Cent'anni dalla parte sbagliata
Reporting of Federici Studies Center
We report an interview that Bruno Segre released to the newspaper “La Stampa” for his hundredth birthday. The errors of secularism and anticlericalism emerge in the responses in a transversal way (like the Masonic sects that have always professed and spread these errors) they are present in the programs of several Italian parties, from far left to far right.
They are the errors that fought and overthrew the social kingdom of Christ, the only reference that a Catholic should have in the political and social sphere. In the interview Segre defends the divorce, euthanasia and civil unions, accuses the Catholic Church of "inadmissible privileges" and hopes for an increasingly stronger public school system (against denominational schools). The lawyer ends the meeting with a petty blasphemous expression. Our wish for him is to get on the right side at least in the last days of his life, to avoid the eternal mortal embrace with that Satan who, in his long life, he contributed to reigning in the Italian state.
Bruno Segre: “My battles for rights in Turin with a thousand faces”. One hundred years of the lawyer, a life of political and civil commitment (interview by Alberto Sinigaglia, The Press of 3/9/2018, pag. 25)
He interviewed Magnani and Totò, Josephine Baker naked and the "teacher with the red pen" dressed: Bruno Segre dreamed of being a journalist, it seemed like a good job to him. But he chose to be a lawyer and was the first to defend a conscientious objector. He started in 1949 twenty years of battles that would have established that right. Then, alongside Loris Fortuna, worked towards the introduction of divorce. Tomorrow he turns one hundred years of a high intensity life: friendship with Natalia Ginzburg in high school, the meetings with Pavese, graduating with Luigi Einaudi, the humiliations of the racial laws, anti-fascism, two arrests, the escape, the bullet stopped by the cigarette case, prison in the political slaughterhouse in Via Asti, free thought as faith and mission. How many things he has seen change? Energetic and lucid, it starts from Turin, where he was a municipal councilor elected in 1975 in the ranks of the PSI, when eighteen-year-olds voted for the first time. Objectives achieved: September Music, Green dots, Summer guys. Dreamed goals: two subway lines.
