"The battle for rights" is "far from being concluded, or for which a regression is possible, if not, by some, even to be desired. It must always be remembered that the germ of freedom of thought, of life, the value of people, in other words, continues to persist even in the darkest cycles of history." This was stated by President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella, speaking at the closing ceremony of Pordenonelegge. "With this edition, Pordenonelegge evokes freedom of expression, freedom of thought, the value of dissent, all the more precious where it is denied," he added.
