ROME (ITALPRESS) – “We have to think about compensating people who end up in the judicial gridiron for years, losing their health, savings, and perhaps their jobs, because some pm did not think about the consequences of his reckless and, in this case, incomprehensibly limited initiative to a single minister.” Thus, in an interview with Il Messaggero, Justice Minister Carlo Nordio, taking his cue from the acquittal of Deputy Prime Minister and Minister Matteo Salvini in the Open Arms trial. According to the guardasigilli, “just as the judiciary must be independent of politics, so must the latter be independent of the judiciary. I hope, in the same interest of the judiciary, that each of its investigations will be considered absolutely irrelevant in the political sphere.”
That is why, according to him, the separation of careers is needed to “guarantee the thirdness of the judgment,” explaining that “by the summer we should have the double reading” although “there will hardly be two-thirds, so it will go to referendum. And I hope so: if there were 2/3, given the political mischief, someone could insinuate under-the-table deals. Whereas with the referendum, the citizens will decide.”
According to Nordio, the justice reform “certainly is the one that has the best chance of getting to the bottom and in the quickest time.” Then he adds, “This is the Nordio-Meloni reform, and I claim it.” As for a possible strike by magistrates, according to the minister, “it would be of absolute gravity and the government would not give an inch. It is not a coup to think of passing a constitutional reform according to the procedures set by the Constitution itself.”
