The knot of the prescription remains a source of tension in the majority. The agreement reached by M5s, Pd and Leu to modify the Bonafede law should pass from an amendment to the Milleproroghe decree and record the dissent of Italy alive in commission, but then be armored in the Chamber with a vote of confidence.
"The Bonafede law will change - the leader of Iv Matteo Renzi insisted this morning via social media - How and when it will change depends on the convoluted parliamentary tactics. But we will not stop until the lawyers and magistrates continue to say that Bonafede's proposals are unconstitutional It will take weeks of parliamentary debate but we are not in a hurry. Populists are good for everyone, politics is not. Nobody wants to bring down the government but we will never accept becoming grillini. Less than ever on justice ".
Then, the note of the deputy parent company Pd in the Chamber Michele Bordo : "We note with satisfaction that Matteo Renzi and Italia Viva have finally understood that their opposition to the substantial changes agreed in the majority on the prescription would unfortunately leave in force the Bonafede reform that they better than ever: we said from the outset that the ultimatums were wrong; we are happy now that Italia Viva has taken a new position by backing off. "
But in a nutshell, here is the rejoinder by Luciano Nobili , MP from Italia Viva: "From a recent poll by Ipsos it appears that when it comes to prescription, 5% of Italians know what we are talking about, 95% unfortunately not. to understand, reading his statements, that Bordo is among the Italians who do not know what we are talking about. Understandable for ordinary citizens. Surprising that a member of parliament does not study or does not understand. Or, worse, pretend not to understand. From Italy Long live no backtrack on the rule of law, on the guarantee for all Italians, accused or victims of not being sentenced to endless trials ".
Then tried the secretary of the Democratic Party Nicola Zingaretti to set a point: "It seems to me that there is confirmation of a good arrival point that allows us now to rekindle the agenda for work and growth, development and investments, on school, the economy and work starting from a spirit that must be unitary. It seems to me that there is confirmation of a good point of arrival. We can no longer deal with controversy and pickaxes. The Italians expect a community that will produce the facts. Now all the way forward to give answers to a country that expects it. "
But once again Italia viva kept the point, this time with the coordinator of Ettore Rosato : "We - wrote via social networks - will counteract any institutional forcing and there will be no march
back and no kind of agreement that goes against the constitutional principles. Using the Milleproroghe to change criminal law would be a scandal. The only solution is the prudent postponement envisaged by the Annibali award. Any other solution will see Italy live to vote with conviction against ", he added, denouncing then" the justicialist drift of the Democratic Party ".
At the same time, in addition to the ironic comments of some members of the opposition, the appeal by the attorney of Catanzaro Nicola Gratteri to be recorded: "It is a mediation to the bottom, because the prescription was needed to force the legislator to take concrete interest in procedural changes to the Code of procedure to speed up the process without diminishing the defendant's guarantees. A serious legislator must worry about why a file remains 4 years in a cabinet of the prosecutor. All these people who are killing themselves to shout against the prescription, because, in the meantime, not present an alternative, an article of law where they concretely demonstrate that it is possible to speed up the processes, that it is possible to make justice work? It is necessary to remove all the conditions so that a file no longer remains stationary. Every child has a tablet, every person has two phones; however, when we ask for the technology applied to the process, urticaria comes to everyone:
they say that the level of assurance of the suspect is lowered. But IT does not lower the guarantee, it leaves a trace. It does nothing but increase the guarantees. Technology means efficiency, decreasing man's discretion, therefore diminishing abuse. Does the Bonafede law come out changed? Yes, of course, but history teaches that disruptive things are done in the first 6 months of the legislature; then, any government as it moves forward has less and less power and energy. "
