Since the beginning of this legislature, the pages of the newspapers have been almost entirely monopolized by the issue of the justice system, a topic dear only to Silvio Berlusconi and his foot soldiers in the government. And every so often also to the superficial opposition. The most recent outbursts about Falcone by the President of the Council are reluctant. It’s enough to read an article by Marco Travaglio published in yesterday’s l'Unità.

If the information media were to offer a clear picture on what is described in this article, many Italian citizens would be in a position to see this governing group of mates, in a different light at the next elections. But the media stay silent, they do not make connections, nor do they do reconstructions, they focus on the details and the polemics. No one stops to consider the contents, since the contents can comment on themselves.

The justice system is not the priority for the country right now. The main topic is that of the economy, as can be seen in the international media except for the Italian media. The priorities are inflation at 6%, an uncontrolled increase in the price of goods of basic necessity, expensive energy, the increase in unemployment and the collapse in consumption and in production. These are the emergencies that should by requiring all the energy of those in government and of a constructive opposition.

In Vasto, on 12-13-14 September in the third national meeting of the party, we will talk about these priorities. We will work out how to organise and construct the political approaches that can tackle these emergencies. We will do this together with the citizens whom we are inviting to participate even through the Internet by sending in questions and proposals on these topics so that they can be discussed in the individual debates.

I repeat. The justice system does not need reforms especially if they are coming from this political class. Rather it needs to optimize the resources it has available.
