Asti, President Mattarella remembers Giovanni Goria

The President of the Republic went to Asti as part of the celebrations on the occasion of the thirty-year anniversary of the death of Sergio Goria. Mattarella, remembering the Piedmontese statesman, underlined the “respect for the dignity of the functions that he found himself covering, despite the suffering and some bitterness that he undeservedly suffered in the last part of his life”.

Mattarella’s words

Giovanni Goria had been elected to Parliament at a very young age, in a legislature that would prove to be very short”. The President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella said this in Asti on the occasion of the commemorative ceremony of the thirtieth anniversary of the death of Giovanni Goria. “He strongly perceived – he added – the intolerance of territorial areas and social classes for the accumulated inefficiencies and imbalances, he therefore felt the need to put an end to the corporate distortions that weighed on Italian society. It compared itself with other European countries. Issues that are still very relevant today.”

The reference to the Constitution

“Allow me to combine my memory with the mention of the speech that the Prime Minister gave on the occasion of the 40th anniversary from the entry into force of the Constitution and which represents, in my opinion, one of his messages of great significance. What were sometimes indicated as weaknesses are, in Goria’s opinion, strengths, so much so that he stated: ‘this is not only the Constitution of our past, but also that of our future’”.
