Bonino, D’Alema: “The country will miss her determined feminism”

Rome, 14 Sept. (LaPresse) – “What we will miss most significantly at this difficult time in the country’s history is her determined feminism, her standing up for women – especially at a time when women’s rights are still under threat today – and her pro-European stance. In my view, these are the two strongest and most important aspects of her entire career that I have shared with her.” So said Massimo D’Alema after visiting Emma Bonino’s lying-in-state at the Campidoglio. “Many battles have united us,” added the former Prime Minister, “whilst others have divided us, such as when she decided to support Berlusconi, believing him to be a liberal.”
