Rome, 26 May (LaPresse) – “What remains of the story of those years? The barbarity of the murder of the Mattei brothers. What remains is irrefutable evidence of hatred. What remains is the need for reconciliation. What remains is the need to bow our heads respectfully to all those who, in those years, whatever their political affiliation, lost their lives. And this is an effort that I, in my own small way, am trying to make, even more so since I became President of the Senate, but the more I try, the more the hatred towards me stirs.” So said the President of the Senate, Ignazio La Russa, speaking at the launch of the book ‘Il rogo di Primavalle – Orribili quegli anni’ (The Primavalle Fire – Those Horrible Years), currently taking place in the conference hall of the Fondazione Alleanza Nazionale in Via della Scrofa, Rome. “They’re also after me for another reason – but they’re mad – because they desperately fear that I harbour a desire to become President of the Republic,” he added. “Rest assured, I don’t want to do it and I could never do it. It cannot happen and I don’t want it to happen.”
