Lombardia Progressista sifts through the electoral lists: “Disturbing result”
Milano – There are those who want to demolish the monuments built in the twenty years, there are those who propose changing the names of the streets named after the men of the Regime.
Of Luca Fazzo
And who goes even further, using electoral lists to raise a new alarm about the fascist resurgence: there are too many people called Benito around.
Never mind if in Spanish Benito means Benedict, if a martyr with this name is celebrated on 23 August; and patience, on the opposite side, if it was the luminous figure of Benito Juarez who made the name popular in the nineteenth century. Nothing to do. For the indignant people at the registry office, there was only one Benito, Mussolini. And that hundreds of Milanese (and probably a few thousand Italians) they persist in calling themselves the same as the Duce, without feeling the civic duty to run and get screwed, becomes a sign of the persistence of anti-democratic sentiments in the country.
One of the supporters of the "Progressive Lombardy" list took the trouble to go and sift through the electoral lists of Milan in search of the namesakes of the master from Predappio., the leftist wing of the coalition that supports Giorgio Gori's candidacy in the next regional elections. How he got the whim, Gori's fan doesn't explain it. But yesterday he published the results of his research on Facebook, under the symbol of your list. «I had the opportunity to consult – writes – the list of Milan voters and I looked for those who had Benito” in the proper name. This is the disturbing result". And off we go, with the detailed list: fortunately without surnames.
It turns out that the 4 March they will be called to the polls well 276 Milanese who were baptized simply Benito at the time of birth: and he goes to find out if it's a tribute to the Duce, to Juarez, to San Benito or something else. Then there is the detailed list of those who bear Benito along with other names. In some, the ideological choice appears difficult to contest: five electors were baptized Benito Adolfo, and to one – so that there were no doubts – his father gave Mussolini as his middle name. Perhaps also attributable to the figure of the Duce are the two Benito Arnaldos (Arnaldo was the leader's younger brother) and maybe even the three Benito Romanos. But crowding the rankings are a number of innocent citizens, who bear the hateful mark only as a second, third or even fourth name (there is a Francesco Gabriele Ferdinando Benito Romano): maybe it was his grandfather's name. And who brings it together with other protagonists of the country's history, like Mr. Valeriano Benito Nazario Sauro. But everything makes sense to launch the new alert: fascists are among us. And their name is Benito.
