Conte: “On justice, the main way is to give clear answers. Legality is a stainless value “

In the end Giuseppe Conte intervened. With a long post on Facebook. After Luigi Di Maio’s “mea culpa” on the mayor of Lodi and the request for an apology on that legal matter. But, «on the broader theme of justice, the Movement – writes Giuseppe Conte – has the skills and abilities to express a solid and mature juridical culture. We will continue to ensure our utmost commitment to carry out the reforms that have already begun, in the name of a faster, more efficient, but also fairer and fairer “justice system”. We will scruple to apply all the constitutional principles that involve citizens subjected to investigations and judicial assessments, starting with the presumption of innocence and the principle of a reasonable length of trials. But let’s be clear: the main way is to create a system that offers clear and certain answers to the question of justice, not shortcuts in the sign of “denied” justice ». In short, no U-conversions but above all no shortcuts. And he adds: “Recognizing some tones and methods used in the past as errors – as Luigi Di Maio did – means pointing out, even externally, some fundamental passages” of an “important process of collective maturation, which will have at its center , always and in any case, respect for the person, in his individual and social dimension, because we do not admit a superior “reason” to which to sacrifice the dignity of the human being and the effective protection of his fundamental rights and freedoms ». In short, “it is essential to remember that respect for the person and his dignity must be combined with the principles of transparency, loyalty and ethical rigor, which have always been fundamental for the M5S. Because the Movement is maturing, of course, but it will not archive the strength and courage of its historic battles to change the country. We will be an open, welcoming force. But also uncompromising to the extent that we are not willing to negotiate our principles and discolor our values. The principle of legality and the value of public ethics for our political community are stainless values ​​».
