President Sergio Mattarella said
Monday that it is necessary to stay true to democratic
principles to combat the ever-present threat of intolerance on
the 44th anniversary of Piazza della Loggia bombing in Brescia
that killed eight people and injured 102 on May 28, 1974.
"We have to keep common democratic sensibility high and
remain faithful to the principles that inspire coexistence to
defeat those who still intend to sow intolerance and fear," he
said.
"The threat of violence has never been wiped out in our
community.
"We are all witnesses to how it can take on new forms and
methods in the pursuit of the same objective - to hit the
dignity of people and their freedom".
