The Archbishop of Turin Roberto Repole
Even the archbishop of Turin, Monsignor Roberto Repole, ideally participates in the day promoted by the trade unions and shared by the institutions dedicated to Turin pride.
The Archbishop of Turin on the relaunch of Mirafiori
“The relaunch of Turin starts from Mirafiori” is not just a slogan but is full of meaning. It is for those who have been participating since this morning in the day promoted by all the trade unions to ask for the relaunch of the city through its production engine: the automotive sector. The unions are asking for it, the institutions participating in the day support it and the Archbishop of Turin Monsignor Roberto Repole also says it clearly. His message, a heartfelt appeal for the future of the city, was read during the initiative.
Turin between crisis and growth
Repole writes: “We must have no doubts: Turin is certainly struggling, it is certainly suffering from the economic and social crisis, but it can grow again. It can and will do it, because many other European cities have succeeded. I find it important that you named your demonstration after ‘Turinese pride’. Because it is exactly like this: today we need a lot of pride, in the positive sense, of recognition of our abilities, to escape from a certain subtle resignation of the city in the face of industrial decline”.
The Archbishop of Turin encourages the city: “No fate is inevitable”
“We need pride – he continues – to overcome a wrong idea with no prospects: that the growth experienced by Turin in the past will never return. As a Christian and as a citizen, I am convinced that there is no absolute and ineluctable destiny in life. However, the future exists. And the future is built by our actions and I thank you for the message of ‘pride’ that you send through your demonstration, I interpret it as a message of hope, because together we are trying to understand what needs to be done for our beautiful city to smile again ”.
