San Marino. Future republic on government interference in justice: “It is a return to the worst past”
“The priority of the current government, from the very first days of its inauguration, has always been to take a hand in the court”.
He says it very clearly Future Republicexplaining in a statement that the majority“Faithful to the dictates of Gabriele Gatti, a person notoriously credited with a balanced and disinterested vision on the functioning of justice, proceeded to the ‘terra da ceci’“.
“Even those who, in a not so distant past, brought under the windows of the fulminating days of prison and wanted to call a national holiday on the last of Gabrieleti himself, not on the road to Damascus but from some comfortable and well-paid armchair – Rf continues with the accusations against the majority political forces -. The secretary Roberto Ciavatta, having given up the role of the revolutionary who denounced the alleged criminals by him from the microphones of the Great and General Council and in the real courts exposed with ramshackles, now denounces those who dare to write an opinion different from his in the newspapers. With the blessing of the secretary Teodoro Lonfernini, theoretically competent for information “.
Subsequently, Repubblica futura wants to see “which ‘new Court’ our country has, after having ‘turned the page’ with respect to the problems of the past: we heard about the formation of the current government, including the choice of secretaries of state, directly in the office of the magistrate Valeria Pierfelici “.
“An excellent viaticum for the autonomy of the powers of the State and the impartiality of the Tribunal itself!”, Comments the opposition party, who then adds: “We have seen, in this ‘renewed’ Tribunal, people secretly investigated for years in the open violation of the so-called ‘fair trial’ law, in the indifference of the manager of the Court and the Secretary of Justice Ugolini, yes, it really exists, it is not a hologram, and of the Bar Association ”.
And that’s not all: “We have witnessed the reform of the Judicial Council, what should be the self-government of our judiciary, with the inclusion as members of lawyers who, in a small reality like the Republic of San Marino, can almost wanting to contradict interest with the magistrates present in the same body. For good account, a lawyer has been appointed to the new judicial council, on whose professionalism and respectability, mind you, we have no objection, former defender of magistrate Pierfelici in some criminal proceedings. There are, even in the past, in truth, several years of dossiers prescribed due to inactivity or obvious errors of the Court. Yet nothing has happened and nothing happens ”.
Furthermore, “the third degree of theoretical judgment was introduced, something on which we can also abstractly agree European countries, in ways that lead to the consequent proposal, not dispelled by the acceptance of the future Republic to stop the flow of times of prescription after the second degree of judgment to dismiss certain processes “.
“Now – summarizes Rf – ain our Criminal Court we have a first degree of judgment, then a second, that of appeal, then the third, just introduced, in which it is still possible to postpone a new appeal process, and then go back to the third degree. And then who knows. In practice, the prospect of prescription, starting with the ‘Mazzini Account’ process, becomes very concrete “.
“In the meantime – points out Repubblica futura -, the Secretary of Health Roberto Ciavatta, not having the courage to take responsibility for his complaints to the Court against those who have committed the crime of opinions different from his own, invents the figure of the ‘letter ‘to the Court, a bit like those addressed to Santa Claus, to induce him to investigate some unfortunate person. Even a deceased person. Someone gets angry with the magistrate involved, many with Ciavatta, even from the government majority, but the real twist is the last of the hours: it turns out not only that Ciavatta did a complaint, all right, but even that, to order the magistrate to investigate various people and also for which crimes (but which ones?) was none other than the manager Canzio (on the basis of which law and which prerogative?). The executive himself released the exploit with a statement, also signed by the inevitable president of the Bar, in which he allows himself to criticize the Great and General Council after the approval of the laws on justice. That the executive of the judiciary takes the legislative power by the collar represents another, further novelty of this general renewal… ”.
“Obviously, the prestigious court skyrockets – Rf says with a polemical tone -. We could also add more, including the fact that an annual report on the state of justice is no longer presented to the Great and General Council and ask why. Better, obviously, that few people deal with it, in secret as is customary in the current government ”.
“Is this, then, the ‘new Tribunal’ for which the zealots of justice made so many proclamations and dispensed virtuous sermons from the opposition benches in the last legislature? Is this the Court that ensures an image of swift and reliable justice to citizens and investors? In the full-blown bankruptcy of the current government on almost every other issue, starting with the destruction of the now public health sector, the ‘terra da ceci’ of the Court stands out brilliantly as a return to the worst pastprecisely that past described in the ‘Mazzini Account’ ”, explains the minority political force.
