The context of the reform
Il bill constitutional to separate the careers of magistrates is ready for examination by the Senate, set for June 11. This decision, taken by the Conference of Group Leaders, has sparked a heated political debate, with the opposition denouncing a forcing has always been compression of parliamentary debate.
The centre-right, however, defends the choice, arguing that the opposition had ample opportunities to express its positions.
Political reactions
The Keeper of the Seals, Carlo Nordio, said that the opposition has already had enough time to discuss the reform, which was approved by the Chamber months ago. According to Nordio, the Senate must proceed with a adequate discussion without falling into obstructionism. The Deputy Minister of Justice, Francesco Paolo Sisto, reiterated the importance of moving forward with seriousness and tenacity to ensure the constitutional principles of due process.
Protests and tensions in the Chamber
Tensions in the Chamber are palpable, with M5S senators showing up with signs reading Democracy Silenced. The proposal by the leader of the PD, Andrea Giorgis, to remove the fixed date for the reform was rejected, marking a vote that, according to the center-right, also compromises the mediation attempts of the president of the Senate, Ignazio La Russa. La Russa had suggested also bringing the bill on the end of life to the Chamber, but his proposal was ignored, leading to a further postponement of the discussion.
The concerns of the ANM
The National Association of Magistrates (ANM) has expressed concern about the acceleration of the legislative process, warning that a forcing could jeopardise the debate on a reform that has the potential to change the face of the Constitution forever. The opposition, including Avs and IV, denounced the imposition of the majority as a clear demonstration of authoritarian drift of the right, highlighting the Government's lack of consideration towards Parliament.
