In ten days the newly elected members will indicate the name of the president. Meanwhile, institutions, the Catholic world and lay associations have once again recognized the ACLI’s role as interlocutor in carrying forward the dialogue between communities necessary to build bridges of peace.
Dignity, work, rights, participation, family and peace were the topics addressed during the day, starting from the introductory report by Daniele Manzolillooutgoing provincial president. “On these issues on which the future of society will depend, we at ACLI want to be present and for this reason we invite everyone, first and foremost the Third Sector bodies of which we are part, to get involved, because we, despite 80 years of existence association, we want to continue to play an important role in caring for our communities – reiterated President Manzolillo – we want to be a stimulus and goad for political proposals towards the institutions, which often distance themselves from the care of everyday life”.
Emiliano Manfredonia, Acli national president, focused on the topic of Congresswhich saw a diverse and authoritative audience alternating at the speakers’ table throughout the morning: “I am proud of moments like this one in Salerno, which once again represents confirmation of how the ACLI manages to bring together the secular, Catholic, interreligious, political and institutional world. It is one of the characteristics of our Association that calls everyone to dialogue, to cultivate hope. I think that hope is a political category, if this driving force were not there, politics would be reduced to a personal question. The Acli have almost one million members throughout the national territory, together we can make an important change, to build a better world”.
Among those who spoke at the Congress was also the president of Campania region, Vincenzo De Luca. His was a targeted appeal “there are three battles that we must do together: against poverty, and the ACLI have always been committed to this front; the purchasing power of wages, which decreased by 6% even if employment grew, and against the differentiated autonomy, necessary to avoid splitting theItalia and to not have two completely different systems for public health and public schools. And then there is the battle for peace. We are witnessing a martyrdom in Palestinea Gazawhich can no longer be tolerated; those images of defenseless dead, of massacred civilian population, of mutilated children are intolerable. We must react to create a ceasefire. The conditions exist to stop this bloodbath, we must all get involved”.
