(ANSA) - PERUGIA, 22 SEPT - For the 60th anniversary of the first March Perugia-Assisi, which will take place on 10 October, PDUmbria is launching the national Agora on peace. "This year - explains the regional secretary Tommaso Bori - the 'PerugiAssisi' takes on a strong symbolic value: exactly 60 years ago Aldo Capitini, together with women and men animated by the ideals of nonviolence, inspired by the values of pacifism and determined to defend human rights for the first time, set in motion. Today, in a historical moment of epochal changes and marked by conflicts, including social and economic ones, their objectives represent not only a shared heritage but also an aspiration that reminds us of commitment, participation and urgent reaffirmation of those universal values.To stop pandemics and climate change. To assert the rights. To prevent new wars. To get out of the social and economic crisis, but also and above all cultural. Making the ecological transition. To democratize the digital revolution. To prevent and manage new large migrations ".
"And, in this sense - continues Bori, in a note from the Democratic Party - 'starting to work for peace', as the organizers ask, is also setting oneself the goal of developing a mentality and a culture of 'taking care' capable of defeating indifference, rejection and rivalry ".
"These are themes that represent a wealth of values and ideals fully in tune with the heritage and identity of the Democratic Party. For this - he explains - I launched from Umbria, the land of Aldo Capitini and a symbol of peace, the proposal of a national Agora, '60 years in March ', and of a widespread and organized participation of the Democratic Party in the appointment of October 10. I wrote to the national and regional secretaries, to the group of the Chamber, Senate and Regional Councils, to share ideas and organization of the Agora as an open and inclusive appointment for our community and to reaffirm the centrality of the Democratic Party and its representatives on these issues ".
