>Comrades! Dear Comrades of Milan! < >I shall dispense with any preamble and enter immediately into the heart of the subject matter of my speech. < >Sixteen months after the date of the terrible unconditional surrender imposed and accepted in accordance with the democratic and criminal formula of Casablanca, the evaluation of these events brings us, once again, these questions: Who is guilty of betrayal? Who has suffered or is suffering the consequences of this treachery? Let us be quite clear, it is not a matter of a judgment of historical revision, and much less is it a matter that is in any way justifiable. Some neutralists have attempted to do so, but we categorically reject this in the strongest sense, in addition to the source from which it originates. < >Who then are the traitors? The unconditional surrender announced on September 8 was desired by the monarchy, by court circles, by the plutocratic currents of the Italian bourgeoisie, by certain clerical forces—who allied for the occasion with Masonic ones—and by the General Staff which no longer believed in victory and which were headed by Badoglio. As early as May, more precisely on May 15, the ex-King noted in his diary—which has recently come into our possession—that one must "disengage" from the German alliance. Without a shadow of doubt, it was the ex-King who ordered the surrender, and Badoglio who carried it out. But in order to get to September 8, there first had to be a July 25—i.e., the coup d'etat and the regime change.
