(ANSA) – TURIN, SEPTEMBER 10 – There is controversy over the words of the President of the Piedmont Region, Alberto Cirio, about physical education.
“Sports activity was completely neglected in the Second World War. At the time of fascism, much attention was paid to the care of the body, sport was important in schools. After the fall of the dictatorship, sports activity was canceled from schools as a reaction. ”Said the governor on the sidelines of the inauguration of the Kinder Joy of Moving Park at the Vicolungo outlet, a recreational automotive park in the province of Novara. “President, do not be nostalgic: even today it is full of fascists. On the 20th and 21st we voted: think about it,” writes MP Filippo Sensi on Twitter.
“I see that the president of the Piedmont Region feels nostalgic for the care of the body that the fascist regime had. I’m afraid he was referring to the baton and castor oil-based cures to opponents who defended democracy and freedom, ”added the spokesman. Italian left-wing national team Nicola Fratoianni.
The governor’s response is ready: “I have only historically reconstructed why gymnastics is no longer taught in Italy – he explains -. The reason lies in fascism, which has exasperated the care of the body. The dictatorship fell, perhaps due to the opposite effect, Physical education was dropped. But it certainly didn’t mean to be a compliment to fascism. ” (HANDLE).
