MESSINA (ITALPRESS) – The Minister of Justice Carlo Nordio was a guest in Messina, at the SES-Gazzetta South auditorium, to present his book “Una Nuova Giustizia” (Guerini e Associati), in the context of the meetings organized by the Bonino-Pulejo Foundation in view of the referendum on justice of 22 and 23 March, dedicated to the comparison between the reasons of “yes” and “no”. “I was judged, the toga never forgets – said Nordio – and I always argued that this debate should be kept on content. There was a moment when unfortunately the tones were lit. There has been a providential and welcome suggestion of the Head of State to lower them and is what I am trying to do. Unfortunately on the one hand and on the other there were exaggerations. Personally, I think that apart from the book – which is the epilogue of six books I started writing years ago – it is useful to keep the comparison in civil terms.”.
The Minister then referred to participation in the vote. “There is less affection on turnout. I hope it’s as high as possible. It is a matter that is difficult enough to explain to citizens, but it can be explained in clear terms: this reform is not against anyone and not even for anyone”. Nordio also dismissed accusations of wanting to strike the judiciary. “What weighed me most is to feel that you want to do a reform to humiliate the judiciary. I entered the judiciary in 1975, treated three murders of the Red Brigades, witnessed the massacre of magistrates of the ministry that I now run and conducted several investigations, the last on corruption in Veneto. It may seem almost schizophrenic to think that a magistrate who risked life from the beginning of his career would humiliate a profession he would do again. Today we finally lowered the tones and talk about content.”.
