LE REAZIONI DEL MONDO DELLA POLITICA
“With Paolo Cirino Pomicino there is one of the most refined personalities of the First Republic and one of the most interesting and unconformistic minds of this long political transition season. My condolences to all those who loved him.” Matteo Renzi says so.
“Indomitable protagonist, before the political scene then as an opinionist, Paolo Cirino Pomicino crossed the life of hosts of politicians, journalists and entrepreneurs, to whom he always proposed interpretations, strategies and solutions. Often target of criticism and even severe accusations, he proudly defended his work and analyzed with realism the political phases with their merits and their defects. I remember it with sympathy, although not having shared many of its evaluations, even in recent weeks. But in him I have always found a smart interlocutor, much more cultured than his detractors.” The president of the senators of Forza Italia, Maurizio Gasparri.
“We used to believe that Paul was indestructible. Passing from a heart transplant to another, his desire to live and his passion for politics had always won against every weakness of his physicist. He was a democratic Christian of Andreottian rite, a passionate and competent parliamentarian, minister of rare intelligence. It was also present in the National Parliament in the so-called Second Republic, a sign of enthusiasm and commitment never failed. We will miss Paolo Cirino Pomicino, one of the last interpreters of the Christian Democracy that has left us today”. Pier Ferdinando Casini says so.
