ROME (ITALPRESS) – “It is 140 years since the birth of Alcide De Gasperi. The Republic remembers the figure of the founding Father and the country is grateful for his work as creator of the moral, civil, economic, democratic reconstruction after the tragedy of war wanted by fascism. Reconstruction, restart, rebirth are words of that time that recur in our days, in which we are hardly committed to fighting the pandemic, with an eye to the future. De Gasperi had the courage to make difficult choices “. Thus the President of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella. “His capacity for vision helped to develop the capital of freedom conquered with the Resistance in a fully democratic order, in a policy oriented to the fight against misery, illiteracy, overcoming social fractures, impeding the growth of the country. a new foundation for the idea of homeland – observes Mattarella -, far from the regressive nationalisms that had thrown the continent into barbarism and it did so also by opening the doors to the resurgence of the idea of Europe. The necessary recomposition of national unity, torn apart over the years of the Nazi-Fascist alliance, found for De Gasperi a guarantee in the Western choice and in that project of European unity, then an ideal and today an extraordinary opportunity as well as a historical responsibility. ‘We have no right to despair!’ said the statesman from Trentino in a famous speech in Brussels. Nobody can deprive young people of the hope of the future because it would obscure the future of the entire community. This is a task shared by all those with public responsibilities and all citizens. A task that in times of crisis more acute it becomes even more demanding because it places the common good at the highest level “, concludes the head of state. (ITALPRESS). ads / com 03-Apr-21 13:59
