The president continues: “Today I am thinking in particular of those who struggle in hospitals, of our health personnel who for 10 months have faced fatigue and the risks of Covid, but also of all those who – sick – suffer physical pain and loneliness to to be able to recover and return. at home. I also think of the elderly in our nursing homes, of all those who are in home isolation due to the effects of the infection, those who have lost their jobs or have seen their life efforts compromised this year.
Zaia sends a heartfelt message: “My greatest wish goes to all of them, but above all a commitment: the pandemic will arise if we all want to march in the same direction. We work for this, on behalf of all those who have not done it and who are enduring sacrifices to achieve it. Let us join this common goal with the pride of being Venetians, a people that historically has faced wars, deprivations, sacrifices and has always recovered, strong as the lion on our flag. Merry Christmas to all! “.
