Ignazio La Russa, President of the Senate, discusses the historical significance of the foibe tragedies and the subsequent Italian exile in an interview with Il Giornale as the anniversary approaches.
In a candid interview, Ignazio La Russa, the President of the Italian Senate, emphasized the importance of remembering the foibe tragedies and the associated mass exodus of Italians from their homeland. With the anniversary of the foibe remembrance day approaching, La Russa reflected on how over two decades ago, in 2004, the Italian Parliament established a day of remembrance for these tragic events, which had often been overlooked in the historical narrative. He noted that despite the sensitivity surrounding the topic, particularly from the left, there was a notable political consensus to formally recognize the suffering of many.
