Feltre and Belluno, on the day of Remembrance leaflets that equate yellow stars and green pass. The conviction of Zaia and Massaro

The creepy combination appeared in dozens of printed sheets, stuck on trees and walls. Zaia: «A sad choice, in general dissent we need civilization».

BELLUNO. A combination that makes you shiver, ignoble. In the centers of Belluno and Feltre. This morning, Thursday 27 January, posters appeared that make a parallel between the Shoah and the green pass. Above a six-pointed yellow star that distinguished Jews during the Nazi period, under a QR code that recalls the green pass currently needed to carry out numerous daily chores and to go to work. In the middle the sentence “Why it didn’t happen in vain. We must not be hypocrites. Discrimination today is more relevant than ever “. Alongside the dates: January 27, 1945 – January 27, 2022. A parallelism that smacks of provocation, on the day when all of Italy celebrates the Day of Remembrance, not to forget the victims of the Holocaust.

In Feltre some leaflets were posted which attracted the attention of the police who activated the necessary checks. Same thing in Belluno, with reports from Baldenich, along via Feltre and in piazza Castello.

“Instrumentalizing the memory of an epochal martyrdom that was perpetrated in the concentration camps to protest against a vaccine, which is not compulsory, is a very sad choice”, comments the president of the Region. Luca Zaia. “Freedom of expression and thought is untouchable, because fortunately we are in a democracy – adds Zaia – but any dissent must be expressed with civility, something that was absolutely lacking in this episode”.

The reaction of the mayor of Belluno is very hard, Jacopo Massaro“What happened today, Memorial Day, is intolerable and unacceptable: a city that has been awarded the Gold Medal for the struggle for the liberation of Italy from the Nazi occupation and the fascist regime cannot fail to be indignant at those leaflets, distributed and posted in the city, which despise and tarnish the memory of those who died in concentration camps due to Nazi and Fascist hatred and of all those who suffered from a true, cruel and senseless persecution ». «I immediately instructed the Local Police – continues Massaro – to remove the leaflets on display and to seize them to identify the authors and proceed with any criminal complaints; of course, we also interested the police. Everyone is free to express their opinions, but it is not tolerable that one despises and exploits one of humanity’s greatest tragedies for propaganda: this episode emphasizes even more the need to study history and to celebrate the Day of Remembrance for remember its deep meaning. ”
