25 April 1945 marks the moment when the National Liberation Committee gave the order for a general insurrection throughout Northern Italy against the Nazi occupation and the fascist regime. The communist partisans, organised mainly in the Garibaldi Brigades, were the largest and best-organised component of the Resistance.

“Today, all over Italy, we are Partisans of Peace. The ideals of the Resistance are more alive than ever. This is not the hollow antifascism of the ‘broad camp’; there are tens of thousands of people in the streets against the imperialist war and against a government that is the enemy of the workers and the people.

Today we were in the streets throughout Italy. The Partisans of Peace are marching in over 30 cities. This is not an empty commemoration: what could be more relevant than fighting against the bosses’ war, against a government that drags us into poverty, fighting for a future of peace and social justice? These were the ideals of the partisans. This is the communists’ battle today.

25 April is a day of struggle. The ideals of the Resistance are alive in the mass demonstrations that have swept across the country today. A sea of ‘partisans of peace’ opposing the imperialist war and an unworthy government. We have a great responsibility: to organise this army of life, to take the future into our own hands. We can win.”
