San Marino. The Friendship Festival is back: three days of debates, music and events
From Friday 19 to Sunday 21 August, in Piazza Bertoldi in Serravalle, the appointment with the 49th Friendship Party of the Christian Democratic Party of San Marino arrives.
«Also this year we have prepared ourselves to celebrate with many friends, families with children, young people and grandparents, and to spend three evenings together in joy and friendship. Because only by being together – he begins the Political Secretary Gian Carlo Venturini – we understand the value and importance of each person and of being a community, one of the most important strengths of our country. The party will be an opportunity to live this experience and to reflect on the political choices that San Marino will have to make in the coming months, choices that the PDCS will carry out with responsibility, thinking of the good of all the San Marino people ».
The political evenings, as always, will take place on the Ex-Ritrovo Terrace, and trust will have two specific themes: the crisis of citizenship in politics, which has the power to make the choices necessary for the common good and, increasingly topical, opportunities offered by the Association Agreement to the European Union which should materialize next year. “During the recovery of credibility and by the citizens in their representatives the political choices that should be made in recent years. Furthermore, we wish to strongly reaffirm the important opportunities that will open up for San Marino following the definition of the Association Agreement with the EU, a result absolutely to be achieved. The Christian Democracy, progressively renewed and matured in recent years, has recovered its credibility in a political action made of concrete thanks and competence, keeping the value of the person and the search for the common good at the center.

On Sunday evening, at 8.30 pm, in Piazza Bertoldi, the Political Secretary of the PDCS Gian Carlo Venturini, will propose his political synthesis to all the friends of the party. «Since the beginning of this legislature – Venturini anticipates – despite the difficulties experienced, deriving from COVID and the consequences of the war in Ukraine, we have made many interventions that have made our country safe and made it grow. Two indisputable signs are a balanced budget in 2022 and unemployment at an all-time low. We had promised to “build on rock” to give stability to San Marino and we did it. We, we did it. Now we need development and growth and the PDCS will work again, with this concreteness and responsibility, to lead the country. The Feast of Friendship will be a moment that, in sharing with all the friends who want to come or return to party with us, will be able to raise awareness of this commitment! ».
