The pandemic imperatively requires a change of priority. Minister Marta Cartabia in the Senate hearing starts again from the virus. From the role of justice and how the coronavirus has changed methods and times in recent months to celebrate the trials. In short, the minister starts from here to re-tie the ranks and the commitments that the government intends to carry out. Starting with the honorary judiciary to get to the statute of limitations, up to the electoral law.
“The commitment made on the prescription must be honored.” The Minister of Justice, Marta Cartabia intervenes in the hearing and clarifies that “the issue must be dealt with promptly”. L Hence, the crux of a “reform of the system of the honorary judiciary, but also the recognition of” job protection “to honorary judges currently in service”. The Constitutional Court – explains the minister at the hearing – has drawn an “insurmountable perimeter” within which the honorary judiciary can operate. And it is clear that this pronouncement will require an overall review of the role of the honorary judiciary in the legal system. The contribution offered by the honorary judiciary in many areas, and expanded especially in recent years also in view of the disposal of the arrears affecting the justice system of our country, can and should in perspective be limited only to certain types of functions, according to the indications rigorously drawn up by the Court ». This side of the interventions, he added, “will have to be accompanied by the now unavoidable problem of the professional, salary and pension protections of honorary magistrates who have long been brought to the attention of Parliament and are now the subject of various pronouncements by internal judges and by the same Court of Justice of the European Union ‘. Finally, the passage on electoral reform. For the owner of via Arenula, «the bill contains a very broad program of reforms and in particular it starts from the need to overcome the problematic profiles that have emerged in relation to the functioning of the Council itself. Yes, a reform of the electoral system is envisaged with the aim of reducing the weight of currents in the choice of candidates and in determining the components of self-government ».
