[...] for the first time, an executive has proposed changes to the rights system, with an economic and social policy that is explicitly hostile to the ideas and proposals of the trade unions. Article 18 has become the symbolic reference point for all this. There is conflict, but there is nothing more ‘orderly’ than the struggles that CGIL-CISL-UIL have waged in recent months. When people talk about a ‘climate of hatred’ – referring to the trade unions – they are making statements that are out of place and have no basis in the reality of Italian society. Some attacks are not only unfounded, but literally disgraceful.

Additional quotes by Sergio Cofferati

[...] comics, perhaps out of snobbery, literary superficiality or simple indifference, are always considered second-rate, a pastime for the masses, a poor art form and therefore too often mistreated. Well, I repeat, for me this is a mistaken judgement. Example: Dino Battaglia interpreted great classics from Melville to Maupassant to Rabelais, and his work was truly a unanimously recognised masterpiece, a magnificent work.

Il personaggio di Bonelli ha scandito generazioni, resistito a mode e cambiamenti, mandato messaggi positivi ed educativi per i ragazzi. Tex, infatti, è un positivo: sta dalla parte dei giusti – non dico dalla parte dei buoni, termine inflazionato, di questi tempi... –, ha coraggio e dignità, è un bianco, ma è anche il capo degli indiani. Leggendo le avventure mi ha sempre colpito la rappresentazione dello spirito di gruppo, il legame con il figlio, con l'indiano, con l'amico Carson. Il messaggio è quello che conta, in tutte le cose: i cartoni animati e i fumetti giapponesi sono pieni di violenza e morti, Tex è pieno di scazzottate e morti, anche, ma è l'avventura, con la maiuscola, è la fantasia che va.
