ROME (ITALPRESS) – Act of vandalism overnight at the Foiba monument in Basovizza, Trieste. Offensive writings with red paint appeared on the square in front of the monument, just hours before the Day of Remembrance, which is celebrated tomorrow to commemorate the victims of the foibe.
There was unanimous condemnation from political forces, in first the presidents of the Senate and House of Representatives, Ignazio La Russa and Lorenzo Fontana. Council Speaker Giorgia Meloni stressed how “the foiba of Basovizza is a sacred place, a national monument, to be honored with silence and prayer. To outrage Basovizza, moreover with repugnant inscriptions that recall dramatic pages of our history, is not only to trample on the memory of the martyrs of the foibe but to outrage the entire nation. What happened is an act of unprecedented gravity, which cannot go unpunished,” Meloni concluded.
