"Our party, that of April 25, the party of all democrats, anti-fascists, the party of our Republic - is the message of Liliana Segre -,
remembers the day when we began to free ourselves with our forces and with our blood, the day when the partisans, together with the allies of the anti-fascist coalition, gave the last blow to the war of the Nazi-fascist invader.
But it is a celebration that today, as always, also speaks to our present, to a present of war that imposes itself on us, where a power attacks and bloodyly destroys a sovereign country in the heart of Europe, but a present still marked by pandemic, with its human and social costs ".
