November 19, 2019 "To consciously face the time of interdependence, governing its effects, even with new formulas and reshaping structures and skills, means on the one hand involving all the institutions, and with them the intermediate bodies, in an enterprise to revive the country, which takes together innovation and justice, quality and competitiveness, effective rights and awareness of solidarity duties ". Thus the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella at Anci. On the other - President Mattarella continued - it means strengthening the investment and the European dimension, the only one capable of making us protagonists in global processes ".

Sustainable development as a popular goal
"The quality of life in the metropolis, as in the villages, in the inland areas and in the mountain territories, which can really make the citizens participate in this transformation, and make sure that sustainable development becomes a great popular goal" added the Chief of State.

Re-launching interventions for suburbs
"We could not even talk about the 'smart city' if we neglected the necessary redevelopment and security of the suburbs. It is more appropriate than ever, as the Anci maintains, that the interventions in favor of the urban peripheries have a concrete revival on the national level, and that manage to integrate with adequate social and welfare measures ". So Mattarella, who adds "municipalities can do a lot if not left alone".

The Municipalities are the base of the Republic
"The Municipalities are not the periphery of the Republic but the base of the Republic". Thus Mattarella, for which the Municipalities also "constitute an essential feature of our national identity and, as they are at the root of the order, feed it by virtue of representativeness and greater closeness to the concrete communities of life. This is why it cannot exist an effective public strategy that excludes the municipalities or keeps them on the margins ".
