Genoa, the bench with the European flag becomes Russian
Genoa – The bravado of some fool or a “signal” that could highlight a “criticality” on the Italian and Genoese commitment in favor of Ukraine. We investigate the episode that took place in Piazza Romagnosi, in Marassi, where a bench with the European flag was “repainted” with the colored Russian flag.
The bench, inaugurated on March 4, was defaced and the stars of the European Union flag were covered with red and white paint, which together with the remaining blue seemed to refer to the flag of the Russian Federation.
To tip the balance towards hypothesis the addition of a symbol very similar to the Z that we have seen appearing on the military vehicles of the Russian army in Ukraine and that some Russian personalities and civilians are exhibiting as a sign of support for the war.
“Vandal a bench – denounces the European Federalist Movement of Genoa – if it carries a message of civic value as in the case above all of this initiative, sponsored by the Lower Val Bisagno Municipality, is a cowardly act in itself, but even more serious if the ‘intent is to convey an opposite message to the values of a free, peaceful and democratic society. This despicable gesture makes it clear how much this war of aggression poses a threat to these values and how necessary it is to continue to support the Ukrainian people and Russian citizens against the war. Starting from this bench, which will soon be repainted “.
