an address to senators on Wednesday, Draghi stressed that Italy is "a secular state, not a confessional state so Parliament is certainly free to debate and legislate.""Our legal system contains all the guarantees to ensure that laws always respect constitutional principles and international commitments, including the Concordat with the Church.""Secularism is not the indifference of the State to the religious phenomenon, secularism is the protection of pluralism and cultural diversity," he added.The technocratic leader also flagged that Italy had been among the European Union member states to condemn recent anti-LGBT laws in Hungary in a joint statement.The Vatican note stated that some parts of the text contravene a Concordat in force.
