ROME (ITALPRESS) – “The news of the prodigious attack against the Christmas market in Magdeburg arouses in Italians horror and unanimous condemnation. I wish to make myself the immediate interpreter of these feelings to you, Mr. President and dear friend, and to all your fellow citizens.” So writes the President of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella, in a message sent to the President of the Federal Republic of Germany, Frank-Walter Steinmeier. “In this dramatic circumstance, the Italian Republic is close to the German people with convinced and sincere participation. In this spirit, I wish to convey to the families of the victims the expressions of our most sincere condolences,” he added. “We wish the many injured a speedy and complete recovery. Germany, united with Italy by indissoluble bonds of friendship and solidarity, can count on our most convinced commitment both in the firm and determined fight against terrorism and in supporting together the reasons for free and peaceful coexistence, a fundamental and inalienable element of the common European identity.”
