Mantovano: It is likely that the judges will not apply it. Palazzo Chigi: let’s move on. Justice reform and the separation of careers under the objective
At Palazzo Chigi there are “doubts” whether the Safe Countries Decree is the most effective solution to safeguard the CPR in Albania. So much so that at the end of the half hour of the council of ministers which approved the measure, Giorgia Meloni was “furious”. While during the discussion she remained silent. She then did not show up at the press conference explaining the decree-law and canceled another scheduled for this morning. Precisely to avoid uncomfortable questions. And the judicial conspiracy theory continues to hover within the government. According to which the decision taken on Friday by Silvia Albano was a direct message. End justice reform and career separation. It is for this reason that the measure was reduced by half. Also on the advice of the Quirinale.
The furious Prime Minister
According to the history of Republic it was Undersecretary Alfredo Mantovano who explained that the king is naked: “I want to be clear. It is very likely that the judges will ignore this decree. » But Meloni would not listen to reason: “Let's move on. We need to send a political signal.” Nonetheless, the most complex legislative assumptions were omitted from the text. Such as those that sought to remove immigration courts from adjudication and replace them with justices of the peace and courts of law. appeal and those who provided for new rules to leave migrants in Albania even with unfavorable sentences. This is the hypothesis mentioned in the days preceding the decisions of the Rome court: considering the CPR as an Italian territory altogether. and leave the migrants there even after the convictions. A hypothesis on which Minister Matteo Piantedosi had worked, finally giving up after reading the sentence.
The ineffective decree
During the hours the decree was being drawn up at the Chigi Palace, the prime minister let other accusations against the dresses flow. Claiming that the battle of the democratic judiciary against the government was at the root of the conflict in Albania. And that the real issue was the separation of careers. On which there is a compromise hypothesis put forward by certain “ambassadors” of judges: ok for the reform but no drawing of lots for the Superior Council of the Judiciary. Meloni, however, wants to move forward because “only in this way can we take away the power of the currents.” The majority is now aiming for an agreement at first reading by the end of the year. And too bad if, in the meantime, the conflict with the judges intensifies. For an ineffective decree written by its own offices.
