Nordio “Improper to think he wants to humiliate the judiciary”

NAPLES (ITALPRESS) – “All opinions are welcome, all expressions of dissent, and I thank everyone for an extremely composed demonstration, are the salt of democracy, but that it can be thought that a minister of 30 years in the judiciary and three years at the head of the Red Brigades investigation, that a former magistrate can have as his goal the humiliation of the judiciary to which he belonged, I find particularly improper.” Justice Minister Carlo Nordio said this during the opening of the judicial year in Naples. “Does it seem to you that, having been a pm for 40 years to be free and independent, would want a pm
subjected to the executive power? It will never happen, not in the name of this constitutional reform,” he added as the ANM magistrates had already left the hall. As those present applauded. “I once again thank the efficiency and industriousness of the judiciary. On the latter I would like to add two things. Many times I have also used expressions that are not quite in line with the general vulgate, however,” he explained, “I have always felt proud of one thing, to say that it is its industriousness and competence. Every time I heard that magistrates work poorly or produce little, I had a kind of sense of rebellion as a magistrate at the time and as a minister. The second one that is a bit more painful is that someone might think that this constitutional reform is punitive for the judiciary,” Nordio concluded.
