It is a "moral duty" to establish
ultimate responsibility for the August 14 2018 Genoa bridge
disaster that killed 43 people, Premier Giorgia Meloni said on
the sixth anniversary of the tragedy Wednesday.
"Memory, rebirth, justice. Six years have passed since the
catastrophe of the Morandi Bridge collapse, which shook Genoa,
Liguria and the entire nation on 14 August 2018," said the
premier.
"Today we honour the 43 victims of that tragedy and we embrace,
in mind and heart, their families and loved ones. "Today we all
feel a little bit Genoese, children of a proud city that was
morally bent and physically broken in two, but that has also
been able to get up and move forward since then," she said,
referring to the construction a replacement bridge designed by
Genoese starchitect Renzo Piano in record time.
"But that bridge," she added, "reminds the nation of the many,
too many, questions still unanswered.
"Doing justice and identifying responsibility for what happened,
ascertaining once and for all faults and omissions, is a moral
duty, as well as a judicial one".
