Legitimate forms of dissent can never "overwhelm the civic duty to protect the weakest".

This was stated by the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella in Parma on the occasion of the 38th national assembly of the Anci: "In recent weeks, demonstrations not always authorized have tried to pass the attack on the free development of activities as a free manifestation of thought. Alongside the critical issues for public order, often with the ostentatious renunciation of personal protective equipment and anti-Covid precautions, they have caused a dangerous increase in contagion. Legitimate forms of dissent can never overwhelm the civic duty of protect the weakest: we must defeat the virus, not attack the tools that fight it ".

In recent months, “the daily dedication of the mayors has been decisive in dealing with the crisis that our country has had to face with the pandemic, together with the commitment of health workers. A difficult test, in many dramatic moments, which highlighted the cohesion capacity of our society. Here I would like to express a memory and address a thought of gratitude to the local administrators who lost their lives alongside their fellow citizens affected by the virus ".

"We have shown wisdom and will to recover, a great job has been done", he adds. But now "we need to prevent and counteract the further dangerous pitfalls that come from the new infections. The time of responsibility is not yet over".

THE PNRR - It is not possible “to remove the cautions, because today we have before us unprecedented opportunities and potential, which have acquired characteristics of concreteness thanks also to European choices of high political value. We must be able to transform opportunities into realizations capable of improving our social model, of accelerating ecological and digital transitions, of offering younger generations a society that is not compromised by unsustainable mortgages ".

Central to the recovery is the NRP: "We cannot nullify the great opportunity that presents itself before us. It is our priority. Partial interests must be subordinated to it" because "there will not be another opportunity".

This is the significant opportunity “to redesign the country, for change, to reduce and eliminate the gaps between urban realities and rural areas, to enhance resources such as mountain ones, which have long been exposed to decline. It is a difficult challenge that forces us to rethink models of life, distribution and access to services, after decades in which the drive to save public resources has had a profound impact and not always achieving objectives ".
