“This year again, important elections will be held in our country. This will be an opportunity for those of you who meet the legal requirements to freely exercise your civic duty. It will be up to you, when the time comes, to make your choice responsibly, calmly and serenely.
I therefore ask you not to listen to the sirens of chaos sounded by certain irresponsible people.
Do not let them use you to satisfy their pernicious design, namely to create disorder in our dear and beautiful country.
Do not let yourselves be lulled to sleep by the fallacious and mostly unrealizable promises that they are trying to sell you.
For my part, I can assure you that I will continue to be at your side to meet the challenges you face.”
Time will tell
