"I remember like two years ago, when the left was taking Italy to the decline, even you Liberals Popular ask me strongly to take the initiative to overcome the fragmentation of the center and found the Italian section of the European People's Party.
When I launched the idea in Milan the People of Freedom immediately have adhered to our great and epoch-making project.
Today we are the government and our parliamentary groups are the focus the majority.
Forza Italy, National Alliance, the Popular Liberals and other political forces have created the People of Freedom in which you represent, especially the liberal Catholic values. In our great party has to coexist with equal dignity those coming from the right democratic, secular socialist who experience and who, like you, represents the continuity of a policy that Sturzo De Gasperi until the disappearance of the Christian Democrats in 1994 is still was an alternative to the left, a presence that I like and I intend to personally guarantee.
In these three days of work you have shown once again that on the big issues of bioethics, the right to life, family, solidarity with the Southern Italy, immigration and integration in the security of all citizens, you made a certainty which can look with confidence to Catholics and those who lay with Cross can not but recognize the Christian roots of our country .
To you and all friends of the Liberal People's heartfelt best wishes to take root and grow together even more in our great country the People of Freedom ".
