President Sergio Mattarella said
Monday it was time for people to stop making ironic comments on
people who show solidarity for others and do good deeds.
"Ever more often I read remarks full of irony towards finer
feelings," he said at an awards ceremony for new 'civic heroes"
at the presidential palace in Rome.
"I want to sat politely but clearly that being concerned
about the common good is not a goody-goody expression like
something out of the (cult children's) book Cuore.
"We must all act concretely for the common good, for the
solidarity that brings progress to the country".
