Resist temptation to ride people's fears says Mattarella

(ANSA) - ROME, SEP 15 - President Sergio Mattarella said Friday that politicians should resist the temptation to ride the wave of emotion stirred by people's fears.
    "If there is something a democracy cannot afford, it is for its conduct, that of the authorities and citizens, to be moved by purely circumstantial feelings, with a prevalence of. .. impulses of anxiety and fear," the head of State told the annual assembly of industrial association.
    "There are two possible errors - obsessively repeating the issues according to a logic that says, when faced with the challenges that life presents us, it is enough to highlight them without adequately and courageously seeking solutions.
    "Or, worst still, giving in to the fears and the cynical temptation to ride them". (ANSA).
