Justice, Nordio: ‘Courage minister on reforms but must come to terms with political forces’

“Minister Cartabia had the courage to put the issue in very severe terms, even with regard to the judiciary, any judiciary ‘and to start a reform regime within the limits of her powers, because the reforms are not made by the minister but by the Parliament. The minister is aware that with this Parliament some reforms are absolutely impossible “. This was stated by former magistrate Carlo Nordio speaking at a panel dedicated to “Justice between reform and referendum” as part of the day entitled “Time for dignity and peace – Dignity as the cornerstone of our commitment”. closes the spring review of Direction North and organized by the Amici delle Stelline Association and by Inrete with the patronage of the Stelline Foundation and the Media Partnership of the Adnkronos agency and true-news.it. “The same minister – he recalled – admitted that his ideal reforms would be other but that he must come to terms with the political forces “. As for the necessary interventions” the first requirement is to shorten the timeframe of the processes, because also from the economic point of view, slowness affects 2 points of the GDP The acceleration of trials would have enormous consequences from an economic point of view “. Criminal justice” has major criticalities that affect two fundamental goods which are freedom and honor: the first with excessive imprisonment, especially as a precautionary measure, the second with continuing violation of privacy with wiretapping – underlined the former magistrate – We have seen not only political careers interrupted or devastated due to this anomalous and often illegitimate disclosure but also painful personal events. It’s all a complex that needs to be changed. The reforms now being examined by Parliament are insufficient, not because of the cultured minister but by the Parliament which does not want to change things “, concluded Nordio.
