PRESS RELEASE
Romics supports freedom of expression. Solidarity with publisher Shockdom.
The organisation of Romics expresses its full solidarity with publisher Shockdom for the events occurred to its detriment on Sunday 10 April. A despicable action. All those who love comic-books, as well as any other artistic form, know well that satire and irony may concern even politics and historic figures. Romics has always shown itself contrary to any form of violence or offensive behavior. Our Festival aims to enhance and promote comics, animation, cinema and games as languages of aggregation, intercultural dialogue, as channels for sharing.
The organisation, thanks to the law enforcement, has acted immediately in defence of the operators who were present at the stand.
It is our hope that this kind of situations must never occur again.
