CARD SINGS
Espresso, 11 March 2011
"We reforms! , "screams a man of Altan on 'Espresso a year ago. And the other, puzzled: " yet? But we had not already done? . I am 17 years old who announces the "great reform of the justice." Now, his goodness, Silvio Berlusconi threatens a "momentous". Unfortunately this is not the umpteenth reform of Justice, but the judges will upset the constitutional tenets of judicial independence, uniqueness of their careers, mandatory prosecution, the CSM of self. But, if it ever comes into force, not shorten the duration of a nanosecond processes, universally known as the first plague of Italian justice: why not even touching the mechanisms are unclear of criminal procedure, but involves only the structure of the judiciary. As for his prodigious "epoch-making" is to smile, as the project-Berlusconi Alfano musty, half from being copied to the "Plan of democratic rebirth" piduista of Licio Gelli (1976) and half from the draft of the Bicameral Boato D 'Alema (1998).
Judging by the expectation-spasmodic threat followed the announcement of Prime Minister and Keeper of the ad personam, it seems that the Italian justice system suffers from lack of reforms. Bale: he's had far too many. No other sector of civilian life was "reformed" in the Second Republic, as Justice. According to the researchers openpolis.it, Parliament does little else: it takes 60 percent of his time to discuss and approve criminal laws, while the attention devoted to combating corruption is one-twentieth, one-sixth of unemployment, the protection of cultural and artistic one-fifth, third to scientific research, combating tax evasion half. From 1994 to date were adopted nearly 200 laws in criminal matters. All presented as resolving to shorten the Bible processes, have regularly had the opposite effect: increasingly lengthen. If in 1999, from preliminary investigations to the decision of the Supreme Court, spent an average of 1457 days, today (to the Ministry of Justice) are above 1820. Also because in the meantime have been continually cut funds to the budget of the Justice, who have created appalling inefficiencies and uncovered in the establishment. In Milan, according to court in Italy, the missing years by 35 per cent of the clerks. And it is rare to find a courthouse in the country, where hearings are celebrated in the afternoon after 14: it lacks the support staff turnover and overtime are locked. Simply fill in the gaps, even amalgamating twenty smaller courts in the province to double the productivity of the courts, the backlog rather than helping them to accumulate.
But none of this "era" reform has ever occupied. Indeed, as he wrote Louis on Ferrarella Corriere della Sera, " processes are slow processes become even slower . On the one hand the expectation of limitation encourages lawyers to come up with all sorts of loopholes to extend even more the stock. The other, the Pinto Act of 2001 (one of the masterpieces of the center), which govern the grounds for compensation for the excessive length of trials, has had this beautiful miracle: these causes alone, occupy 20% of appeals to the Courts. Thus, every slow process sanctioned by the European Court slows down everyone else. Ingenious, no? Rises even suspect - certainly unfounded, of course - that was and is exactly the purpose of the pathological "judicial reforms" that have been facing for decades the right and left permanently paralyzed Justice under the pretext of speeding. Mission accomplished. Now, one of two things: if the politicians who thought up and voted for the 200 "reforms" have done the on purpose, are scoundrels, and if you believe really speed up processes, and instead they have slowed down, they are scoundrels. In both cases, it is better for all that you refrain from thinking and vote for others. Who knows, finally left in peace to this grim reformatory, the lifeless body of our Justice does not take up a bit 'of life and color alone.
