Rome, September 13 (askanews) - "So many citizens are queuing here to pay homage to an extraordinary woman, a protagonist of our Republic, of our democracy. I was struck by so many people standing before the coffin and saying a word to her: thank you, that's what we all need to say. There's a strong feeling of gratitude because Emma Bonino, with her battles, played a very important role, in many cases decisive, in making our country freer and therefore more just." This was Rome Mayor Roberto Gualtieri's remembrance of Emma Bonino at the funeral chapel in the Capitoline Hill. "She was a gentle and tenacious fighter for the rule of law, for freedom, for civil rights, for politics.
A staunch Europeanist who truly fought for a democratic Europe, she was on the front lines of battles that shaped our country's history, including fundamental victories; she was always on the front lines of many conflicts around the world, in terms of hunger and often forgotten conflicts," she added.
