(ANSA) - ROME, FEB 11 - Slovenia's prime minister Marjan
Sarec strongly condemned the words of the President of the
European Parliament Antonio Tajani, calling them an expression
of ''unprecedented historical revisionism''. ''Fascism was a
fact, and was intended to destroy the Slovenian people'', the
premier wrote on his Twitter account.
Tajani yesterday at the foiba of Basovizza, on the occasion of
the Day of Remembrance, ended his speech by exclaiming ''Hooray
for Trieste, hooray for Italian Istria, hooray for Italian
Dalmatia, hooray for the Italian exiles, hooray for their
heirs'', ''Hooray for those who defend the values of our country
''. Almost all Croatian MEPs expressed their outrage at Tajani's
statements. Croatia's premier Andrej Plenkovic asked for
clarification. ''I expressed my outrage - he said - and I
strongly oppose Tajani's statements, containing elements of
territorial claims and historical revisionism''.(ANSA).
