a minute. Sixty seconds can make a big difference. Especially if it's the time of memory and silence, paid tribute to Italian soldiers killed last week in Afghanistan. And if that moment is not observed for political reasons. As was the case in the municipal council Atestino Wednesday, when the exponent of the Communist Refoundation Gaudenzio Checco Candeo decided to leave the room not to participate in the commemoration of the two fallen. The decision caused an outcry from many political leaders of the parties of the center right.
'Council and Rifondazione demonstrated by these methods - cut short Mr Paola Goisis League - to be removed from the territory and the facts that touch people really closely. Preach always very good and they talk about values, but when the time comes to commemorate the death of two young dissociate and give life to these demonstrations. "
bluntly well Filippo Ascierto, deputy coordinator of Padua and the People of Freedom, which strongly attacked the party Candeo. "Unfortunately - says the parliament - is still around any community that is outside of history and that is conceived with decades-old categories." "It's a minority of irresponsible and hypocritical, by their attitude, become supporters of Al Qaeda and the Taliban - Ascierto accusation - an attitude that offends those guys who, with a choice of life courageous, have decided to support the people who are suffering from years of war. "
"The only city council to intervene against Candeo was me - and then highlights Gianfranco Fornasiero, involved in a spat with the director of Rc in that situation - I'm surprised that the prime minister Boris Sartori has not taken place. The choice of Candeo is despicable, a very serious thing going to affect the commitment of our troops in peace missions. " It also returns to the question
Gaudenzio Candeo, Checco said. "I firmly believe - reaffirms the exponent of RC - that the Italians can no longer make the gesture hypocritical of the minute of silence on these occasions. Looking for a solution? The solution exists and is well within reach, just call up the troops immediately. " Candeo rejects accusations of cynicism and explains the distinction between political and private grief pain. "We're not here to talk about so much pain - he says - what they feel the relatives of those guys can not prove anybody. Neither I nor the President of the Republic nor the members of the City Council Este, because we're not talking about pain, but a political gesture. Again, the solution is to immediately withdraw our soldiers, so we solve everything. "
