Rome, Jan. 10 (LaPresse) – “They made it explicit. Yesterday Meloni said something that makes your skin crawl. When she says: ‘Government and judges must work in the same direction.’ What does that mean? That tomorrow morning a report, a tip-off from the police must be accepted and not discussed by those who are judges? Then there is no counter-power. Then you want power subjugated to power.” This was said by M5S leader Giuseppe Conte, speaking at the launch of the campaign for a No vote in the referendum on justice reform, underway in Rome at the Frentani Center.
“But look, this is nothing new, because if you go back to a post from late October last year, Giorgia Meloni had already explicitly said it, she had written it: ‘this reform is the most appropriate response to the intrusiveness of the judiciary’s interference in political choices.’ But then it means you do not want the rule of law, and you are also showing it with the reform of the Court of Auditors,” he added.
“So we must oppose this plan in every possible way. Allow me to say it: it is the return of the politicians’ house. It is the return of the untouchables. It is the return of those who want to have free hands to act and not answer to any oversight, and we must oppose them and make citizens understand” that there will be “the privileged of justice: politicians, white-collar criminals and friendly businessmen. For us, the principle applies: the law is equal for all,” he concluded.
