Politics and toga are an incandescent combination that involves professionals and ordinary citizens. Currently the wall against wall is evident. To understand the construction site of justice, Il Tempo interviewed the vice-president of the Chamber’s Justice Committee, Pietro Pittalis (Forza Italia).
An honorable week, to say the least, complex, due to the statements made by Minister Guido Crosetto and others, one that is about to end.
«These situations occur when politics begins a reform process. It may be a coincidence, but if you think badly of what someone said in the past, maybe you are right.”
Yesterday an extraordinary CSM plenary took place, with the presence of the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella and the Keeper of the Seals Carlo Nordio.
«We always listen with interest and respect to the words of the Head of State who is the true guarantor of both national unity and in the judicial sphere, since among his functions is precisely that of presiding over the CSM. Minister Nordio’s statements confirmed the need to carry out a profound reform – including cultural – of justice. Some measures, such as the annulment of the crime of abuse of power, for example, are already in the Senate.”
Precisely the most critical of the majority maintain that the renovation is at Palazzo Madama.
“Absolutely not. The moment is due to physiological parliamentary activity, I think it could be closed by January of next year, if not earlier. Then, there is another reform that is very important for Forza Italia. I am referring to the separation of careers between prosecutors and judges. It must be continued because it is a change in the system. It will go parallel to that of the prime minister, both are constitutional reforms. I specify that one does not exclude the other.”
What do you think of Undersecretary Andrea Delmastro’s case?
«For those of us who make guaranteeism a fundamental principle, it is clear that an accusation in itself means nothing. The Delmastro case is emblematic of a certain legal culture. The prosecutors themselves had requested the dismissal, as they considered the accusation manifestly unfounded. Apart from the technical aspect, this matter is not relevant, in fact Undersecretary Delmastro must move forward because he is doing an extraordinary job. We therefore reject the sender’s requests for resignation, which are purely instrumental. Let me add something.”
Please.
«We almost always talk about criminal justice, but we cannot forget the reform of the civil procedural system: a priority that cannot be postponed. We need to intervene in the critical issues in the process that the Cartabia reform did not resolve. Otherwise, we risk falling behind other European countries.”
