“The city of Turin was awarded the gold medal for military valor in May 1959, and to the province, in 2005, President Ciampi awarded the Gold Medal to the Resistance. It is with these authoritative credentials that democratic Turin today rejects attempts to support the fifth column of Putinism which wants, by falsifying and manipulating the reality of facts, to represent aggression against Ukraine as a result of Russophobia syndrome. Mayor Lo Russo would do well to distance himself from the conference, which was cancelled, which was supposed to be held in Polo del ‘900”. That’s Osvaldo Napoli, from the national secretariat of Action. “This is not a question – Napoli underlines – of censoring Professor D’Orsi, whose ideas circulate freely and are collected in dozens of books. It is a question of preventing the conference from becoming a pretext to give space to those who are always opposed and afraid of ideas. It is not Russophobia that we want to fight, but Europhobia that we want to spread. It is democratic Turin that says ‘no’ to those who want to tarnish its history”.
