The black heart of Lazio no longer beats in Latina. The Pontine capital has been run by a civic council orbiting to the left for three years and the years in which it was considered the right-wing laboratory appear far away. A detail that seems to be confirmed by the unanimous decision made today by the city council to grant honorary citizenship to Senator Liliana Segre. All agree in paying homage to the victim of racial persecution, with the aim of reaffirming the values ​​of memory and tolerance. Including Brothers of Italy and the League.The motion received was presented by Councilor Dem Enrico Forte. And unanimously the green light was also given to honorary citizenship for Sami Modiano, also a Jew, deported to Auschwitz and survived the Holocaust. A proposal made by the latter made by Latina Bene Comune, the civic force at the head of the local authority. The decision to grant honorary citizenship to Segre was also motivated by "the importance that the figure of the senator for life plays in the historical memory of our country", reiterating the "great tradition and the propensity that the city of Latina has always shown towards reception and inclusion ".
For 34 years, the Pontine capital hosted the largest refugee camp in the country during the Cold War, where 80,000 refugees traveled. With the occasion, the mayor Damiano Coletta then recalled that on December 10th, universal human rights day, he will take part in the event in Milan in support of Segre.
