Integration is a powerful factor
promoting security, President Sergio Mattarella said on Tuesday
at the national assembly of retailers' association
Confesercenti.
"The presence of companies led by immigrant citizens is growing.
"Trade is also driving integration, a powerful factor of
security", the president stressed.
Speaking about a decline in household consumption in the first
semester of this year and concern over a climate of low
confidence mentioned by the national president of Confesercenti,
Patrizia De Luise, Mattarella said it nearly looked like the
"positive fundamentals of the economy appear to be unable to
balance the effects of a political and institutional conflictual
climate".
"Our system is something more than a set of laws and
formalities.
"Democracy is substance", which expresses "social development
where freedom, equality, fairness represent an objective and the
spirit of initiative is encouraged by non-invasive institutions"
and by powers that are not centralizing.
"With this precious baggage" it is possible to face the future,
said the president.
