MILANO (ITALPRESS) – The President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella, met in Linate the relatives of the air accident on 8 October 2001. The meeting took place in a hall in Milan. The President of the Committee of 8 October Adele Pesapane welcomed the Head of State. “The pain is not extinguished and does not diminish, it is impossible for this to happen. But it can be translated in different ways: not only the 118 trees planted, but also the scholarships to allow and encourage the study of young people. These commitments accompanied your commitment to have truth and justice,” said the head of the state during a brief intervention.

“The first – he added – expresses the memory that must be preserved and maintained, the second to pour out the pain in commitment to the other so that these dramatic and unthinkable tragedies no longer take place, because the growth, study and commitment of young people is encouraged. This pouring on the future pain in a positive way is a not easy, of great value. For me to be here on this anniversary is not only a necessary expression, but it is also trying to make understand the true closeness, authentic, felt, personal also, for what happened, for the pain that remains, for the commitment you have cultivated in these years however for the future. Thanks for these reactions, with great and affectionate closeness,” concluded Mattarella.
