(ANSA) - ROME, MAY 17 - "Fifty years have passed since the criminal terrorist ambush that crushed the life of Commissioner Luigi Calabresi, a servant of the democratic state to the point of sacrifice. The Republic does not forget its fallen.
Memory is part of our roots and is reason and strength for today's challenges. In figures such as Commissioner Calabresi values are witnessed that allow the whole community to progress, to find the necessary unity in the most difficult moments, to feel responsible towards the new generations ".
This was stated by the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella.
The defense of those free institutions that our fathers handed over to us took place without renouncing in any way the rights set out in the Constitution, our national identity card.
A teaching that should not be forgotten, precious for young people, to help them build the future of which they will be architects and protagonists ". (ANSA).
