“Secret trials take place in liberticidal systems.” Giuseppe Santalucia (Anm) attacks the joke for journalists, developed by the minister Nordic on the impossibility of publishing the text of precautionary measures for preventive detention. Although the separation of careers reflects “a punitive intention towards the judiciary as an institution and this will be to the detriment of the entire community”. The association of magistrates will discuss this reform on Sunday, during an extraordinary general assembly.
“Secret trials take place in liberticidal systems”
“The trial is by nature public – says Santalucia to Adnkronos – and it is the mark of the democratic civilization of a country to have a public trial: secret trials are carried out in liberticidal systems and certainly not in democratic systems – declares Santalucia – That everyone knows what that happens in the courts even in the delicate phase of preliminary investigations, when freedom comes into play”.
“If a person is deprived of a primary good, freedom, it is good for everyone to know why public control is one of the most effective controls – he continues – They acted more with the interests of certain groups of possible defendants in mind than the general population. You need to know why you were arrested by the judicial authorities and let everyone know because it is a form of control.”
“Wrong reform of career separation”
Santalucia also intervenes in the reform of the separation of careers that was discussed in the Chamber yesterday and that the ANM will discuss on Sunday, in an extraordinary general meeting.
“It is a wrong reform because it does not in any way address the real problems of justice; it deals with justice in its power relations with the other powers of the State and, according to the statements of the proponents, it is a kind of political revenge on the judicial closure of the Mani Pulite season of which unfortunately we still suffer the consequences”.
“There is no punitive intention towards magistrates, but there is punitive intention towards the judiciary as an institution and this will be to the detriment of the entire community”, he concludes.
“Danger of inducing public distrust”
The National Association of Magistrates also opposes the Day in memory of judicial errors: “The danger is to induce public distrust”.
“I doubt that a day in memory of the victims of judicial errors can achieve a useful result, I believe that the widespread awareness of public opinion and citizens on this issue does little”, said Santalucia heard at the Chamber’s Justice Committee. “It’s as if we wanted to establish a day in memory of the victims of diagnostic and therapeutic errors, which are a tragedy like judicial errors. But I don’t understand the meaning of it.”
The green light in the Chamber’s Justice Committee for the unified text for the institution of the National Day in memory of victims of judicial errors was given on December 3rd at the proposal of Italia Via, which had the support of Forza Italia and Cool. Pd and Avs abstained. Against 5 stars.
