Luckily presidents are not monarchs says Mattarella - Politics. President s, "luckily", do not have to agree with the laws they promulgate, President Sergio Mattarella said Tuesday.
"He does not make the law his own, he does not agree with it, he simply does his duty," Mattarella told manager of the journalistshealth fund CASAGIT. "Luckily that is no longer the case. The President of theRepublic is not a sovereign, happily, and therefore he doesn't have this power", he said.
