Justice, agreement between the parties on the reform: magistrates divided on the strike

The reform of the CSM, albeit with difficulty, is advancing. The general discussion is underway in the Chamber and the majority agreement seems to hold, in the sense of not weighing it down with further amendments that would translate into yet another (friend?) Crossfire. As widely announced, and reiterated in the classroom by Cosimo Ferri with a very controversial speech, only Italia Viva should abstain among the parties that support the Draghi government. But this is a choice that does not jeopardize the approval of the reform. The objective that emerged from the meeting between the Ministers of Justice Marta Cartabia and of Relations with Parliament Federico D’Incà with the justice managers of the majority parties is to reach approval as early as Thursday afternoon, without the government having recourse to trust. The time factor is decisive: the reform will then have to pass to the Senate and, once definitively approved, return to the ministry for the implementing rules, necessary to be able to renew the CSM (expiring) with the new electoral system.

At the same time, the National Association of Magistrates gathers its steering committee to decide on the forms of protest against a reform that displeases the vast majority of robes. «Today is not a pressure on political power, but rather a moment of high democracy. The strike is one of the tools of protest, certainly strong, I hope we don’t have to get to this, because I hope that some parts of the reform can be attenuated ”, says the president of the ANM Giuseppe Santalucia.

But surprisingly, a voice is raised against the strike by the historic progressive component, the Democratic Magistracy.

With a confidential letter delivered this morning to the president of the ANM, Giuseppe Santalucia, the Democratic Judiciary does not skimp on criticism of the reform, “inadequate to affect the pathologies that emerged” with the Palamara case “that have questioned our credibility”. In particular, the inspiration of a “misunderstood idea of ​​meritocracy degenerated into careerism and the tendency to strengthen internal hierarchical elements” between heads of offices and simple magistrates cause “concern”.

The letter also focuses on the majority electoral system “which detaches candidates from the territory in which they may have demonstrated their credibility and guarantees a few decision-making centers the possibility of governing the electorate”; on the separation of functions “which is in friction with the constitutional dictate” and crushes the public prosecutor “in an exclusively accusatory” and anti-cigarette dimension; on the assessments of professionalism “which risk setting back the culture of the magistrates” in a conformist and pyramidal key.

Up to now these are widely shared positions. But MD also criticizes the ANM, “whose action appeared to us to be untimely, devoid of a healthy self-criticism, timid and incapable of proposals, having privileged the preservation of the existing”, which made it irrelevant in the dialogue with the government and parliament. And he disengages himself from other currents in evaluating the strategy, fearing that the strike will sound like “a corporate defense of our status” whereas “the reform mainly damages the citizens”.
