Nobody remembers the appeal for Battisti anymore

Many, Today, embarrassed by the murderer's toasts and "slaps" to Italy Cesare Battisti, arrested and immediately released in Brazil, they prefer to remain silent. But many, among intellectuals or pseudo-tellects, in Italy and abroad, in the ranks of the left, for years they protected, defended and signed appeals in favor of that vile terrorist, convicted of murder and fled abroad, who with the excuse of books takes refuge behind an alleged political persecution. From the top of four murders, two direct and two indirect, dozens of robberies and a man sentenced to life in a wheelchair, in the name of militancy in the group of "Armed proletarians for communism".

The appeal of the big left in favor of Cesare Battisti

In the 2004, when Battisti was arrested in France, an appeal was made by dozens of left-wing intellectuals who elected him as an icon of freedom. “From the moment of his escape from Italy, first in Mexico and then in France, Cesare Battisti dedicated himself to an intense literary activity, centered on the rethinking of the experience of radical antagonism which involved hundreds of thousands of young Italians and which often resulted in armed struggle. His work as a whole is an extraordinary and unparalleled reflection on the 1970s, which no political force that has governed Italy from that time to today has dared to attempt"? Scandalous.How scandalous they were the signatures at the bottom of that appeal, including writers and artists such as Massimo Carlotto, Tiziano Scarpa, Nanni Balestrini, Daniel Pennac, Giuseppe Genna, Vauro, Pino Cacucci, the left-wing parliamentarians Paolo Cento and Giovanni Russo Spena. A fan of Cesare Battisti is certainly Carla Bruni, who had to deny a direct intervention on President Lula to prevent the terrorist's extradition from Brazil. Which in France enjoyed great support, from writers Bernard-Henry Lévy to Fred Vargas, which also supports him financially, it still seems. And maybe he toasts his health and his freedom, like many other Italian comrades…
