La Russa to students: 'The will of the people may be imperfect, they wanted fascism'

"Questioning the ability of the people to choose and decide and saying, 'the people were wrong' and saying it when it is convenient as Zagrebelsky does, is a sensational mistake." This was explained by the President of the Senate Ignazio La Russa in the hall of the City Council during the initiative with the schools, 'Young people with a healthy and robust Constitution'.

"The will of the people may be imperfect, after all it is the people who wanted fascism, it is not the fascist revolution - he added -. There was the march on Rome, later sanctified by the people. The people made a mistake, but there is no remedy other than that of trusting the will of the people, which is the highest value of democracy". "Whoever wants to set himself up as a judge of the popular will is the most anti-democratic that exists. It's like saying that there are right decisions when I like them and there are wrong decisions when I say so - he concluded -. No, it's not like that, we have to accept the popular will, then history will tell if it's right or wrong".

To explain his reasoning, the president of the Senate gave the example of "Barabbas and Jesus, if the people had not chosen Barabbas and Jesus had not been crucified we would not have had Christianity - he concluded -. So even that time the divine will that inspired the people was right".
