ROMA (ITALPRESS) – “Marzabotto and the lands around Monte Sole were swallowed by the deepest abyss of humanity. Eighty-two years have passed since the extermination that the Nazi SS, backed by the fascists, carried out to the detriment of the inerm population, without pity even for children, women, the elderly, the priests. The strength of survivors and the flow of generations have been able to reopen the paths of life, but the memory of that frightening voragine remains a warning and continues to recall responsibility.” Thus the President of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella, in a statement in the anniversary of the Marzabotto massacre. “The dynamics of the war alone are not enough to define its horror. It is necessary to dig at the roots of the will of domination, racist myths, the strategy of annihilation of entire populations. It was this dough that triggered the beastly ferocity when the fate of the conflict began to turn to the worst for the occupants and their accomplices,” he recalls. “Republican and democratic Italy, Europe that has been able to put an end to the fratricidal wars, the orders of freedom and our social model have their foundation on the sacrifice of those who found themselves paying the highest and unjust price.”.
“We will never forget and never lose memory is duty more than ever unreliable now that war is reappeared also in our continent and new wills of power fuel neo-imperial. What happened can be repeated. The wars are again overwhelming rules and argini places to counter them, regressing intelligence and every sense of humanity.” “History has shown us that the civilization of peace is supported by democracy, participation, culture of solidarity, justice,” continues Mattarella. “They are the cornerstones of our Constitution, which was born in Marzabotto and in other places where the dignity of man was offended, was born where pain was unspeakable and now lives thanks to women, men, our communities, capable of generating hope,” the president concludes.
