Strasbourg – “Giacomo Matteotti’s political thought and action, 91 years after his murder, are still current today. In 1923, with an extraordinary talent for strategic vision, Matteotti suggested the creation of a United States of Europe as a possible solution to the divisive conflicts between peoples, that had already degenerated in World War I. The creation of a United States of Europe would contribute, according to Matteotti, to several goals: curbing nationalisms, ensuring economic, improving the conditions of the working classes, and creating the conditions to strengthen democracy “. Laura Garavini, on behalf of the Bureau of the Italian Democratic Party group of the Lower Chamber, released the above statement for the inauguration of Giacomo Matteotti exhibition at the European Parliament in Strasbourg.
