the last “piece” of the “Justice Package” is being examined by the Council
The bitter political tensions, which in recent years had accompanied the Justice dossier – theoretically at the center of this session -, they appeared almost insignificant, in front of the harsh reality of war. Works suspended, in the middle of the afternoon, to allow the carrying out – as you have heard – of a Extraordinary State Congress. And due to a strange game of fate, one of the very first paragraphs to be addressed today should have been that relating to the ratification of the agreement with Russia onvisa exemption. It was decided to move it – along with others – at the end of the agenda of the session. A postponement indefinitely. A shared agenda has already been filed yesterday on the crisis.
As for the mere parliamentary news, we are about to complete the regulatory package wanted by Secretary Ugolini. The Chamber quickly approved the PDL on the subject of abstention and objection by the magistrates; which should overcome deadlock situations registered in recent years. A text – perhaps the only one of the 4 – which registered a substantial approval of the minority forces; also because it aims to make procedures more agile and guaranteed. The only ones perplexity of the oppositions – which have not, however, made “barricades” – have concerned the attribution to the Managing Magistrateand no longer to the Judge for Extraordinary Remedies, of the competence in the matter of abstention.
We then moved on to the last piece of the “Justice package”: the reform of the criminal procedure. Numerous innovations, in the name of shipping, modernization and strengthening of the principles of the “Just Process”. There seemed to be all the elements for a shared path; except for one passage, severely stigmatized these days by Free and RF, and concerning the introduction of the third instance judgment. While not opposed in principle, the Oppositions have pointed the finger at the timing and modalities of this modification; evoking possible effects – such as the prescription – on processes such as the “Mazzini account” and the “Case Titles“.
Two, therefore, the relationships. Followed by the intervention of Secretary Ugolini, who noted that it is not correct to focus on cases currently under consideration by the judicial authority. There cannot be – he said – a “selective justice”. Finally, you defined the text as “a good synthesis”. In short, the speech promises to be quite heated, and will continue in night sessionwith the start of the vote on the articles.
