The President of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella, witnessed the lighting of the Benedictine Torch – Pro pace et Europa una inside the Basilica of San Benedetto in Norcia, a church destroyed by the 2016 earthquake: “St. Benedict with his torch launches a message of peace that we will feel the need in the next days. In recent days the madness of war has broken out, we cannot accept that it destroys what the peoples of Europe have managed to build in these seven decades of peace ”. And he added: «Europe has not limited itself to rising from the rubble of war, but a great effort has been made to create a world that was composed of mutual respect, cooperation, the search for common objectives. This world has been able to overcome the Cold War, the peoples of Europe are not willing to bow to the principles of force. Today it happened to an independent state like Ukraine, but Europe today is threatened ». The European Union is not “willing to bow to the violence of force”, the Italians will be “Intransigent, determined and united”.

After Draghi’s words in the report to the Chamber of Deputies on the war in Ukraine, however, the debate in the Chamber began. The floor was passed to the parliamentarians. The first to face was the secretary of the Pd Enrico Letta: «It is important that the sanctions are as severe as possible to bring Russia to its knees. We need a new compass: no ambiguity. We need the suspension of the Stability Pact to ensure that these sanctions do not hit the Italian and European economy ”. For Putin, Letta admits, we “are softened” and the reaction must not be ambiguous. The appeal for the country is to “put an agenda of humanitarian corridors at the forefront”, also considering “concrete help to Kiev to defend itself”. Letta thundered against Putin: “February 24 is the new September 11, it is the change of history and forces us all to change our approach.”

«Today we reaffirm that we are and will be on the side of the West. We call without equivocation and pretense that we condemn the Russian aggression on Ukraine. Perhaps all this could have been avoided … “he declared Francesco Lollobrigida, group leader in the Chamber of the Brothers of Italy, denouncing how «Italy has disappeared, has not been seen until now. Europe is weak, it is weak military, because you have not invested. If there is no peace, perhaps because we have been weak on the military level. Perhaps all this could have been avoided, but now the die has been cast ».
