''It is a success for everyone that, for 14 years, every day, in their own way, have organised themselves and given a little of their time and their money so this could be possible,'' Radical leader Marco Pannella said after the approval of the resolution for the Moratorium on capital punishment at the UN General Assembly.
“We were expecting this result even if everyone else was saying that it wasn’t a sure thing,” Pannella added.
Visibly moved, the Radical leader said: “The way I feel in my soul right now is very complex. This is because if you lose you can go to the Bahamas, however if you are successful there are troubles: we now need to double our efforts to avoid this success being wasted and worn away, and ensure that it is turned into the definitive abolition” of the death penalty.
