The Constitution is not a machine that once set in motion goes without saying.
The Constitution is a piece of paper, dropped it and does not move, because you lose every day we must move into the fuel must be put in the commitment, spirit, the will to keep these promises, his responsibility.
why one of the offenses that are made to the Constitution is indifferent to politics.
is a bit 'a disease of young indifference. "Politics is an ugly thing. What I care policy? ".
freedom there, we live under the freedom. There's other things to do that interested in politics! Eh, I also know there are ... The world is so beautiful right? There are many beautiful things to see and enjoy, as well as deal with the politics! And politics is not a pleasant thing.
But freedom is like air. You realize what it's worth when it begins to fail, when you hear that sense of asphyxiation men of my generation have felt for twenty years and I hope you'll never hear of young people. And I hope you will not find you never feel this sense of anxiety, because you hope you manage to create the conditions for this sense of anxiety do not have to prove anything, reminding you every day that freedom must be vigilant, to watch, making its contribution to political life ...
So you young people to the Constitution must give your spirit, your youth, live it, feel it as your own, put in your spirit, civic awareness, make account (this is one of the joys of life) to realize that none of us in the world is not alone, is not just that we are more, that we are part of a whole, a whole within the limits of Italy and the world .
