His first time, voting at 18. Giada has also entered adulthood, going into the booth to express her opinion and believe in the politics that in recent years has disappointed the expectations of today’s kids, those who will receive the baton tomorrow. And so Giada, with the solid values of citizenship education learned in her family, went to the polls and expressed her preferences.
“When I entered the electoral section – says Giada – with all those lights, those colored ballots and those people asking me for the document, the ballot and then if it was the first time I voted and so on, my hands were shaking”. It was the moment to enter the voting booth, he confesses, “I had my heart in my mouth. I was afraid of making mistakes between the symbols, the preferences, the pencil that I only use at school and they told me it was copied, but what does that mean?”.
When she expressed her preference, she confesses, “I was reminded of what I learned right on the benches about the rights of women who voted for the first time in 1946, a great achievement for all of us.” The eighteen-year-old concludes: “March 10 of that year was certainly a beautiful day, but it was equally beautiful for me on June 8, 2024, after 78 years, we are here.”
