Remedy the standstill situation
The commemorative speaker, South Tyrolean regional commander Jürgen Wirth Anderlan, whose family has Salurnian roots, hooked up exactly here. In the course of the crisis, he was often contacted by compatriots who appealed to the shooters to remedy the current situation of the standstill. While the defenders of autonomy would currently have hidden in the country house cellars “to find the first proof that our autonomy is worth more than a ‘chanterelle'”, Wirth called Anderlan accordingly, not only in times of crisis Confess your own identity and act accordingly.
The memorial ceremony ended with the laying of the wreath at the grave of Josef Noldin, which was carried out by the commemorative speaker, State Commander Jürgen Wirth Anderlan and Roland Lazzeri, Mayor of Salurn.
