The intervention of the Head of State at the memorial to Napolitano Bocconi. About a month after his death, Tommaso Padoa-Schioppa, the great economist who died last Dec. 18, he was recalled to Milan, at the memorial ceremony organized by the Bocconi University, his university, with the assistance of the Head of State Giorgio Napolitano.
A memory of great intensity and involvement. A tribute to the complex figure of one of the fathers of the euro, Aula Magna Via Sarfatti we are gathered numerous personalities, as reflected by Mario Monti, President of the "business school" in Milan. Former Prime Minister Prodi ministers Maroni and Tremonti, the Governor of the Bank of Italy Draghi, European Central Bank President Trichet al'esponente of the Executive Board of the ECB Bini Smaghi, by Jacques Delors, former President of the European Commission Paul Volcker, former Federal Reserve chairman and an adviser to Barack Obama.
E 'was the head of state Giorgio Napolitano to illuminate' by Tommaso Padoa-Schioppa, to emphasize the ethical rigor of "civil servant", the passion civil, intellectual sophistication, his knowledge of economic theory. Have been revised pages of the most important European political and economic history written with the help of Padoa-Schioppa, a prominent member of the board of the ECB in Frankfurt (1998-2006), "an authentic militant European Union."
"the country learn from the rigors of Padoa-Schioppa, one of the best Italian," said Napolitano. "A person of profound democratic vocation, a scholar respected everywhere for its great ability to judge. A public servant of the thing exceptionally also assumed direct political functions and that, in one as in the role, concurred stating the contribution and the prestige of the country in Europe. " In the words of President Napolitano
the memory "of his disappearance" of his strong commitment to a common goal: European integration. And it is precisely the political destiny of Europe, which Napolitano has directed the heartfelt words of his speech, recalling the thought of Padoa-Schioppa: "The single currency is a step on the road to European political union, it must now confront and overcome in Europe the lack of political unity, a litmus test for his future. " A forward-looking hope.
"In fact, he said the head of state, we have experienced before the crisis of the Eurosystem, the consequences of not having been able to put a strong economy and a political order, as called for Padoa-Schioppa, in defense of a strong currency. "A single currency without a country!
Padoa-Schioppa, former Minister of the Prodi government (that of "big babies", the "treasure" and "nice to pay taxes"), he realized in time and space for ambiguity and uncertainty on European Union had become closer. Hence the call of the President to the "need to act to develop the process of European integration, which Italy is called upon to give a new impetus."
"Di room for hesitation or even worse, they have to fall back was really little, "he warned Napolitano. In each country must ask in the right direction on how to do their part to carry through the long process of political construction of Europe started in the aftermath of the deaths and destruction of World War II. "Your part as Tommaso Padoa-Schioppa has always done, with high sense of responsibility, and like him all the men of profound democratic vocation and training."
An appeal to find shared values \u200b\u200baround the original spirit to revive, in a time of great economic stagnation not only an ideal, low voltage, the visionary project of the Fathers founders of a united Europe. A project for which Europe Tommaso Padoa-Schioppa has spent time in the certainty that "a united Europe, a common expression of feeling and a common desire to walk in history, will be the winning answer to globalization."
"To him, concluded Napolitano, deserve the gratitude of the nation I represent a renewed commitment to the Italian contribution to the European cause, passion and ideas. A contribution that will not fail if we can, looking at our European destiny, demonstrate awareness of the past and a sense of future. "
