President Sergio Mattarella told
Coldiretti not to be afraid of the new at a ceremony in Rome
marking the 80th anniversary of the foundation of the farm group
Tuesday.
"We must not be afraid of the new. Reversing the usual image, we
do not need old wine, either in wineskins or in new times," he
said.
"This is true for climate change. We need recipes, updated
solutions, with the same foresight that allowed us to face, with
the means of the time, the (postwar) rebirth of the country.
"If the Fathers of the Republic, the Fathers of Coldiretti, had
looked back, where would they have taken us? Where would we be
today? We are indebted to them and urged by their experience to
have the same foresight", added Mattarella.
