Who beats Nordio?

Who beats Nordio?

After the hunt for Messina Denaro, the hunt for Carlo Nordio has begun. Damato's Scratches

To each his own, please, even in assigning alleged atrocities. Even before the current Minister of Justice Carlo Nordio, to whom Repubblica has already pulled his big ears because he would like – he headlined under "The temptation to gag" – to break "the coupling that binds magistrates and journalists", it was Luciano Violante years ago, as a former magistrate, former president of the Chamber, former president of the parliamentary anti-mafia commission, therefore not the latest arrival, to publicly express the hope of "separation of careers" at least between magistrates and court reporters. To which arrive more or less punctually at the politically right moment the indiscretions, tips and whatever on investigations, interceptions and the like necessary to screw up and put the uncomfortable politician out of the picture. And this without anyone ever paying anything, not even after the acquittal or dismissal of the intended victim.

THE FACT RELEASES ON NORTH

Due to the substantial continuation of this horrendous system, an impetuous wave arose against the "attempted" minister – I repeat with the title of Repubblica – to get his hands on it: a wave that is today the cover photomontage of the usual Fatto Quotidiano , accompanied by a editorial that assigns Nordio the title of "worst minister of justice" for about thirty years now, "bypassing – wrote Travaglio – respectable plasterers such as Biondi, Castelli, Alfano and Cartabia".

THE REPUBLIC AGAINST NORDIO

To return for a moment – just a moment – to Repubblica , I point out the "useless provocation" reproached against Nordio in the title of Francesco Bei's comment and "the minister of rancor" in the title of Francesco Merlo's comment, who also coined the title of "minister of Astio and Justice".

CASELLI ON THE NORTH

In the Press , the usually very strict, staid prosecutor now emeritus Gian Carlo Caselli, barely glorified even at the end of the television drama on "our general" Carlo Alberto dalla Chiesa, was unable to refrain from the least paradoxical thanks from the fortunately former fugitive Matteo Messina Denaro. Whose capture would have denied Nordio in the alleged uselessness of wiretapping in the fight against the mafia.

THE TITLE OF THE REFORMIST ON NORDIO

"Everyone against Nordio", the Reformist headlined in red after having printed in black the reproach addressed to him for "not wanting to submit to the prosecutors", among whom he made a career in his judicial activity without ever aligning himself with the worst habits of his colleagues.

THE POSITION OF THE SHEET

In this news, Nordio's confidence or threat, according to one's taste, collected in the Sheet of "possibly very well to leave" certainly cannot come as a surprise. Nor the representation, always leafy, of the relationship between the minister and the prime minister, who also so strongly wanted it, as "a complicated compromise strategy". Barring rapid, desirable and above all credible denials, I hope with all my heart, but not with all the conviction, to tell the truth.
