Italian Constitution 'anti-Fascist' says Mattarella

(ANSA) - ROME, OCT 24 - President Sergio Mattarella on Thursday said the Italian Constitution is 'anti-Fascist', addressing Legacoop's Biennial of cooperative economy event in Bologna.
    Mattarella highlighted that the Charter has, "strongly impressed, four characters": it is centred on labour, the person, local autonomies with the "responsibility of providing answers to citizens" and it is anti-Fascist and thus "founded on the fight for Liberation, the origin of freedom and democracy", he noted.
    Mattarella also expressed solidarity to the city hosting the event, which was hit by a deadly flood over the weekend and to the families of the two victims and the wounded following an explosion reported Wednesday at a warehouse of 'Toyota Material Handling', a multinational that deals with goods handling in Borgo Panigale, near Bologna, in what the president described as "the umpteenth workplace tragedy".
    "There are no more adequate words to express alarm and anguish", the president said. (ANSA).
