It would be serious if the president of the republic claimed tasks that are Constitutionally delegated to others, President Sergio Mattarella said Tuesday.
“It would be serious if one of these figures, including the President of the Republic, were to claim to attribute to himself tasks that the Constitution assigns to other powers of the State,” he said.
"And this is an indication of democracy that is part of that harmonious design that our Constitution indicates and presents in a sincerely admirable manner for those who wrote it, who had the strength - in difficult and also dialectically very heated conditions - to define and approve it. This too is part of freedom, in respect for the freedom of all those to whom the Constitution assigns a task, which - he went on to say - no one else can take away to make it their own.
