TORINO (ITALPRESS) – “Avvocatura plays a fundamental role in our order because it fulfils a principle at the base of our legal civilization, the right of defence as a bastion against any form of arbitrator. No one can lose or be deprived of the right to be defended in judgment because the loss of this right is to come less than the dignity itself of the person. For what radically distinguishes a civil order from a regime is precisely the integral respect for the dignity of every person, whoever it is, whatever crime has committed, whatever penalty has been inflicted upon him at the end of a judgment. So you are those who protect, even before the procedural position of your assistants, the very foundations of the law and the pillars of our common life.” Thus the President of the Council, Giorgia Meloni, in a video message at the XXXVI National Forensic Congress in Turin.
“Without lawyers not only would there not exist justice, but there would not be even the precondition for achieving that just process that our Constitution sanctions and that the constitutional reform on the separation of careers aims to make concrete – he adds. Because there can be no fair trial if not in contradictory before a judge who not only must be third but must also appear as such. It is exactly what we intend to do with the reform of justice to the examination of Parliament, which provides for the separation between the accused and the judges, which aims to ensure a true equality of prosecution and defence.”.
“Forensic profession is a depositary function of a constitutional rank, founded on those principles of independence and tertiousness that ensure the effectiveness of judicial protection and the democratic hold of the order. The lawyers, like the whole world of free professions, preserve a specificity and an economic, cultural and social value that this government has always recognized and defended – Meloni emphasizes. It is the reason why we have written and approved also with the valuable contribution of the National Council of Forensics a reform of the forensic professional order that was able to make the normative picture in step with the times, with the evolution of our society, with the profound transformations that Avvocatura is experiencing, starting from the epochal challenge of artificial intelligence that does not touch only you of course, but all intellectual professions. For this reason we wanted to return centrality to the Avvocatura to remove it from the marginalization that develops its role and diminishes the public value of the defensive function. We did this because without free and independent lawyers there is no justice and without justice there can be no democracy. This is the path we want to continue to travel to make the dialogue between institutions and professions more and more important for the growth, development and prosperity of the nation,” the premier concludes.
