President Sergio Mattarella delivered a strong message about the role of migrants in Italian society. His remarks emphasized the need to overcome competing interpretations and create a broader vision that includes birth rates, integration, and development. Mattarella emphasized the importance of addressing migrant integration, saying that "with their work, they contribute to the well-being of our society: it is a valuable contribution". This statement emphasizes the human, social, and economic significance of people of foreign origin who live and work in Italy. According to the President, addressing the birth rate does not contradict the existence of migrants. Indeed, the two issues are intertwined and reinforce one another: "It is not in conflict with the integration of migrants and their families, who contribute to the well-being of our community". This contemplation encourages a realistic and inclusive approach to the country's demographic future. Mattarella's statements come as Italy keeps fighting with a dramatic drop in birth rates and an increasing demand for workers in crucial sectors of the economy. In this setting, recognizing migrants' roles as important parts of the social and productive fabric has significant political implications.
