President Sergio Mattarella stressed
the importance of the police's work in protecting the billions
of EU money being invested into Italy's economic recovery and
modernization following the pandemic under the NRRP plan in a
message to State Police Chief Lamberto Giannini for the force's
170th anniversary.
"In this phase of the country's revival, the effort to make sure
the economic recovery, helped by major European resources, is
not invalidated by attempted criminal infiltration and
widespread forms of illegality is decisive," Mattarella said.
"Synergy with other police forces, local institutions and local
community figures is essential in this battle within a vision of
participatory security.
"Combatting terrorism and the promotion of IT security are
additional challenges that should be met in cooperation with the
police forces of other countries," he added.
