“Italians also love freedom but we also care about seriousness.” This was said by President Sergio Mattarella in Sassari, on the sidelines of the ceremony in memory of Cossiga, talking with some participants in the celebrations, in response to those who asked him what he thought of what was declared by British Prime Minister Boris Johnson about the British who , unlike the Italians. and the Germans, they love freedom. Johnson’s remarks in the House of Commons were in response to a question about the rise of infections in Britain these days.

During a question time yesterday in the House of Commons – in response to a dispute by Labor MP Ben Bradshaw about “why Germany or Italy” currently register fewer official infections on the island without having adopted the new restrictive measures announced yesterday by the Prime Minister. – Boris Johnson had explained that this is also the result of the liberal mentality that is more widespread in the Kingdom compared to “many other countries”. “There is an important difference – argued BoJo – between our country and many others in the world, since ours is a country that has always loved freedom. If we look at the history of the last 300 years, every advance, from freedom of expression to democracy, has practically come from this country. ” “It is therefore very difficult – he concluded – to ask the British people to uniformly obey the necessary directives today.”
