Carlo Nordio calls for Constituent Assembly: the Constitution has aged

Carlo Nordio, magistrate elected to the Chamber with the Brothers of Italy, underlines the need to reform the Constitutional Charter which, in a certain way, has aged in relation to the new needs of our society. The magistrate was interviewed by the Messenger and also spoke of semi-presidentialism and justice reform. “Our Constitution was a miracle of compromises, written by great statesmen but today it has aged, like all things in this world, and needs to be adapted to new needs. Obviously, this can and should only be done with the help and contribution of the majority of political forces. Personally, I would prefer a Constituent Assembly, as the Einaudi Foundation has long suggested, of which I am honored to be a part. As for presidentialism, or rather semi-presidentialism, it would be a guarantee of stability that is lacking today. In France, he was sought out by De Gaulle after the crisis caused by the Algerian war: it works, and no one dreams of saying that it is a dictatorial regime ». So to Messaggero the magistrate elected with FdI in the Chamber, Carlo Nordio.

For Nordio, “today the priority is the economy and therefore also the most urgent interventions in justice are those that can immediately affect the budget. It is necessary to reduce the length of proceedings, the mother of legal uncertainty, the distrust of citizens, the contraction of investments and the slowdown in the economy that costs us 2% of GDP. So it is necessary to free directors from the so-called fear of signing, which paralyzes their activity and, therefore, to radically review the crimes of abuse of power, influence peddling and all those forms of accounting responsibility that make them, understandably, very cautious . In perspective, of course, is the full implementation of the Vassalli code, a liberal code desired by a Socialist decorated by the Resistance, repudiated by years of demolition work.”
