Political
power in Italy is based on the figure of the
President of the Republic,
the guarantor of the Constitution, whose task is to control the other
powers.
The
president remains in charge 7 years, and is the highest authority of
the State and represents national unity. Our actual president is
Giorgio Napolitano.
POWERS
OF THE STATE
The
legislative
power
is
held by the two legislative bodies, the Chamber of Deputies and the
Senate of the Republic.
The
executive
power
is held by the President
of the Council of Ministers
and the Council of Ministers.
The
judicial
power
is in the hands of the Constitutional Court (independent and
impartial).

The
constitution is the fundamental law of the state approved on December
22, 1947 with 139 articles that contain the basic principles, rights
and duties of citizens of the republic. Our constitution, as the
German one, has been copied by many nations for his right equality
and for its completeness.

| Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti |
In
the last period we changed the President of the Council of Ministers
as a result of the European economical crisis.
The
new chairman of the council of ministers is Mario Monti a
famous international economist who substituted Silvio Berlusconi
after 3 years of governement.
He
founded a political government formed by technical experts and
academics, not politicians, chosen for their skills and competence.The
current policy of the government is aiming at overcoming the crisis,
with a series of initiatives, financial manoeuvres such as a strict
policy, spending cuts and wastage, liberalization, investment in
productive activities and greater fiscal controls.

| Team of the new technical Government |
Italian
technical government headed by professor Monti has been approved and
it has gained the favourable opinion of the italian parliament and of
European Union which has reassessed the position of Italy .
In
the first 100 days the new government have operated more initiatives
and made more radical choices that in the last 20 years.
Most
of the Italians are convinced that with the contribution and the
support of all citizens the government will be able to resolve this
crisis which doesn't invest only in Italy but also other European
countries.
Currently
in
Italy
the
Council
of
Ministers is
considering
whether to
amend
Article
18:
it
speaks
of
the
possibility
of including
the
option
for
reintegration
work
carried
out
for
individual
dismissals
for
economic reasons,
the
choice
whether
to extend
also
to
the
new
civil
servants
.
It
was also
proposed
the
introduction
of
a
summary
procedure
for
labor
disputes.These
are
some
of the problems,
although
the
favorable
opinion of the
Council
of
Ministers,
should
be
addressed
for
final approval
of
the reform on
the
labor market.
the
Workers' Statute
refers
to
the law
n.
300
of
May
20, 1970
"Provisions
on
the
protection
of freedom
and
dignity
of
workers,
freedom of
association and
of
trade union
in
the workplace
and
on
the employment
standards",
which
is
one
of the
main
rules
of
the
Italian
labor law.
Article 18 of the Italian Workers' Statute establishes the so called real protection framework for a case of unfair dismissal, because it made no notice of grounds, because unreasonable or discriminatory because of an individual worker.
Without losing the right to compensation, the employee is given the right to ask the employer in lieu of reinstatement in employment, compensation equal to fifteen months' total remuneration of fact.
