The Senate approves the Nordio bill with 104 yes, 56 no and no abstentions.
The measure passes to the House for consideration.
"Does this law leave the citizen defenseless? Absolutely, on the contrary the citizen damaged by a bad mayor has no possibility of being satisfied with the criminal trial, while appealing before the administrative judge, i.e. the TAR and asking for "the annulment of the act, with compensation for damage, an injured citizen is much more interested in having the act annulled and 500,000 euros in compensation rather than becoming a civil party in a future and uncertain trial which in the end nothing will happen". Minister of Justice, Carlo Nordio, speaking with journalists in the Senate about the abolition of the ex officio crime in the reform that bears his name just approved by the Senate.
"This evening the Melonian majority with the support of Renzi has dealt a new blow to the citizens' right to be correctly informed. Because a "filter" must be placed for ordinary people preventing them from being able to directly access the news contained in the ordinance precautionary custody? If the answer is the defense of the suspect we are very far from reality. If anything, the opposite is true: the specific reasons for which a person is arrested guarantees the suspect from possible abuses committed by the magistrate. The truth is that - as said Roberto Scarpinato - they want to transform truths into opinions, preventing journalists from really doing their job and giving readers the right to form an opinion. With the gag of this government we will only have opinions and a smoke screen on facts. We tried to block this massacre but they rejected our amendment. What a shame."
Thus M5S senator Barbara Floridia, president of the Rai Supervisory Commission.
