| Message | Dear friends of Solentian Heritage Coalition, I'm Antani Sfini, president emeritus of the Republic of Solent. For 11 years I have driven this country with the help of many senators of good will of the Senate and we have achieved important structural reforms, including the restoration of the memory role of the President of the Republic, the democratic choice of the voters, the economic recovery with a powerful tool to fight corruption and black market, the start of the remarkable work of devoltion to which our country aspires with responsibility and intelligence. Now your law shows an opposite address: to restore the old politics of corruption that encourages pornography, the market for prostitution and drugs. Our economy is healthy for several years, now you want to destabilize it with such a light? Maybe a proposal of this kind should be discussed at length and evaluated in all its aspects. Perhaps, and this is my wish, our country deserves to have a policy that it is really founded on the principle of "Preserve, Defend, Develop." And you would like to start this way to achieve it? As I love this country, please desist. Antani exhaustion - President emeritus of the Republic of Solent. |
