“We celebrate the 80 years from the liberation from Nazifascism and the horror of the dictatorship, affirming the primacy of democracy and values at the basis of the Republic and the Constitution”. This was stated by the President of the Calabria Region, Roberto Occhiuto. «On April 25 – he continues Occhiuto – marks a date full of meaning for our country, a moment I live in the consciousness of each of us. This anniversary belongs to the entire Italian community, none excluded, in the wake of sharing and national unity “.
Wanda Ferro’s words
«The death of the Holy Father has certainly affected all the Italian people, without distinction. I believe that celebrating April 25 in a sober way represents an act due to him, but also to reflect on many values that we too often take for granted ». The Undersecretary inside said this, Wanda Ferro, talking to the journalists on the sidelines of the ceremony held in Catanzaro to celebrate April 25.
“Today – added Undersecretary Iron – it certainly represents an important day to remember the liberation of Italy from the Nazi employment and the fascist regime. But above all it constitutes a symbol to honor the many who have contributed to restoring freedom and democracy with the memory”.
The prefect of Catanzaro, Castrese De Rosa, in his speech, also recalled Pope Francis, asking for a minute of recollection to honor his memory. De Rosa, then referring to April 25, spoke of “A day of celebration on a day of mourning. The sobriety that someone recalled does not mean not organizing events. Today is an important day to celebrate because it is the day of all the Italians in which we try to make memory an important element for our future ».
