"The party seeks to engage with reality, to guide and shape it according to its intuition, in the light of its human ideals. For a party, and above all a party such as ours, is an obligatory point of passage from society to the State, from the particular to the universal, from fact to law. It is called upon to understand reality, but also to pass judgement on it and provide a guiding principle. It starts from individual positions, yet already amalgamates them, already effecting a synthesis in which the State begins to exist. The party, far from exhausting its task in a crystallisation achieved once and for all, maintains a permanent dialogue which constantly verifies the validity of the legal framework and ensures its continuous adaptation to the living demands of social life and thus to a criterion of substantive justice."
