Meloni meets Nordio after the tensions: “The absolute priority is quick justice”

“Giving citizens fair and speedy justice is an absolute priority of this government and a commitment we have made with the Italians”. Thus summarizes the thought of Giorgia Meloni the official note released by Palazzo Chigi after this afternoon’s meeting between the Prime Minister and the Minister of Justice Charles Nordio. On the other hand, there is no mention of the question of wiretapping, a critical point of the reform that the Minister of Justice would like to carry forward and a topic of confrontation with the opposition parties. Impossible, however, that the prime minister and the government official did not address the issue, also considering that “the next measures on the subject of justice” were at the center of the conversation.

It is known that Minister Nordio, who will be in Venice on Saturday for the inauguration of the judicial year of the Court of Appeal, would like to limit the use of wiretapping to cases of mafia and terrorism. Meloni, however, in recent days has curbed the hypothesis of the Minister of Justice and has sent a clear message to the opposition parties. In fact, although the government intends to intervene on the ratings, the prime minister does not want to go against the concerns of the magistrates and admitted: “I don’t want to repeat the mistakes of my predecessors”, in terms of justice and the judiciary.

On the subject spoke a Rainews24 also the president of the ANM, Joseph Santalucia: “On the reform of eavesdropping – he said – after so much talking I have not understood the direction in which the minister wants to move, we are still at the level of intentions, of announcements. If it is said that abuse is to be prevented, I agree, but this discourse must be made concrete. I don’t think there is an emergency but we are always available to listen, by comparison”. And the former police chief, Franco Gabriellion the sidelines of a meeting at the Scuola Sant’Anna in Pisa commented: “It makes sense to limit the improper use of eavesdropping to the extent that it is intended to limit some of their results from being used to discredit people. Having been a policeman and having benefited from them – he concluded – I believe that they are essential and fundamental tools for very many crimes “.

Polemic against the Minister of Justice the president of the National Federation of the Press, Joseph Giulietti: “Minister Nordio says every day that he wants to take a close look at the eavesdropping. I would like to hear him say once that he wants to put a stop to the gag lawsuits, against what article 21 of the Constitution threatens. I worry about what he says and especially what he doesn’t say.”
