If the ANPI has forgotten who Renato Curcio is, we remind them

A crazy story that is still sparking indignation. Everyone is “good”, even the sowers of death, as long as they have anti-fascist blood in their veins and, possibly, a partisan relative. The founder of the Red Brigades Renato Curcio could also be suitable, ideologist of an acronym that has sown blood and terror in our country, to receive an “award” in an official ceremony: a parchment from the Anpi. The event was canceled thanks to an indignant and unanimous protest from the entire centre-right, otherwise the massacre would have occurred on Saturday 15 December, with the mayor of Orsara di Puglia to reward the Red Brigades member with a plaque from the National Partisan Association. At the end he also gave a "lesson" on social problems. Among the many "merits" that the various champions of democracy - mayor and Anpi - recognize in Curcio is having had his uncle Armando a partisan: the intention was in fact to «remember the sacrifice of Armando Curcio, partisan who died in the war, Renato's uncle", it is written in the mayor's note. That the protests of the center-right exponents had the effect of stopping the mayor's crazy initiative and in some way also induced the ANPI to distance itself from it, not without embarrassment, it doesn't erase the confusion , anger.

Everything took place in the total silence of the intellectuals who give lessons in democracy every day, they warn us of the return of fascism and various mischief. Which democracy does the mayor of Orsara di Puglia represent?, Tommaso Lecce who was preparing to reward one of the leaders of the armed struggle group who, from the far left, set the years of lead ablaze, saying he wanted to overthrow the state? Today Curcio is a publisher and lecturer, but in his "previous life" he was the head of a subversive and bloody association that killed, kidnapped, knee-high, claimed responsibility for the killings. An irreducible man who has never dissociated himself from the season of armed struggle over the years 25 years in prison.

Curcio was part of the first Executive Committee of the Red Brigades established in 1972, together with Alberto Franceschini, Mario Moretti and Piero Morlacchi. Among the actions claimed by the BR were the murder of Graziano Giralucci and Giuseppe Mazzola, militants of the Italian Social Movement 17 June 1974, killed in the party headquarters in via Zabarella in Padua. Curcio, convicted as instigator of those murders, he wrote the claim leaflet together with the other leaders of the BR . Arrested, escaped and rearrested several times, il 10 maggio 1978, the day after the Moro murder, at the Lamarmora barracks in Turin, where the trial of some of the historical leaders of the BR was held, Renato Curcio took the floor and through a statement celebrated the death of the secretary of the DC with these words: «This is why we maintain that the act of revolutionary justice exercised by the Red Brigades against the political criminal Aldo Moro, (…), it is the highest act of humanity possible for communist and revolutionary proletarians, in this class-divided society".

Still. In August 1991, Francesco Cossiga, president of the Republic, proposed to grant pardon to Renato Curcio. Marco Pannella denounced the Head of State for an attack on the Constitution 26 November 1991 starting a debate that involved the entire political world. Montanelli, shot down by the Red Brigades, furiously denounced Cossiga's initiative. Giralucci's daughter, Silvia, he wrote a public letter to President Cossiga himself: «Grace is an injustice that offends us, and as family members of victims of terrorism, than as private citizens. My mother and I had already expressed a negative opinion on the pardon […] Our life was profoundly affected by that episode, it is an incomplete life, not normal. Because we must grant a normal life to those who did not allow ours to be such? They have destroyed and irreversibly marked too many lives to have the right to enjoy theirs. Failure noted, they would like, and she with them, consider their experience historically outdated, but my pain and that of my family is not yet history, it's life". These are words that today we turn to the mayor of Lecce and to the Anpi.
What more can I say? This is not someone who has violated and bloodied democratic institutions, evidently, for intellectuals with Rolexes. Mayor Tommaso Lecce, by popular acclaim, canceled everything and even the Anpi distanced itself after a short time, declaring herself extraneous to the matter:"We're not even invited", says Michele Galante, President of the association Foggia, who took it out on the mayor: «We are completely strangers to this demonstration. The mayor of Orsara can deliver a recognition as an institution but not as an Anpi because he has no legitimacy to do so. The Municipality's behavior is incorrect".
