47 years ago today, on March 16, 1978 (February 8, 1978 in the lunar calendar), Italian Prime Minister Moro was kidnapped by the terrorist organization "Red Brigade". Moro was shot 11 times and died in an abandoned car. On March 16, 1978, Italian Prime Minister Moro was kidnapped by the terrorist organization "Red Brigade". In 1960, Morro became political secretary of the Italian Catholic Democratic Party. In 1976, he was elected chairman of the Catholic Democratic Party and served as Prime Minister of the government. At this time, the Italian terrorist organization "Red Brigade" was developing and growing. Kucho, the founder of the "Red Brigade", was a college student leader and actively participated in various college student demonstrations. Later, he had the idea of forming urban guerrillas, so he established the "Red Brigade" and began a movement to "cripple the power establishment." They specialize in shooting senior government officials in the knees. Kucho said: Government officials are people who serve the power institutions. Their disability symbolizes the disability of the government. By 1973, the Red Brigade had developed into a huge organization with more than 400 official members and more than 1,000 non-staff members, and their terrorist activities gradually escalated. The Red Brigade continues to commit assassinations, bombings and kidnappings, and each time it escapes. By chance, Cucho was arrested. But not only did he not confess, he also caused a fuss in the court. At the same time, members of the Red Brigade stepped up their activities, threatening the government with force and demanding the release of Kucho. On the morning of March 16, 1978, Prime Minister Morro left home to the National Assembly and was kidnapped by the Red Brigade on the way. At that time, Moro was a pivotal figure in Italian politics and the best candidate for the presidential election at the end of the year. News came out that Rome was under martial law and the whole country was under martial law. An unprecedented large-scale manhunt began. The Red Brigade originally planned to kidnap Moro to coerce the government and release Kucho. However, all their demands were rejected. Because the Italian government's position is that it will resolutely not talk to terrorists, after a period of competition, the Italian government will not give in. Therefore, the Red Brigade decided to execute Morro. On May 7, 1978, Moro was shot 11 times and died. On the day when Morro's body was buried, people spontaneously held a large-scale march to express their nostalgia for Morro and their hatred of the Red Brigade.
