ANPI's hatred against Norma Cossetto

It is shocking to see the rancor that the National Association of Italian Partisans has dedicated to the commemorations of Norma Cossetto, an Istrian student raped and then thrown into a sinkhole by Yugoslavian communist partisans in the terrible days following the political, military and institutional collapse of Italy following September 8. Immediately after the institution of the Day of Remembrance with Law 92/2004, there were moments of civil confrontation between the associations of the Adriatic diaspora (with the support of the President of the National Association of Venezia Giulia and Dalmatia, Senator Lucio Toth) and the ANPI, with particular reference to the complicated plot that was recorded at...

Similar controversies had also been raised last year, with the same organizing group as the protagonist. But not in relation to a conference like the one planned for...

Foibe, trouble for the Anpi. The exiles report the denialist post to the prosecutor

by Elena Barlozzari - 01/03/2019 Source: Il Giornale The Julian-Dalmatian exiles report to the prosecutor's office the denialist post that appeared on the Facebook page of the Anpi of Rovigo "It would be nice to explain to middle school kids that the foibe were invented by the fascists, both as a system to make the Yugoslav partisans disappear, and as a historical invention. Like the shameful nonsense of the Basovizza foiba". That post, which appeared last January on the Facebook page of the Anpi Rovigo and was written with the presumption of someone who thinks he has the truth in his pocket, ultimately turned out to be a boomerang. If until a few years ago, in fact, mystifying, reducing,...
