I have asked for a political clarification regarding the topic of justice and the rule of law in relation to the regulation inserted into the Finance law about ‘time limit for conviction for accounting crimes’
A disastrous measure for the credibility of the Unione.
This is an amendment that in fact brings the behaviour of the Unione into line with that of Berlusconi.
After claiming to have fought the Berlusconi government’s 'ad personam' for 5 years, with a subterfuge, a regulation is introduced that prevents the State from recovering the sums of money that public officials and corrupt State employees have misappropriated from the State.
This amendment is absolutely serious even because it betrays the good faith of Italia dei Valori in relation to the fact that the government’s maxi-amendment must respect the Unione’s manifesto.
Unfortunately, Italia dei Valori finds itself sharing an objective responsibility for an amendment that has not been agreed. An amendment that it will not approve. However it is not sufficient to eliminate the amendment.
Those responsible should be identified by means of an internal investigation and measures against them should be taken immediately.
