(ANSA) - Rome, May 9 - President Sergio Mattarella said
Tuesday that "terrorism today manifests itself in new forms
(and) the fight against terrorism has become one of the decisive
test beds for Europe". He said "we must respond with firmness
and unity, without ever renouncing those civilised principles
that are enshrined in our Constitution." Mattarella said "we
fought terrorism with firmness, without giving in to those who
wanted to change our co-existence and we are called on to be
just as firm now". Mattarella said that on the Day of Memory set
up by the Italian parliament to recall all terrorism's victims,
in Italy and abroad, he wanted to voice "closeness and
solidarity" with all those who saw the lives of a loved one
"barbarously cut short".
United, firm agst terror says Mattarella (2)
