidency of the Council is carrying out in a spirit of collaboration with the associations of the victims’ families.” Even more clear is the President of the Senate, Ignazio La Russa.
“It is necessary to remember that the judicial truth has definitively attributed the responsibility for this horrible massacre to the ‘fascist matrix.’ It is equally necessary to join the request coming from many sides (including Schlein, ed.) to continue the search for the complete truth. We owe it to Italy.” But for the center-left leaders, all this is not enough, it is not functional to their narrative. “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 convictions that have confirmed the neo-fascist matrix of the Bologna massacre. Do you want to deny them?” writes, annoyed, on social media the M5S president, Giuseppe Conte, as if the premier had disavowed the judicial truth. Among other things, Giuseppi forgets that as Prime Minister he had never spoken of matrix or responsibility. Something that Giorgia Meloni had done two years ago, speaking of “neo-fascist organizations.”

RED-GREEN DELIRIUMS
And then Angelo Bonelli and Nicola Fratoianni of Avs cannot be missing from the call, for whom the government is always at fault, regardless, to quote Totò. “Meloni once again chooses to speak generically of ‘terrorism,’ avoiding remembering that the August 2, 1980 massacre was neo-fascist. It is not a forgetfulness: it is a political choice,” comments Bonelli. “Never forget what happened that day at the hands of fascists. Those who try to rewrite history should not delude themselves: they did not succeed in 1980, they will not succeed today either,” echoes Fratoianni, emphasizing how it is necessary to remember “the subversive action of the neo-fascists.” Finally, Salis (Silvia), present in Bologna: “This clock stopped at 10:25 reminds us that the antibodies of democracy must be trained and we must always be alert against those who fan people’s fears because 10:25 can be anywhere and at any time.” How to instrumentalize a final sentence, trying to hold primaries.
