"Shame on you and the principal", "Fascists, carrion: go back to the sewers". This was the warm welcome by the demonstrators of the Milan Antifascist Network and representatives of the ANPI and ADL Cobas and USB, for the Undersecretary for Education Paola Frassinetti at the Itis Molinari in Milan, where today a commemoration of Sergio Ramelli, the 19-year-old militant of the Youth Front killed in 1975, was organized. student of Molinari. Moments of tension when Frassinetti found herself a short distance from the protesters, in the parking lot of the school, divided by a police cordon in front of the gate of the institute. The protest demanded the resignation of the undersecretary.
"Sergio Ramelli was killed by those who called themselves anti-fascist", so there are many facets of anti-fascism. At that time militant anti-fascism was red-hot, I think that now everything has changed and that it is important to talk about freedom, participation and democracy", commented the person directly concerned, adding: "Who is for these values here I do not think can be called fascist".
"By the end of March, when Tinelli was killed, I will go to the Brera high school and bring flowers to the plaque that I had put when I was councilor", because Fausto Tinelli and Lorenzo "Iaio" Iannucci were "two boys killed while they were unarmed, who loved to do politics". The Undersecretary for Education continued, specifying that "we always talk a lot about memory, remembering these children I think is very important".
In short, according to Frassinetti "there is no difference in remembering innocent victims", but "there is never a protest when a murdered leftist boy is commemorated". As for the proposal, already put forward in the past by the Milanese right, to name the Itis Molinari after Ramelli, Frassinetti said that "in my opinion it would be right" to do so, but "the rules say that it is the School Council that decides. I don't want to force anything."
La Russa, president of the Senate, wanted to express "total and affectionate solidarity with Paola Frassinetti. I join his official memory of Sergio Ramelli to whom Milan, like many other Italian cities, dedicates a public place. In the small park in his name every year even the mayor Sala brings a wreath to the memorial stone that commemorates him. It is shameful, beyond any legitimate political position, the contestation of self-styled anti-fascists who would be better to qualify pretextually ignorant".
Subsequently, a note from the provincial ANPI of Milan appeared, which clarified that it did not participate "in the presidium in front of the Molinari Institute": wrote Roberto Cenati, president of the provincial office of the Lombard capital.
