At the conclusion of the inauguration ceremony of the MED Forum Alf 2016 took place on Sunday 23 October 2016-from 22 and 30 at 0.30 - the first meeting between the President of the ALF Elisabeth Guigou and a large part of the leader of the national networks Alf: present the Dire Executive officer of the ALF Ambassador Hatem Atallah.
President Guigou took note of the state of discomfort of almost all the leaders-also highlighted by the intentional failure of some of them to participate in the forum of Malta-for the lack of involvement of the networks in the preparation of the forum itself and a Modest participation of the members of the networks at the event.
In addition to this, a lack of communication has been highlighted between the Alexandria Secretariat and the national networks, recalling the urgent need to revise the rules, role and functioning of the Anna LINDH Foundation and its networks, establishing whether to strengthen the role Centralist of the Fondazione Anna Lindh or the networks of the 42 countries, as foreseen in the Statute of the ALF.
President Guigou shared the generous proposal of President Capasso to host in Naples next February 2017 an "ad hoc" meeting of the leader in order to redefine the role of national networks within the ALF.

I wish to extend a warm greeting to the organizers and to all participants - wrote Sergio Mattarella in a message - especially to young people who express their hope to see the wars, violence and limitations of human rights canceled in every corner of the world. Peace - continued the Head of State - is an issue that does not only appeal to the heads of nations or restricted ruling classes. The peoples are suffering the consequences of wars.
