25 April, Piantedosi: ‘Distraction tactics in Milan’

Milan, 28 April (LaPresse) – “Defensive measures” such as “flags or the maintenance of public order”: the Minister of the Interior, Matteo Piantedosi, at the conference entitled ‘Victims of Hate’, organised by the Observatory for Security Against Discriminatory Acts (Oscad) of the Central Directorate for Criminal Police, speaking about the removal of the Jewish Brigade from the parade on 25 April in Milan. “Let us reflect so that this does not happen again,” he stated, “and I reaffirm our total commitment and dedication to protecting the Jewish community from any form of discrimination.” “25 April is a unifying day because it marks the beginning of a life no longer based on relations governed by violence,” he said, “yet these tools, which I find contradictory, are being used.” “People think of diversionary tactics, flags or the maintenance of public order by the police,” he emphasised. “They are unaware of the Jewish Brigade’s glorious contribution to the liberation.”
