'No use moaning' says Napolitano -update

(ANSA) - Rome, September 22 - Italian President Giorgio Napolitano on Monday told 3,000 students that now is not the time to moan, but to be bold.
    "New, courageous policies for growth and employment" are needed if Italy and Europe are to emerge from a deep economic and social crisis, the president said in a ceremony marking the beginning of the new school year. "Today not only Italy, but the whole of Europe, is grappling with a profound crisis," he said. "Clearly, this is not the time to huddle within our old national enclosures and moan about the EU, but to come together in a common effort," he said.
    Starting in the 1950s, Europe chose to stand for pluralism and human rights, Napolitano said.
    "This is the civilized heritage Europe has decided to defend against a new wave of fanaticism, terror and barbarism that has unfortunately been gathering steam," the president added. The way to uphold Italy's Constitution is to "reject every kind of violence, abuse, and form of corruption," Napolitano concluded.
