Compared to the Cartabia reform «Minister Nordio is making a leap in quality which in our opinion is negative, with an even constitutional reform, a reform that if it is carried out we will carry with us for many years, which will create an imbalance between the powers of the Statean imbalance that citizens will pay for on their own skin.” The president of the ANM, Giuseppe Santalucia, said this, speaking to journalists on the sidelines of a meeting at the University of Catanzaro, a meeting which followed a meeting of Santalucia and other representatives of the ANM with the magistrates of the District judicial office of the Calabrian capital. «It is a reform – added Santalucia – which unfortunately does not remedy the problems that the Calabrian territory has, problems which are many and are above all related to resources. Here there are many magistrates who come especially for their first appointment, full of enthusiasm, full of desire to do but who encounter daily problems and difficulties due to the absence of means. The picture that the magistrates painted in our assembly today is a bleak picture: we are working with very high numbers and with very few resources. The reform – the president of the ANM continued – will only get worse, not only for Catanzaro, but for the entire national territory, because it will create a less independent, less autonomous judiciary and this will be a factor that will further increase inefficiency” .
“It’s our duty to say what’s wrong”
«There is no wall to wall. We try to fully represent, as long as we have a voice and strength, the reasons for opposition. We always hope that Parliament, which is the place of our popular sovereignty, can realize a reform that will not bring good results.” «It is not true – Santalucia then added – that the reforms have not taken place, and that we are waiting for a major reform. The reforms are constant, every legislature brings major reforms, Cartabia has made important reforms, today would be the time to implement the reforms, to focus on the implementation of the reforms, not to create further reform sites, so justice does not will ever come out. Dialogue and confrontation with politics – the president of the ANM continued – is our first objective, no desire for conflict and opposition. But we have the duty to say the things that are wrong, so that Parliament can decide and decide better. We continue in our commitment, we hope that this commitment can be fruitful.”
“There is a plan to isolate the prosecutor”
«The careers are already separate, in the sense that whoever is a public prosecutor is a public prosecutor, whoever is a judge is a judge. Citizens must rest assured on this, there is no possibility that the same person will sit in the same seat. This is the separation of functions, of careers in their procedural dynamism. It is another thing to separate the judiciary and this will not lead to any good.” . “This – added Santalucia – is a plan to separate the judiciary, isolate the public prosecutor and make him closer to the police force and therefore to the ministry”.
