Rome, 10 Sept. (LaPresse) – “A year ago, Charlie Kirk was murdered. He was just 31 years old and was, once again, amongst young people at a university, doing what he had chosen to do throughout his public life: engaging in debate, discussing issues and defending his ideas. Charlie had made faith, freedom of speech and debate his hallmark. He was a devout Christian, a husband, a father, a young man capable of speaking to an entire generation without ever shying away from debate, even with those who held opposing views. He was murdered whilst exercising that very freedom. A year on, the best way to remember him is not to let the hatred that sought to silence him prevail. To continue to believe that ideas are countered with other ideas, that dissent is not an enemy to be eliminated, and that faith can be lived out without fear or shame. Charlie Kirk is no longer with us. But the cause he lived for continues to speak out. And he deserves to be remembered.” So wrote the Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, on social media.
