In occasione del 65° Anniversario della Liberazione è nostro dovere ricordare tutti coloro che si sono sacrificati per la libertà e la democrazia ed è per me un onore condividere con voi oggi la memoria ed il significato di quei momenti anche a nome del Partito Democratico e del gruppo consiliare che rappresento.
Proprio in questi giorni il nostro presidente della Repubblica, Giorgio Napolitano, ha conferito una medaglia d’oro ad una compagnia teatrale di Milano, "Il Teatro della Cooperativa" actively engaged in the production of a show commemorating Galeotti Gina Bianchi, the partisan Lia.
Gina Bianchi Galeotti died after years of struggle against fascism, in the days of the Liberation of Milan. While eight months pregnant, "Leah" was traveling at Niguarda hospital where he was to meet some partisans wounded, who were patients there under false identification.
was mowed by a burst of machine gun, fired from a truck load of German soldiers on the run and ran into a roadblock partisan.
"When the baby will be born will be no more fascism!" Were his last words.
words, the actions of Leah and her tragic end symbolically represent the commitment of all the women involved in the struggle for the liberation of all the widows of killed partisans of all mothers of young experts in the roundups of all the Groups for young people involved in the assistance to the combatants. In the district of
Niguarda, Milan, the women of his courts played a crucial role. Niguarda was freed April 24, 1945, one day in advance at Milan. And it was that day that the guerrilla was killed Lia.
Together with Lia, Gina Bianchi Galeotti, we should remember the story of our Maria Erminia Gecchele, that Lena , Tortured and raped by the fascists, left invalid by the injuries. A Lena have been awarded two crosses of war and the degree of honorary captain for the value and courage.
Two events to that of Leah and Lena, although geographically distant, very near and adjacent to their sense of history and their intrinsic value. Two stories of resistance to women, two episodes of the Liberation from mother's face but just as heroic as a basis for authentic and memorable in their testimony.
"When the baby will be born again fascism!" Were the last words of Leah, the last hope of a life spent for others, last yearning for freedom we have, thanks to them, hard-won. And after them
the Argentine mothers of the Plaza de Mayo in Buenos Aires thirty years come every Thursday to remind the rulers of the moment the shame of a country without truth, for justice, holding pictures of their children tortured and "disappeared" in military prisons.
also remember them on this day a symbol of all struggles for freedom, their daily efforts to the memory, to heed their demands, their words of mothers and women.
Who knows what words he could utter the poor Neda, the Iranian girl brutally killed by the militia of the dictatorship of Ahmadinejad, fall under the eyes of the cameras, the eyes of our world contemporaneo.Neda albeit in a different time and in a country far defended the same values \u200b\u200bof our partisan, with pride and courage, ideally deployed alongside Leah, Lena, and Argentine mothers, in a battle for freedom that apparently knows no boundaries, historical periods and cultures, and that's up to us and our children to keep alive.
