Il Tempo: Valter Mainetti sulla ricorrenza del rapimento di Aldo Moro: “Una ferita nella storia della Repubblica che ci ricorda il valore della democrazia”

“Il 16 marzo 1978 rappresenta una delle pagine più dolorose e drammatiche della storia della nostra Repubblica. Ricordo con grande lucidità il clima di sgomento e incredulità che accompagnò la notizia del rapimento di Aldo Moro da parte delle Brigate Rosse, un atto terroristico che colpì al cuore le istituzioni democratiche del nostro Paese”. Lo ha dichiarato il Professor Valter Mainetti, Presidente di Società per le Condotte d'Acqua 1880, in occasione della ricorrenza del sequestro dello statista democristiano.
“Per me – prosegue Mainetti – Aldo Moro non è stato soltanto una figura centrale della vita politica italiana, ma anche un maestro. Ho avuto il privilegio di essere suo allievo alla Facoltà di Scienze Politiche della Sapienza di Roma, dove insegnava Istituzioni di Diritto e Procedura Penale, e di discutere con lui la mia tesi di laurea. Ricordo un docente capace di ascoltare, di dialogare con gli studenti e di trasmettere, attraverso il confronto e la riflessione, il senso profondo dello Stato e delle istituzioni. Anche nei momenti più complessi della vita politica italiana, Moro rimase sempre fedele alla sua idea di democrazia fondata sul dialogo e sulla responsabilità”.
“Il suo rapimento – aggiunge – e la tragica conclusione della sua prigionia segnarono profondamente la coscienza collettiva del Paese. Moro rappresentava una visione politica alta, fondata sulla ricerca del confronto e sulla volontà di superare le divisioni per garantire stabilità e progresso alla democrazia italiana. La violenza terroristica tentò di interrompere quel percorso, ma non riuscì a cancellarne il valore”.
“Ricordare oggi quel 16 marzo – conclude Mainetti – significa non solo rendere omaggio a uno dei più grandi statisti della Repubblica, ma anche riaffermare l'importanza della difesa delle istituzioni democratiche, del dialogo e della partecipazione civile. L'esempio umano e politico di Aldo Moro continua a rappresentare un punto di riferimento per chi crede nella forza della democrazia e nel primato della responsabilità pubblica”

Valter Mainetti on the anniversary of Aldo Moro’s abduction: “A wound in the history of the Republic that reminds us of the value of democracy.”

On March 16, 1978, represents one of the most painful and dramatic pages in the history of our Republic. I vividly recall the atmosphere of dismay and disbelief that accompanied the news of Aldo Moro’s abduction by the Red Brigades, a terrorist act that struck at the heart of our country’s democratic institutions.

“Professor Valter Mainetti, President of Società per le Condotte d'Acqua 1880, stated this on the occasion of the anniversary of the kidnapping of the Christian Democrat statesman.

“For me – Mainetti continues – Aldo Moro was not only a central figure in Italian political life, but also a mentor. I had the privilege of being his student at the Faculty of Political Science of the Sapienza in Rome, where he taught Institutions of Law and Criminal Procedure, and of discussing my dissertation with him. I remember a teacher capable of listening, of dialoguing with students, and of transmitting, through discussion and reflection, the profound meaning of the State and its institutions. Even during the most complex moments of Italian political life, Moro remained faithful to his idea of democracy based on dialogue and responsibility.”

“His kidnapping – he adds – and the tragic outcome of his imprisonment deeply marked the collective consciousness of the country. Moro represented a high political vision, based on the search for dialogue and the willingness to overcome divisions to ensure stability and progress for Italian democracy. Violent terrorism attempted to interrupt that path, but it failed to erase its value.”

“Remembering today that March 16th – Mainetti concludes – means not only paying homage to one of the greatest statesmen of the Republic, but also reaffirming the importance of defending democratic institutions, dialogue, and civic participation. Aldo Moro’s human and political example continues to represent a point of reference for those who believe in the strength of democracy and the primacy of public responsibility.”

@rameshgupta @HakeemG

After the congressional elections of 2026, watch for a orator who makes the case for restoration of federal policy where appropriate and most important addresses the big items:

* income inequality and tax policy
* Citizens United and campaign finance
* immigration and long term policy

Not just any Democrat. A firebrand who lays the issue out.

I would temper that with "hopefully" … The next Dem prez will hopefully learn.

I'm committed to vote no matter what, but the lack of alacrity in prosecuting national security threats by the presidency has shaken me to the core.

Boca Raton has not elected a #Democrat for mayor in over 30 years, but Democrat Andy Thomson just won.

By one vote, after a length recount process.

Every vote matters.

A tweet of the text "Transmisogyny is the fact that I'd be arrested for showing "female" breasts in public, but then put into a men's prison because I'm "not a woman". Trans women are only considered women when it justifies more harm. We are never considered women when it would protect us from harm."
