The merit of the proposals is flawless, no credibility
Silvio Berlusconi says that the reform of the justice that will be presented Thursday at a meeting of ministers is "epic." In theory, you're right. The measures advanced by Alfano are strong and entirely acceptable. No guarantee can disagree. It is sacred to separate the careers of those judges pm, because due process is based on the absolute impartiality of the judge. The splitting of the CSM is sacrosanct, because the prosecutor must have a self-governing body. It is the sacred responsibility of the civil courts, at which Italians already spoke out and walked away in a referendum (1987). In fact, if you have to judge by advance, you could Alfano reproach of caution, because the mandatory prosecution is another taboo subject that should be broken with more decision.
The problem is another: what is a credible Prime Minister accompanying the announcement of "turning point" with the usual coarse attacks on the judiciary? How do you give credit to where a majority of government lawyers, and avvocaticchi peons are working day and night to devise rules for removing a personal basis Berlusconi processes? It is not enough to reassure a denial of Ghedini. Experience shows that the center led by Rider was able to propose and sometimes even passed laws shame. And once again, while Alfano profile almost british working to refine the reform package, everything around him is a bustling short limitation of anti-pm quirks, limitations on witnesses for the prosecution, while Berlusconi himself to have re-launched yesterday a law on wiretapping, the law also necessary in itself. The fact is that where a bank would use and abuse in the publication of indiscriminate wiretapping, thinks the knight instead of a proper tombstone on investigative tool and the freedom of the press. It is not the same thing.
There is no clearer proof of justice when Berlusconi claims that it has become the biggest obstacle to a real period of reform. Whatever it touches, is dirtied by the conflict of interest, whether economic or judicial. Al Knight fails to hold for more than a few hours the man's doing. The resumption of the executive is a gigantic bluff. Someone should explain to the Prime Minister that it is useless bundle agencies are statements about reforms in the yard, trying to prove that the government has again focused the country's real agenda if he offers to media allegations that he criticized the institutions that will inevitably steal scene and titles to the catalog of good intentions. The choice to appear in court one day week - the choice that meets the recommendations of the Hill and all who care institutions - is nullified declared intention to transform its presence in a controprocesso. The courtroom is not the stage of a rally. If the rider intends to use it as a political forum, could do more harm than from defaults.
At the same time, however, a reformist left that is a candidate to the country's government can not use the presence of Berlusconi as an excuse ever for not ruling on the substance of issues. This has happened with federalism, a subject about which the oscillations tactics - before the courtship to the league with maximum aperture of credit, then no in parliament - the failure to understand what is the Democratic position on reform. It should not be justice.
We have said that Berlusconi is not credible. If the premier is convinced that by approving the reform will be a historic move, the Democratic Party from taking it into words. The challenge. And I ask, in exchange for passage to the history and collaboration, the withdrawal of all the rules on a personal basis, the end of the war on the judiciary, a commitment to defend themselves with all their resources (not just) saying now that will accept the decision at the end of the process. Berlusconi will? We think not. But at least you will build the Democratic Party the opportunity to explain to the country that the reform of justice is all right. And what a government center is ready to do it, if he has the support of voters.
