«I decided to participate in the assembly of the National Association of Magistrates for the first time in my life, because they have never been generous with me, even when in the years spent here in Catanzaro we had titanic wars with the centers of power. We came out alive and victorious, but I reflected and despite everything I was there to represent the difficulty of the moment and the importance of the referendum. Why vote no? Because apart from the sophisms, apart from the exegeses that can be done on every word, on every syllable, the final result is that we want a public mystery bureaucrat, a tamed public mystery, a docile public mystery that behaves exactly like the negative of a perfect bureaucrat”. This was said by the Naples prosecutor Nicola Gratteri, on the sidelines of an initiative in Catanzaro, commenting on the debate on justice reform and the separation of careers.
The meeting promoted by the CISL “Seeds of legality – Culture and development for the future of the territory”
Building networks between institutions, schools and the world of work to strengthen the culture of legality and encourage the growth of the territory. This was the theme of the meeting «Seeds of legality – Culture and development for the future of the territory», promoted by the CISL Magna Grecia at the Teatro Comunale of Catanzaro, with the participation of fifth year students from three high schools in the capital. The meeting was attended by the prosecutors of the Republic of Naples and Catanzaro, Nicola Gratteri and Salvatore Curcio, the archbishop of Catanzaro Squillace, mons. Claudio Maniago, the police commissioner Giuseppe Linares, representatives of the Guardia di Finanza, Carabinieri, Dia, Chamber of Commerce and the business world. In his speech Gratteri highlighted the importance of direct discussion with students. «These are useful meetings – he said – not wasted time. Kids absorb everything, the good and the bad. Over time I have met many young people who told me that they had chosen their own path after participating in meetings like this. This is why I continue to believe in it.”
Curcio underlined that «meeting kids is fundamental, especially in a society where families often have little time. Dialogue with them means offering awareness tools to make personal and collective choices with full awareness of the context in which they live.” «The message we want to send – declared the general secretary of the CISL Magna Grecia, Daniele Gualtieri – is that of building a network between the judiciary, institutions, the business world and schools. The union wants to be a bridge between training and work. There is no shortage of work in this area, but adequate skills are often lacking. We need to reduce the gap between supply and demand to allow young people to stay in their homeland.”
