A very large audience in Taormina, for Taobuk, waited for Nicola Gratteriin Piazza IX Aprile, to listen to the crystalline word of the magistrate, prosecutor of the Republic at the Court of Naples.
The top theme, in the conversation with Elvira Terranova, “Justice between reforms and global challenges”, theme on which Gratteri’s thought is clear. To the minister Nordio who in Taormina said that there are times defined for the reform of justice and that the separation of careers is absolutely not punitive to the judiciary, gratteri counterattack: “The reform wants politics, not the constitution, and I have never asked myself the problem if it is punitive, otherwise we would go on a personal level and when they do the reforms you just need to discuss whether the reform is needed”.
And on the psycho -actual tests to the magistrates, Gratteri agrees, but “as long as they are also made to politicians (and since we are also there also the Narcotes and the alcoholtes). And for the day on judicial errors, “okay yes, but also the day on politics errors”.
He applauded warmly, he clearly argued the many topical problems posed by Terranova: the slowness of the civil causes, the slowdown of justice (with the paper reform), the interceptions (“it is not a question of saving the money of the PNNR”), and, again, the debated liberation of Brusca: “The law issued by the State must be respected but the magistrates must be careful in the preliminary phase of the investigations and understand the profile of the collaborator of justice well ». And then the mafia, indeed the mafias: “The mafias are transformed, they camouflage themselves because they need the community, and we from the unification of Italy on then interacted with the mafias”, as in the book written with Antonio Nicaso, “one thing. As the mafias have integrated in power” (Mondadori).
And therefore the Security Decree, criticized by Gratteri because “it will be difficult for white collars to go to jail” and youth crime, “a problem that has lasted for years due to the crisis of western culture and family and for growing consumerism. The school does what it can, but the bureaucracy takes time to education ». And to the question of Terranova: «You are a very escorting man. But who makes him do it? “, Gratteri:” If you are convinced you do the right thing you do it, I am a free man and I have a free thought. Freedom is to be able to look honestly the other in the eyes and say what you think ».
