Mattarella wants an Italy that has a vision of the future

Italians

on New Year's Eve will be reassured by the President of the Republic who, at 20.30 with unified networks, will appear as always in the homes of Italians to motivate the country through a simple, energetic and deeply supportive discourse.

Sergio Mattarella

, with the aim of shaking up a country weakened by years of crisis and pandemic by bringing the strength of an Italy that has never given up back into the spotlight, and indeed , despite everything continues to grow more than others in Europe.

The message of this complex 2022 will be short (less than 15 minutes) and will be the eighth for a president who found himself at the Quirinale despite himself and today, from the height of his experience, recognizes a vital country, much stronger than how it describes itself.

Sergio Mattarella turned 81 last July but has demonstrated over time the ability not to lose touch with the challenges of this millennium, with the wishes and dreams of the new generations, with the difficulties of one of the oldest populations on the planet.

For this reason

- and this is no small thing - since his re-election to the presidency of the Republic.

The Sicilian president, a progressive Catholic, confirmed his impartiality as arbiter even with a government evidently distant from his personal beliefs and tomorrow, faithful to his approach, he will speak to the whole country.

: rather in his message the head of state will act as a hinge between the different generations, between young and old: he will develop his analysis by recalling that stability rests on constitutional roots and will list the inescapable challenges, from environmental protection, grounding the Pnrr without forgetting the tireless commitment to job creation.

The key words of this message will in fact be solidarity, vision, responsibility, community.

But perhaps the word that best defines Sergio Mattarella's thinking is "cohesion".

For years, the president has been working to unite, mend, reduce distances and bring the tensions that run through a large country like Italy back into a civil debate.

An effort that certainly will not end with the birth of the government of Giorgia Meloni which in any case confirmed the photograph of an Italy as split as an apple.

Here, in this difficult context,

.

He knows well how important a basic "cohesion" is in order not to lose the pace of growth, to face the extremely serious climate crisis head-on.

A social cohesion based on basic values ​​which in fact is required of everyone, young and old, the majority and the opposition.

For the "good of Italy" as he said over and over again.

Then the differences of views are the salt of democracy.

Have "vision of the future", then.

Which means

.

With will, determination and, why not?, even with a healthy dose of optimism.

All of this, of course, without reckless leaps forward, always with great responsibility.

As it happened, and unfortunately it will have to continue to happen, with the pandemic.

The president will certainly talk about it,

.

On the other hand, his position of great caution with respect to the virus is known, just as his invitations to get vaccinated and to always have faith in science have been seamless.

A line that certainly won't have changed after 15 long days of covid positivity.

To give weight and body to the word "cohesion" there will certainly be the example of the position to be taken with respect to the invasion of the Russian Federation of Ukraine.

Mattarella will also talk about this "unfortunate" war and will do it as he has always done, with extreme frankness.

There are and there will be sacrifices to be made but they are worth it: there is an aggressor and one attacked and at stake are the values ​​of peace and freedom of the European Union.

Italy knows which side it is on and is doing its part: no distinctions are allowed.
