"Today
the State renews its most solemn commitment to
ascertain
the facts
. There can be no justice without fully ascertaining responsibility: this is why the activity proceeds. The dust that coated the tortured bodies, that dust that has covered many responsibilities today that dust is clearing and leaves new contours and new profiles of what happened ". The Minister of Justice, Marta Cartabia, said in a passage from his speech at the commemorations of the massacre at the Bologna station on 2 August 1980. "Of this - he pointed out - we
must give credit to the activity of the association of the victims' families
, to the commitment of the Public Prosecutor of Bologna and of all the magistrates.
There is the closeness of the entire government and the commitment to concretely do our part, my part to offer all the necessary support in the work of ascertaining responsibility ".
"The choice to be here today next to each of you, not only in a personal capacity, is to testify to the need to listen again to your voices, your work, your testimonies. The Government is present here to testify its closeness".
"Bologna - said the minister - know that it can count on me and on the whole ministry as far as it is within my competence. The process currently underway that makes a leap forward towards reconstruction of the facts is a necessity for entire history of the country. The Bologna station is a hub, not just a railway and geographical hub, it is a historical hub of the entire history of Italy ". "It is for this reason - he observed - that I fully agree with and endorse the request of the victims' families for a full implementation of the directive that favors the disclosure of documents still covered by state secrecy and that is why it will be renewed the protocol for the digitization of processes of historical interest ". This, he argued again, "it is a fundamental tool for new investigations and is essential for transmission. It is necessary to transmit the memory of what happened to the new generations because - concluded Cartabia - civil awareness is the best prevention against any attempt to degenerate our civil coexistence into forms of hatred and violence that we no longer want to see ".
"The years pass - Stefano Bonaccini told his family - but the pain, suffering and the need for full truth certainly do not pass. Pain for 85 broken lives, 200 injured, for those who survived and carry irreparable wounds within themselves. Pain of an entire community and institutions, which will never give up until the full truth is reached ".
On the truth, added the governor, "today there are hopes thanks to the trial of the principals, which can represent a decisive step forward. If this has been possible, it is thanks to the commitment of the victims' association. Know that Emilia -Romagna wants to arrive at the full truth starting from the principals. Know that he will always be at your side ".
"Yours is a tenacious example of virtue and civic commitment, to affirm the complete truth about attackers, instigators, people infiltrated in the state who have tried to sidetrack investigations".
This was stated by the mayor of Bologna Virginio Merola, addressing the families of the victims of the massacre of 2 August 1980, in the courtyard of the Municipality.
"A decisive process is underway - he added - fruit of the association's commitment, which has never given up on asking for the complete truth".
