«It is disconcerting and alarming to see how an association that prides itself on passing on history and memory publicly denies, through social media, a tragedy as huge as that of Headquarters in the name of an ideology now followed by a few nostalgic Bolsheviks" Thus Luciano Sandonà, Regional councilor of the Zaia President groupe, responds via a note "to the controversy raised by a Facebook post published by Anpi section of Rovigo, in which the association of Rodigina partisans spoke of the Foibe as "an invention" of the fascists used to make people disappear the Yugoslav partisans.

«Basovizza is a lie»

“The Anpi of Rovigo cited the Foiba of Basovizza, speaking of it as a 'shameful lie' - continues Sandonà - not only did he deny a tragedy that is still too little known and condemned today, but it shamefully trampled on the memory of the innocent victims barbarically massacred in the karst sinkholes and of all those citizens of Italian origin of the Venezia Giulia, Istria and Dalmatia cforced to leave their homes to avoid the atrocious persecution of the troops of the Marshal Josip Broz Tito“. “A drama, that of the infoibati, shamefully 'forgotten' for political reasons by our institutions for too many decades, until the dutiful creation of Remembrance Day. It is worrying to see how denialism is still so strong – concludes Zaia's Advisor President – ​​and that, just to protect a political ideology, do not hesitate to ignore the 11 thousand people who died in those sinkholes which they define as a "historical invention"".
