(ANSA) - ROME, 17 GEN - Yesterday afternoon a Rai film crew engaged in making a report in Slovenia on the foibe massacres had their vehicles damaged by unknown persons near a cave where they were filming. The incident, which was reported to the police, was made known by the Unirai union, free Rai journalists. Near the village of Podpec, a few kilometers from the Italian border, Tg2 correspondent Andrea Romoli, accompanied by speleologists Franc Maleckar and Maurizio Tavagnutti, descended inside the Bliznji cave where Tito's communist militias slaughtered hundreds of people in 1945. Once they emerged from the caves, where they found many human remains, Romoli and his crew found the service cars, left several dozen meters away, heavily vandalized. The hardest hit vehicle was the one carrying the Rai recognition badge whose windshield was smashed and side was destroyed. The equipment inside the vehicles was not touched in any way. Unirai condemns "these intimidating and violent acts that will not stop the work of Rai journalists to report on the crimes of yesterday and today.From the foibe in Istria to the mass graves in Bucha a single red thread of blood is stretched, which must be remembered and denounced so that those horrors are not repeated.Doing so without fear and reticence is the best way to honor the extraordinary work of mending the wounds of the past done by the Italian and Slovenian communities on both sides of the border, to build a common future of peace and coexistence.From the historic handshake between President Mattarella and his Slovenian counterpart Pahor in front of the foiba of Basovizza there is no going back."
