Sala Clementina, l 'ultima udienza del Pontefice concessa a Capi di Stato fu donata agli Eccellentissimi

Capitani Reggenti della Repubblica di San Marino

A/termine dell'udienza Generale ai fedeli in piazza San Pietro, Benedello XVI ha ricevuto nella Sala Celementina del Palazzo Apostolico, prima il presidente della Repubblica Stovacca lvan Gasparovic; poi i Reggenti Teodoro Lmrfèrnini e Denise Bronzelfi nel suo ultimo impegno ufficiale da Papa. Si chiude così un pontificato storico anche se controverso. Si disse a/momento del/ 'elezione del cardinale Ratzinger: "Svuoterà le piazze, riempirà la chiese". È successo il contrario: piazze, come ieri, colme di fedeli, chiese, meno.

~ Letters and Opinions (Received end published from San Marino Oggi) WE, WITH OUR LAND l always read what happens in San

Marino and my curiosity makes me qulckly scrutinìze for articles of interest, and/or equal rights. Due lo the many writings from clttzens residing here, l did expect, at least, a certaln amount of support in the newspapers frorn some politicians, frorn the Executives of the Consulta , and l ha ve also wondered many times about the sllence from the Association San Marino-America. Perhaps, we do not realìze that from some we are afso considered stubborn emigrants because we did not return at the op· portune moment when there was a golden period in our Land. Are they

righi? Perhaps, but il we are stubborn people, we are also in loving our land and our people and il help is requested in the future, we will always be there as In the past. lt is certain that nothing l or other frìends can do to create a certain clamor In San Marino to get a true interest on our rights. lt remalns the hope that our voice, at least, ls heard in our communities and they will understand, once and forever, tihat they are being taken by the seat or their panls and oddly, a iso from those who govern the Consulta.

the community that one day wifl pass the torch of theìr belng Sammarinese to the next generations. Among the attending honored guests, very apprecìated

was the presence of the newly efected Secretary of State for Foreign Affalrs, Honorable Pasquale Valentinl. As customary. lhe next day before saying goodbye to the

community and retuming to San Marino, lhe Secretary attended a small event at the hall of lhe Fratellanza Sammarinese ot NY. Alter some refreshments offered by our Lady Auxiliary, a session of questions and answers bega n. Questìons regardìng lhe well-being of lhe Republic, re

For a good connoisseur (coni from page 8) America and other Countries, and about laws and regulations designed to render more dffflcufty In maintaining our 'Sammarlnesità". lt was asked: why must we produce a 'CertifiCate of Good

Conduci', refeased by the locaf authoritfes, if we need to renew a Sammarinese passport? What do we have our Consufate for? Also asked: was why certain polìticians do not believe we shoufd have a cltìzenshfp in the natlons where we lìve and wor1< besides the Sammarinese one? lt was asked: why we run the risk to 1oose our sovereignty

by allowìng groups of specufalors and investors from China to inject tremendous capltals in our economy? We asked his opinion about the retorms to the electoral laws, the possìbllity to vote via Consulate or electronfcafly, and how come ìf one resident abroad, goes to vote in San Marino can only vote for a Party but not for a given candidate? Even one of our distingulshed Honorary Member of the Fratellanza strongly exposed the importanoe of ali the subjects discussed and of the rìghts of ali Sammarinesi, which is protected by our constitutìon inside or outside our Nation. Al the end or the event, alter ali lho questlons were asked, we ali waited tor answers and expfanatìons, but tor 45 minutes we only heard a sorrowtufly story of personal experiences in his life, but nothing about what was asked. Later, atler lhe usuaf goodbyes, the handshakes and the well wishes for a good trfp, everyone went home or to a hotel, and the visit left us, perhaps, with a waste of lime.

~ Letters and Opinions (Received end published from San Marino Oggi) WE, WITH OUR LAND l always read what happens in San

Marino and my curiosity makes me qulckly scrutinìze for articles of interest, and/or equal rights. Due lo the many writings from clttzens residing here, l did expect, at least, a certaln amount of support in the newspapers frorn some politicians, frorn the Executives of the Consulta , and l ha ve also wondered many times about the sllence from the Association San Marino-America. Perhaps, we do not realìze that from some we are afso considered stubborn emigrants because we did not return at the op· portune moment when there was a golden period in our Land. Are they

righi? Perhaps, but il we are stubborn people, we are also in loving our land and our people and il help is requested in the future, we will always be there as In the past. lt is certain that nothing l or other frìends can do to create a certain clamor In San Marino to get a true interest on our rights. lt remalns the hope that our voice, at least, ls heard in our communities and they will understand, once and forever, tihat they are being taken by the seat or their panls and oddly, a iso from those who govern the Consulta. Therefore, do not let tihem deceive you and finally believe what ASER has said for a long time and many tlmes; quit the Consulta and to retum only Il the requests of ASER, published in past

years, is approved. By the way, Dear Executives or the Consulta, you are noi even respected with the due dignily of represenlatives of citizens In foreign countrles.
