"Mr President, I am speaking for Maurizio Puddu, who is the President of the Italian Association for Victims of Terrorism and who signed a letter sent to some newspapers yesterday as ‘European citizen’. The letter was addressed to Mrs Barbara Spinelli. ‘Cesare Battisti’s release by the French judicial authorities is baffling us, and I can assure you that it is also baffling the majority of Italian citizens, whatever their political stance. For us, murder and violence can never be defended. For us, the fact that terrorists maimed and murdered for ideological reasons, as they claim to do, does not make it any better, if anything it makes it worse. They and their friends will always find a thousand and one words to evade and falsify the past and continue to insult the memory of the dead. We call on the French – those of the great historical tradition that we so loved – to respect our law, which in this case has the natural right to respect human life on its side, which cannot be confused with any State reason.’ I also made this speech on behalf of Mrs Napoletano."@en1
