April 25: Sala, even today we are called to rebuild

(ANSA) - MILAN, APRIL 25 - The mayor of Milan, Giuseppe Salà, on the occasion of the Liberation Day sent a video message, spread on his social pages, to all Milanese speaking from the terraces of the Duomo. In his words, Sala compared reconstruction after the war to that which the city will have to face after the Covid pandemic, "to which we are all called to work". "76 years have passed since that historic day and the pride and gratitude that we bring towards the Italians who were capable of that enterprise do not come. After some time something of that moment is current, it is the emergency due to the pandemic, - he explained - The figures, you know, are those of a war for each year of the world conflict we lost almost 100,000 Italians,about the same number of those who left us for Covid in the last year. "Then Sala recalled the story of Sister Giovanna Mosna, gold medalist of the Resistance, who ran the Niguarda hospital in the infirmary of the prisons for partisan and political persecution . "He made anti-fascists and Jews fleeing the concentration camps, he opposed the course of history with a truly important spirit of service and had the gratitude of all the Milanese". This story "is an inspiration today, a story of faith in rights that soothes and cures suffering , in view of a liberation and therefore of a reconstruction that we are all called to work on. For a future to be realized together - he concluded -.It is a particular April 25 but this date speaks to us of hope and love for others and we need the example of Sister Giovanni to build the future, doing it is a promise, a commitment and a mission for me ".
