The head of state has never made any direct reference to Article 18 of the Statute of the workers, but in his words there seems to be a clear reference to the debate on the work that is tearing the Democratic Party and the trade unions. Words that suggest a clear endorsement of Napolitano in respect of the reform of Renzi.
“Especially in Italy – is the warning of Napolitano – definitely must renew our institutions, our social structures, our collective behavior.” Today – he explained – not only in Italy but throughout Europe are struggling with a deep financial crisis, economic, social.

While, among values enshrined in the first part of the Italian Constitution, the President of the Republic recalled the “rule of law, respect for the institutions of the dialogue: the values that are used not just in words but in deeds rejecting all forms of violence, every injustice, every form of corruption.”
Giorgio Napolitano then urged the teachers: “We believe in you, in your contribution, in your spirit of sacrifice. Trust in the clarification and concretization of the commitments announced by the government to overcome situations of unsustainable policies of the past have never solved. “
