25.04.2025 ⇢ Liberation Day With Open Wounds
⌨Italy commemorated the 80th anniversary of Liberation Day with two nation-defining events competing for attention. President Mattarella laid a wreath at the Altar of the Fatherland alongside Prime Minister Meloni, who acknowledged "democratic values denied by fascism" in a rare direct reference. Mattarella later spoke in Genoa, explicitly linking Pope Francis's messages to the Resistance legacy.

The day was marred by ideological divisions as pro-Palestinian demonstrators clashed with ANPI veterans and the Jewish Brigade in Milan and Rome. In Lanciano, a car plowed into a Liberation Day crowd, killing one person.

Meanwhile, the three-day public viewing of Pope Francis's body concluded with 250,000 mourners having paid respects. Vatican officials sealed his coffin in an evening ceremony, with the rogito describing Francis as a "witness of humanity." Trump arrived in Rome, announcing plans to meet Meloni while maintaining the visit would remain respectful.

Due lettere di Francesco gli precludono il Conclave

L'ex segretario di Stato Parolin gli avrebbe mostrato due missive in cui Bergoglio ribadiva la volontà di estrometterlo dall'elezione del nuovo Papa. Il cardinale sardo però non ci sta e continua a reclamare un posto nella Cappella Sistina. Anche perché potrebbe diventare una specie di bandiera per il fronte conservatore
