"We are called to a demanding test: Italy has what it takes to overcome the challenge. It will not win one territory alone against another, one institution will not prevail at the expense of another, but only the Republic, in its unity The ability to hold together plurality and unity will be decisive ". This was stated by the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella. "The same fight against the pandemic has confronted us with new questions on how to improve the service to citizens and avoid that conflicts and overlaps between institutions can create crippling inefficiencies or open dangerous fractures in society". "The principle of autonomy, of the Regions and local authorities, is at the foundation of democratic construction, because it belongs to the indivisible field of freedoms and constitutes a regulator of constitutional balance". This was stated by the president who adds: "The freedom of the territories and the autonomy of the communities are a contribution to national unity, in the framework of a loyal collaboration between the different institutional levels".
