"Mr President, I would like to draw Parliament’s attention to the interview – published yesterday – that our President, Mrs Fontaine gave to an Italian newspaper
where she is openly and strongly in favour of state funding for private schools in Italy.
Now, at the moment this matter is the subject of a very heated political debate in my country and I think it totally inappropriate, if not intolerable, for our President to side so strongly with one party, given her institutional position, what is more, overlooking the fact that an article of the Italian Constitution talks explicitly about freedom for anybody to open a private school without putting burdens on the State.
I would therefore invite the President to take more care, at the time of a political debate in one of the countries of the Union, not to take sides and to respect, or at least take into account the existence of the constitutions in force in the various Member States of the Union."@en1
