One bipartisan applause for the end-of-year speech of the President of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella. In particular, the chorus of sharing words about peace, hope and cohesion. But also on the discomfort of young people, against feminicides and on the climate. The first to express appreciation and gratitude are the president of the Senate and the president of the House. “This year too, a strong and clear message comes from President Sergio Mattarella on all the most relevant issues of the Republic: from peace to feminicides, from violence to the need to cultivate respect towards others, up to the sense of patriotism expressed in the hiring of responsibility of those who operate in difficult operational theaters or in the field of security in our squares, in compliance with constitutional values”, he states Ignazio the Russian.
“In a complex historical moment, the call for democratic participation and the construction of a peace that is synonymous with justice and respect for freedoms represents a fundamental message for the future of our country and the international community. In thanking President Mattarella for his words of peace, we fully share the invitation to a collective commitment to face the challenges with responsibility and hope”, underlines Lorenzo Fontana.
Even the Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, expresses personal and Government appreciation for the words of the Head of State. In a telephone conversation with the President of the Republic, Meloni wanted to underline the Head of State’s reference “to the founding value of patriotism, as the driving force of daily action and a living feeling that drives the commitment of those who are at the service of public affairs and of the national community”. The Prime Minister then expressed “full agreement with the need to address the growing discomfort experienced by young generations, proposing concrete and effective responses”, and thanked Mattarella for his words on the Italian presidency of the G7 and for his commitment to peace.
“Words so transversal that they are welcomed without divisions and exploitation”, observes FdI’s organizational manager Giovanni Donzelli. “Thanks to President Mattarella who, in addition to underlining encouraging results for Italy such as employment, exports and tourism, hopes for an end to too many conflicts in the world. It is a hope that we warmly share, and in this sense we place great trust in the new American administration by Donald Trump”, is the comment of Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini. “A beautiful speech, rich in content and fully shared. Obviously both in terms of foreign policy, the message of peace is fundamental, both in the Middle East, for the release of the hostages, aid to the civilian population in Gaza, and in Ukraine”, underlines the deputy prime minister Antonio Tajani.
“Mattarella reminded us how urgent it is to build a more just, supportive and attentive country to the needs of all. His words on peace, on inequalities, on the climate emergency, on precariousness, are a powerful call to collective responsibility. Social justice is not just an ideal, but a necessity to guarantee dignity and rights”, explains PD secretary Elly Schlein. “I share President Mattarella’s call for a commitment to peace in line with the Constitution, the reflections on the barbarity of war and those on the ‘disheartening’ disproportion between the enormous expenditure on weapons and investments against climate change, to protect the environment. I cannot help but focus on the Head of State’s stimulus for a rediscovery of citizens’ commitment and participation in choices that concern us all”, states the M5s leader Giuseppe Conte.
“For ten years a reference of wisdom and hope”, says Matteo Renzi. “President Mattarella reminds us of the danger of the lacerations that affect our national community in a moment of crisis and war. Reminding us of this all year round is a patriotic duty”, comments the leader of Action Carlo Calenda. “An important speech, in which we recognize ourselves, which demonstrates how Sergio Mattarella is an essential point of reference for the whole country”, states Angelo Bonelli, and Nicola Fratoianni observes: “Once again the words of the President of the Republic are a point of reference, for the Constitution, for democracy, for all of us”. For Maurizio Lupi Mattarella “shows the way in 2025 to strengthen our community and build a just peace”.
