"The celebration of 25 April, with its strong historical significance, is the feast of all Italians. A day that brings to mind the values ​​of resistance where the roots of the Republic and the Constitution sink," said the undersecretary participating in the celebration of the day of liberation organized by the Jewish community of Rome. "A warning that must be handed down from generation to generation: the common duty to oppose all forms of violence to free the oppressed peoples."

"Preserving and passing on the values ​​of Resistance and Liberation means defending the dignity of each person, avoiding the rise of exasperated nationalisms that would bring Europe back to a past that has been managed to overcome with the sacrifice of so many men and women who fought for the homeland: among them many young people of the Jewish communities ".

The undersecretary then went to the Ardeatine pits where he paid tribute to the war memorial.

"Today more than ever there is a need to celebrate this day without factionalism and divisions", said Rossi, "in a geopolitical scenario characterized by an increasingly unpredictable and subtle threat, it is always a time of Resistance, against all wars and violence of any kind that occurs on the borders of Europe, in the Mediterranean, in the Middle East.
