"Today, I feel I can claim significant progress has been made in terms of certain fundamental rights and that I can represent with conviction the values for which we have worked. The law on civil unions, which has now been implemented, is inspired by the value of effective equality in secularism. We now have a law that represents a turning point in civilisation for our country. The law on assistance for people with severe disabilities who lack family support is oriented towards the value of protecting vulnerable people. The same law finally introduces, for the first time in our legal system, a generalised system of compensation for victims of intentional violent crimes. I believe this is also an important sign of civilisation. So too is the law that tackles the hateful phenomenon of “caporalato”, approved last year, a phenomenon that undermines the dignity and value of workers. It is also our duty to safeguard fundamental guarantees in the area of reception and the right to asylum."
