A meeting to discuss the next measures in terms of justice, and two photos to testify to the soundness of the relationship between the Prime Minister and the Minister of Justice. After the announcement made in Algiers, Giorgia Meloni received Minister Carlo Nordio at Palazzo Chigi, who has been criticized in recent days for his statements on the distorted use of wiretapping and the attack on anti-mafia prosecutors.
At the end of the interview, which lasted about three hours – and which was also attended by Undersecretary Alfredo Mantovano and Undersecretary of Justice Andra Delmastro -, the Prime Minister underlined that “doing fair and swift justice to citizens is an absolute priority of this Government and a commitment they made with the Italians. We are determined to keep it as soon as possible.” A statement ‘enriched’ shortly afterwards by two photos of the meeting released by Palazzo Chigi: in the first Meloni and Nordio greet each other warmly, in the second they are sitting at work face to face with the smiling Prime Minister listening to the Minister.
In short, a way of following up on the words uttered in recent days by the two protagonists. Nordio, after stating that he “never thought of resigning in the slightest” highlighted “the perfect harmony” with the Prime Minister, who in Algeria – first through a note and then during the press conference after the meeting with President Tebboune – had shielded the Guardian of the Seals speaking of an “absolutely excellent” relationship, recalling that she had “fought so that he could be on via Arenula”.
The meeting, therefore, also served to show, with images, that the line of Palazzo Chigi is not in conflict with that of the minister. Of course, in the justice dossier it is Meloni’s intention to avoid a clash with the judiciary, but rather to open a dialogue with the judges to seek solutions together. A line of common sense was also ‘followed’ by the Guardian of the Seals who, on the occasion of the inauguration ceremony of the judicial year in the Cassation, stated that “all future reforms, before being entrusted to the evaluations of the sovereign Parliament, will be composed listening to all the voices of the justice system, from advocacy to academia and the judiciary”.
During the meeting, according to government sources, the issue related to the need to give life to “a reform closer to the citizen” was addressed, which provides certainty of rights and certainty of punishment. In addition, the “time” of career separation was discussed, “to design a more liberal justice”. Also on the table is the launch of a huge prison plan “like never seen before”, assure the sources, to guarantee the certainty of the sentence. Meloni also reportedly called vehemently for a “decisive and radical change of pace to tackle the widespread criminality that plagues citizens.” For the prime minister, it should be “a priority to guarantee the social security of citizens”.
Obviously, the knot linked to the use of wiretapping, “a theme of civilization” was also addressed: the tool is not in question, it is the reasoning, but a distorted use cannot be accepted, a perverse mechanism that has produced leaks and means pillories of communication that destroyed people’s lives. Nordio then recalled the big theme of “signature fear”; for this we need a global review of crimes against public administration that allows administrators to act with serenity knowing whether or not the signed titles are illicit. It is also a question of guaranteeing differentiated administrative speed, also required by the Pnrr, simplifying the rules of the process.
