1994 - 2007: the same film script

First the Minister of Justice who intervenes on Forleo’s requirements, now the Attorney General of the Cassation Court, with a warning to the judges from the President of the Republic to watch what they are writing. It seems like a film I’ve already seen.
In 1994 as soon as we arrived at the top levels of politics, there was a coalition of the whole system to criminalize the magistrates, rather than to do a serious examination of conscience about what had happened in the relationships between politics and business.
Thirteen years later, we’ve got exactly the same issue as we had then. And once more, it seems as though it’s the magistrates who are at fault for trying to do their duty and not the politicians who are trying to take advantage of their role.
However, now as then, I have the impression that there is a clear division between the legal country, the one of the high-sounding institutions, and the real country, that country of people who want true justice, equal for everybody.
