Pomicino: Berlinguer sons are right to say no
"Enrico Berlinguer's sons are right to oppose the decision of the Terracina city council to name a square after Enrico Berlinguer and Giorgio Almirante together. Two different and irreconcilable stories at least on official grounds. It is also right to remember on this occasion that Berlinguer and Almirante were two authoritative representatives of two cultures that in the twentieth century only produced misery and death, annulling all freedom of thought and speech ".
Thus in a statement the former minister Paolo Cirino Pomicino.
"Today that the losers of history are trying to rewrite it in a completely different way - he concludes - it is right to remember that Italy regained freedom on April 25, 1945 but defended it definitively on April 18, 1948 with the great victory of Democracy Christian. All the rest is crap. "
