İtalya’nın Kopenhag Büyükelçisi’nden Cumhuriyet Bayramı'nda Özgürlük Vurgusu

Amb. Del Papa, 'On June 2, Italy chose a future of freedom'

(ANSA) - ROMA, 04 GIU - On the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the Republic, Italy’s Ambassador to Copenhagen, Giuliana Del Papa, addressed a message to her compatriots residing in Denmark, recalling the historical significance of the June 2, 1946 referendum and the country’s journey toward democratic growth. "Italians did not merely choose a new form of government. They responsibly chose a different future, one built on freedom and democracy, the rule of law, equality, solidarity, and international cooperation," the ambassador stated. In her remarks, Del Papa highlighted the decisive role played by women in the founding of the Republic, with 21 women joining the Constituent Assembly. The ambassador also highlighted the achievements made by Italy in the decades that followed, becoming “one of the world’s leading economies and the fourth-largest global exporter, capable of projecting genius and beauty everywhere—the true hallmark of Italy’s history.” Referring to the challenges of the current international context, Del Papa reaffirmed the relevance of the choices made in the postwar period in favor of European integration, the transatlantic alliance, and multilateralism—essential tools for addressing conflicts, instability, and inequalities. “The answers,” she said, “can only come from coordinated action with our international partners, starting with the members of the European Union.” In concluding her message, the ambassador expressed her gratitude to the Italian community in Denmark: “With over 20,000 compatriots,” she emphasized, “we have become an active community and a key player in Danish society and economy.” Read article...
