The (stumbling) Justice Machine
When the Unione presented itself to the electors, it promised to cancel the ad personam laws. Instead what’s been approved is a pardon that includes finance crimes as well as those against the public administration and against companies.
The ad personam laws have not been touched. For this the Unione will pay a high price at the next elections independently of when they are held. In spite of continual talk about Justice.
In spite of articles, dossiers and parliamentary discussions about Justice, up until now there’s been no real talk. The prisons were full and soon will be again because of the inefficiency of the Justice Machine. Will Parliament then have another pardon?
In Italy, as well as the lack of certainty of a penalty there’s also the lack of certainty of judgement. The trials last an intolerable time. The tribunals lack not just personnel, photocopiers, fax and computers but also paper.
In these conditions, it’s necessary to simplify the judicial process, strengthen the magistracy, make the tribunals efficient, direct the necessary funding into the Justice system so that it can function. The tribunals must be sorted out so that they can function so that the State can function, so that the economy can take off again so that honest citizens can be protected.

If I may ask, why is Mr Di Pietro in charge of transportation infrastructure and not doing what He knows best?. The Justice System in Italy needs to be urgently trashed and something radically new should be created in its place, Mr Di Pietro is the man for the job.
The Italian justice system is not just partially misfunctional, it is paralized, totally decrepit, irreparably broke and should be put out of its misery. Who needs a justice system that causes far more harm than the tort that it is supposed to remedy.
Who needs a justice system when the citizens that it is supposed to serve in a democratic socity are affraid to use it. The italian justice system rarely produces justice, it is mostly tirannical in nature and precludes those who need it the most from using it in the first place.
Dear Mr. Di Pietro, you have founded a new party with wonderfull moral and ethical premises. unfortunately, they have put you in charge of transportation infrastructure, this is absurd, it is an insult to the values that you and your party espouse. Who better than you could truly change, reform or expunge the last vestiges of fascism residing only in the Italian Legal System.
Please; decentralize the court system, make judges responsible to the people that they serve within the court that he/she presides, open up the courts to all those who need justice, let the judges rule publicly under the scrutiny of the public, let the light shine into the courtroom so that incompetent judges can be clearly identified and removed from the bench. let the people participate in their own courts. Mr Di Pietroshould be in charge of judicial reform not wasting time with transportation. Justice can be just only when it is publicly administered by competent and impartial judges, when everyone has the right to be heard fairly and publicly in a court of law in reasonable time (within weeks no 15 to 20 years). Those who resist the change should be locked up, beacuse they are commiting a crime against Humanity.
Best Regards
