Overview
- The event titled “Russofobia, russofilia, verità” is now scheduled for 12 November at Circolo Arci La Poderosa in Turin after the Polo del ’900 withdrew its hosting.
- The updated lineup features historian Angelo D’Orsi and journalist Vincenzo Lorusso alongside newly added guests Alessandro Di Battista and Moni Ovadia.
- ANPPIA’s national leadership distanced itself from the Turin section’s initiative and said it reserves the right to pursue legal action over claims of pro-Putin leanings.
- PD MEP Pina Picierno welcomed the cancellation as blocking “Putinist propaganda,” while Azione leader Carlo Calenda urged the mayor and PD to act before the venue change.
- Social-media calls for a “mailbombing” targeting Mayor Stefano Lo Russo have circulated, which D’Orsi attributed to Rifondazione’s Paolo Ferrero, and Europa Radicale said it will protest peacefully against pro-Kremlin advocates.
