Naples, 25 Jan. (askanews) – “All opinions are welcome, all expressions of dissent, I thank you for an extremely composed demonstration, dissent is the salt of democracy. However, that one could think that a minister who at 30 years old just entered the judiciary was for three years at the head of the investigation against the Red Brigades, the entire Venetian column, and witnessed the death of some of his colleagues. That a former magistrate has as his objective the humiliation of the judiciary to which he belonged, I find it particularly inappropriate”: these are the words of the Minister of Justice, Carlo Nordio, speaking in the Hall of Busts of Castel Capuano in Naples at the inauguration ceremony of the judicial year in Naples, amid protests by magistrates against the reform of Justice.
“The constitutional reform is a reform that has an exclusively technical origin,” the minister stressed. “There is no crime of lèse-majesté and even less a violation of the independence of the autonomy of the judiciary and prosecution. It is written in very clear letters in the constitutional reform,” Nordio added during his speech.
Outside the old courthouse of Naples, magistrates registered with the ANM staged a protest against the constitutional reform of Justice. On their toga, a tricolor cockade, in their hands a copy of the Constitution and a sign with a phrase by Piero Calamandrei. The magistrates left the Hall of Busts as soon as the Minister of Justice began his speech.
