San Marino. Secretary Ugolini blurts out: “The attacks on the operators of justice are unacceptable. The sentences must always be respected”
The oppositions “throw mud indiscriminately, demonstrating an alarming form of intolerance towards the complete independence of the judiciary from political power”.
It is the harsh judgment that the Secretary of State for Justice Massimo Andrea Ugolini reserves to minority political forces after comments on the reform of the justice system and the appeal sentence on Mazzini.
Ugolini talks about “worrying dystonia in the positions taken against the Court by the opposition political forces that are approved with one hand they pretend to have started the reform process of the criminal procedure code and with the other they throw mud indiscriminately “.
“After years of inaction and arising in the past legislature conflicts on the issue of Justice, the current opposition does not find better to do than cast shadows on authoritative figures and representative as members of the Guarantor College, Lawyers and Magistrates “.
The Secretariat therefore dissociates itself “from all the attacks made on the Chief Magistrate John Song and to all the institutional bodies that, contrary to what may be insinuated, have worked on a reform process that brings the rule of law of the Republic of San Marino to the highest levels of international standard “.
“Politics – writes the secretary – must never be in the actions of the judiciary and, in processes independent of the expectations that everyone can have, the sentences must be respected.
It is irresponsible to continue to fuel political exploitation of acts that have a purely procedural character “.
The Secretariat underlines that “there are two different levels of judgment: the political one, which entrusts the choice of its representatives to the citizens, and the exclusively judicial one, which is the exclusive competence of the Judiciary.
Reviews that travel on separate tracks and must always remain distinct. The law reforms are aimed precisely at guaranteeing a state of fullness and fair justice, unlike what happened in the recent past ”.
