Paolo Maddalena, “intellectual decay and abominable questions”
The quorum for the Referendum on Justice of the June 12, 2022 was not achieved. The professor Paolo Maddalena he is a jurist, magistrate, Vice President Emeritus of the Constitutional Court, former President of the Section of the Court of Auditors and founder of the association Implement the Constitution. It was most voted in the first round of elections for the President of the Republic in the 2022. Maddalena offers a broad reflection on the referendum questions, preceded by a ‘introduction on the damages of neoliberalism and a final closure onimportance of the values of the Constitution often under agreement; in this regard, he points out that “the left-handed blow against the Constitution derives from two elements: the privatization of essential public goods and services and energy sources; and from the financialization of the markets. Wealth has thus passed from all citizens to few citizens “.
Maddalena highlights the “intellectual decay that we have been living since the murder of Aldo Moro onwards, especially in the juridical sphere where there is a struggle between the people, the legislator and a small part of the people against the republican constitution, that is, against it. Individual interests are pursued based on particular visions for the collapse of civil life“. These movements and thoughts” have a common matrix: selfishness And antisocial interests. Neoliberal ideas are a loose cannon that breaks through the community, the people and the constitutional order that we live in, to make everyone so as to be prey to the most crafty, which are the multinationalsthere finance… “All this” makes us lose the essence of being men. An essence that is in the first three articles of the Constitution “.
Hoping immediately not to reach the quorum, Maddalena argues that vote YES the referendum questions would have led to a “a damage for justice to citizens“and would have been”a favor to multinationals, to political parties, to those who want the destruction of the Constitution and ultimately to those who aim to replace the Constitution as they wished Licio Gelli“(of the deviated Masonic lodge P2) to transform it “into a presidential form where someone like him is in charge Victor Orban“(the President of Hungary)” come RT Erdogan“(the President of Turkey)” and not as a democracy like ours, which even if it has so many troubles, at least allows us free speech. I imagine how bad I would be if they blocked my voice! “.
“My judgments are very clear” – explains Maddalena – “and are based on value huge which has the Constitution, onexperience that I did to the Constitutional Court and on study that I have dedicated for many years to this exceptional document, the best constitution in the worldagainst which a crowd of people who do not have the good of the nation at heart, but only their own selfish and individual interests in spite of the solidaritywhich instead is the dominant element of the Constitution “.
