"Today, April 25, is a very important day for Italy: it is the day in which the Liberation from the Nazi occupation in the Second World War and the defeat of fascism are remembered".
This was stated by the president of the Senate, Ignazio La Russa, at the Conference of EU Parliaments in Prague.
"Together with the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella and the High State Offices this morning I solemnly testified at the Altare della Patria the commitment and sacrifice for freedom and independence as well as the absolute value of the Resistance in overcoming the dictatorship and in restore democracy to Italy".

"Today, taking advantage of my presence here in Prague, I wanted to add two important appointments to my agenda and which are linked to the theme of this Conference: I will therefore pay homage to the many victims of Nazi ferocity by going to Terezin and I have already been to the monument dedicated to Jan Palach, as I always did every time I came to Prague. And I did it this time too because I certainly couldn't lack respect for your story", said the president of the Senate.
"I want to return to the theme of dictatorial regimes by recalling the greatest atrocity of the past century: the Holocaust", stated La Russa, at the Conference of Presidents of EU Parliaments, underway in Prague.
"To prevent the specter of illiberal regimes from once again limiting our freedoms, there must above all be full collaboration and respect between states, starting with respect for national borders".
