Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and I thank my colleagues.
Our thoughts, of course, are with the family of Corporal Cirillo, who unfortunately passed away. We extend our sincere condolences to his family.
Although it is difficult for us to return to work today, we must never forget that, yes, we represent the people, but we also represent democracy. We have a duty to protect this democracy and to pursue our fight so that it continues to exist and to grow.
Today, more than ever, we must continue to debate openly and transparently here in Parliament.
However, we also need to show solidarity in how we respond to terrorism, how we shape our international policy, what we do with our armed forces and how we implement security measures.
We believe in democracy and we remain vigilant. Let us act responsibly and not allow panic to prevail over good judgment.
