Rome, 21 June (LaPresse) – “On the occasion of the 252nd anniversary of the founding of the Guardia di Finanza, I am pleased to extend the Republic’s greetings to the men and women of the Corps, who are effective in implementing the principles of the Constitution.” This is stated in the message sent by the President of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella, to the Commander-General of the Guardia di Finanza, Lieutenant General Andrea De Gennaro. “I pay tribute to the War Flag, which has been awarded the Gold Medal for Merit in Culture and the Arts, in recognition of the high standing accorded to the Corps’ Military Band over a century of intense and passionate activity,” he continues. “I offer a heartfelt thought to all the members of the Guardia di Finanza who have paid the ultimate price in fulfilling their duty. To their families, I reaffirm the nation’s profound sympathy and gratitude. This year marks the eightieth anniversary of the sovereign decision by which the Italian people established the Republic, and we are celebrating important anniversaries within the Corps. It is now twenty-five years since the reform that redefined the Guardia di Finanza as an economic and financial police force, capable of tackling the complex challenges of globalised markets, both nationally and across Europe, alongside the necessary fight against tax evasion, in order to safeguard the Republic’s ability to meet the needs of its citizens and to protect honest taxpayers, thereby ensuring economic legality. The Republic is grateful to the Fiamme Gialle for the dedication and professionalism they have shown at home and on international missions. On this day of celebration, I am pleased to send my warmest wishes for every future personal and professional success to all members of the Fiamme Gialle, both serving and retired, and to their families. Long live the Guardia di Finanza! Long live the Republic!”
