** 25 April: Montagna (Anpi Lombardia), ‘Foreign body born in Resistance, good Pagliarulo’ **

“I don’t think it’s inappropriate to say that NATO has nothing to do with April 25 and the Resistance: NATO wasn’t there and it didn’t fight that historical phase, what’s the point of associating it with the Resistance?”. To tell the Adnkronos is Tullio Montagna, president of Anpi Lombardia, commenting on the words of the president of the Anpi, Gianfranco Pagliarulo, who presenting the national demonstration of April 25 in Milan defined the NATO flags as “inappropriate”. “I agree with the words of the president of the Anpi – underlines Montagna -. I find the idea of ​​including NATO in the celebrations of April 25 rather bizarre because it is a foreign body”. Montagna hopes that there are no frictions or accidents in Milan. “It is difficult to guess the moods of the crowds – he observes – but I don’t think this is a topic that could provoke strong divisions within the event”.
