Nordio Justice Reform? Don’t worry, Mattarella is not Scalfaro…

Nordio Justice Reform? Don't worry, Mattarella is not Scalfaro...

Comments and reactions to the Justice reform by Nordio. Damato's Scratches

No way. Poor Silvio Berlusconi had himself cremated as in an extreme, generous reconciliation with his opponents, despite having joked at the time about how much a tomb could cost him in which to deposit his body for just three days, after which he would be resurrected like Jesus , returning to the Father the nightmare of ending up becoming his deputy, and already the enemies have returned to warn of his presence. A naturally menacing presence as always, not harmless according to the representation of the archbishop of Milan.

HOW THE JUSTICE OF NORDIO PROCEEDS

Berlusconi "has already risen", as the usual, obsessed Fatto Quotidiano by Marco Travaglio imagined and titled, to celebrate this time not at the State, whose funeral would coincide with his Wednesday afternoon, but more particularly at the hated Justice , with a capital letter. A party that won't be brief because the government of Giorgia Meloni and the Minister of Justice Carlo Nordio , bequeathed by the Knight to Italy, will proceed in stages. Yesterday they only faced the first with the bill aimed at abolishing the abuse of trust, at a limited unappealability of acquittals and at a less easy use, or abuse, of preventive prison and the spitting even of strangers, or third parties , to a trial revealing very private interceptions without any criminal value. “Justice is redone”, Libero exaggerated a bit with satisfaction. "Timid but important signals", commented the lawyer Gian Domenico Caiazza more cautiously on the Riformista .

"Justice", in lowercase, "of Silvio", shouted Repubblica , slightly increasing the dose with the comment by Carlo Bonini entitled "a revenge called reform".

NORDIO, THE MAGISTRATES AND MATTARELLA

Naturally, the departure was enough and advanced to provoke what Corriere della Sera called "high tension" between Nordio and the magistrates. To whom the minister reminded that their task is to apply the laws freely approved by Parliament, without judging them and much less interfering in various ways to write them in their place, as has been permitted for so long.

Even the President of the Republic, and of the Superior Council of the Judiciary, Sergio Mattarella, in the presence of Nordio himself, wanted to take the opportunity offered to him at the Quirinale by the meeting with the togas returning from apprenticeship to exhort them, among other things, to "irreproachability and confidentiality of individual behavior, so as to avoid the risk of appearing conditional or biased" and to escape the temptation of "personalisms, entrenchment on pre-established positions, and above all of "dangerous perception of yourselves as moral authorities".

Fortunately, the times are long gone when the President of the Republic Oscar Luigi Scalfaro ran from the Quirinal to the trade union assemblies of the robes to assure them that never, ever, for example, would he sign a law for the separation of careers between prosecutors and judges, which was already mentioned then.
