Titolo: 1964 per i più giovani

I dati (incompleti) sul 1964 che seguono sono stati da me altra/e volta/e
postati su questo ng dopo essere stati copincollati da un sito di stanz
sugli anni sessanta che adesso non esiste più.
Il brano sull'estate politica (tutta italiana) del 1964 che segue è stato
anch'esso già postato su questo ng, nel 2001, ma ho pensato bene di
commemorare il quarantennale e, come al solito, di infilare in queste larghe
bande lo zampino di Madre Storia.

12. « Che cosa avvenne realmente nella "calda estate" del '64, durante una
delle più travagliate crisi governative? Gli omissis (cioè le «omissioni »
nei verbali che ricostruirono i fatti) imposti dai ministri democristiani
non sono riusciti a nascondere le caratteristiche del piano eversivo che era
stato preparato [...] Protagonisti dei fatti del '64 furono il generale De
Lorenzo - allora comandante dei carabinieri - e altri alti ufficiali. Una
schiera di notabili furono in vario modo a conoscenza dei progetti che
andavano maturando, e il loro atteggiamento ha dato adito a dubbi e
discussioni: Segni, presidente della Repubblica, Rumor, segretario del
partito, Taviani, ministro dell'Interno, Andreotti, titolare della Difesa
[...]. Partendo dai fatti del '64, sono venute però alla luce altre
gravissime responsabilità di determinati servizi dello Stato, e soprattutto
della Dc che - attraverso i suoi ministri -
solo non aveva ostacolato le "deviazioni" ma aveva finito con l'
incoraggiarle » (da « L'Unità» 2.4.1972).
