Sometimes the calendar also becomes a political issue. And therefore, it is difficult to read the following story as a “coincidence”, but much easier to interpret it as a sign of substance. Yesterday, the Government placed its trust in the PA’s decree, the device that contains amendments relating to the suspension of concurrent supervision by the Court of Auditors on the implementation of the Pnrr and the extension of the tax benefit to administrators. At the same time, the Association of Magistrates of the Court of Auditors met in an extraordinary meeting. A meeting, it seems, that took place over the weekend based on sincere requests from the base. Well, in the context of the meeting a very harsh note was drawn up. The association, it reads, “reiterates its clear opposition to the two norms that remove the projects of the National Plan for Recovery and Resilience from the concurrent control of the Court of Auditors and extend the exclusion of administrative responsibility for serious intentional acts committed by public persons. and private, effectively reducing the protection of public finances.” And, again, the accountants say: “The functions of the accounting judiciary are not at stake, but the protection of citizens. The confirmation of the tax benefit, in the absence of an emergency context pandemic in which it was born, prevents the prosecution of those responsible and the recovery of distracted resources, ensuring that damages continue to be the responsibility of the community. economy, means weakening the guarantees of legality, regularity and correctness of administrative action.” Thus, the Association “with the tools it has at its disposal, will continue to carry out its functions in defense of the independence and autonomy of the accounting judiciary”.
In summary, while the government exercises its legislative power, accountants enter the debate together, certainly legitimately in terms of public confrontation. But this leaves some perplexity if we consider the constant practice, exercised by the judiciary in our country, of intervening with a certain indifference on the merits of the choices of those who have the task of writing the rules. A practice from which a left of the old and new coinage, never freed from the instinct to politically capitalize on judicial events, extracts oxygen and arguments. “The complaint of the Order of Accounting Magistrates is well founded, as in this way the safeguarding of the legality, regularity and regularity of the administrative action is compromised”, wrote yesterday Debora Serracchiani, president of Justice of the Democratic Party. “The controls are suffering,” noted 5 Star Movement leader Giuseppe Conte, referring to the government.
And in addition to the reactions on the left, it is worth mentioning that, right at the beginning of a week that marks, like the previous one, a fierce duel between the government and accountants, the President of the National Association of Magistrates, Giuseppe Santalucia. Obviously, he defends the reasons against the amendments that eliminate the concomitant control of the Pnrr and expand the fiscal benefit. He anticipates a meeting of his association on the Uss case, which will apparently be very critical of Justice Minister Carlo Nordio. He contests the government’s idea of abolishing the crime of abuse of power. As well as to exclude from the transcripts of the intercepts third parties outside the investigations whose references appear in the conversations. Even in these cases, therefore, there is a judiciary that intervenes in the Executive’s intentions by claiming what are, in fact, programmatic requests. In various facts and circumstances, the yearning for that “complementary service” in relation to politics evoked at the time by Francesco Saverio Borrelli seems to persist. In that eternal ’92 that seems to have no end. And it is the real limit of our poor country.
