Mattarella: "Italy united for peace"
“A tragedy struck violently not on a single country but on the whole of Europe, endangering peace and freedom. There war in Ukraine it does not concern a distant country, but directly affects each of us ". So Mattarella during his visit to Norcia. "We can not accept - It reaffirmed - may the madness of war destroy what the peoples of Europe have been able to build and accomplish in seventy years of collaboration, of peace, of the search for common goals in the name of humanity. At the time, Europe was not limited to rising from the rubble of war, from the horrors of fratricidal wars. But a great effort was made, with success, to create a world that was inspired and composed and made up of mutual respect, cooperation, precisely in the search for common objectives ".
Peace in danger
"The world that was able to overcome the cold war - underlined Mattarella - does not intend to see the principles of international coexistence trampled on". "The Europe risks plunging into a spiral of war, in a vortex of conflicts of which it seems impossible to foresee development, involvement and extensions. Nobody could be sure of being completely immune from it. Peace is in danger! For it, for peace, for the affirmation of the values of freedom, Italians must and will certainly be uncompromising, determined, united ”.
