“We have a mandate from the voters on the separation of careers and this reform is not our right but our duty.” Thus the Minister of Justice Carlo Nordio interviewed at the Salone della Giustizia. «When an Anglo-Saxon code is adopted, as happened in Italy, the separation of careers is an inevitable consequence», adds the minister. Otherwise “the system gets stuck – he continues – and in fact in our country the system has got stuck”.
Then the direct reference to the continuous clashes between politics and the judiciary. «In a liberal country, magistrates should not criticize laws and politicians should not criticize sentences. Some criticize others and we need to understand who should take a step back first for reconciliation.” Thus the Minister of Justice Carlo Nordio interviewed at the Salone della Giustizia. «Given how it has gone historically», with the judiciary which at a certain point after Mani Pulite «overflowed» into politics, «the judiciary should take the step first».
Finally, another hot topic is the cyber security decree. No political problem, just “a purely technical problem”. Thus the Keeper of the Seals Carlo Nordio, at the Hall of Justice, spoke about the decree on cybersecurity. When Tg1 director Gian Marco Chiocci asked him if “the square” had been found regarding the decree, the minister replied “basically yes, the problem is exclusively technical”.

**Interview with Justice Minister Carlo Nordio on Judicial Career Separation Reform**
**Interviewer:** Thank you for joining us today, Minister Nordio. There has been significant discussion surrounding the proposed reform to separate the career paths of judges and prosecutors. Can you explain why you believe this reform is necessary?
**Minister Nordio:** Thank you for having me. This reform is not just an initiative; it is a mandate from the voters. It is our duty to ensure that our judiciary functions effectively. Currently, the intertwining of judges and prosecutors creates conflicts and inefficiencies which ultimately stall the judicial process. The separation is crucial for restoring integrity and clarity to our legal system.
**Interviewer:** You mentioned that adopting an Anglo-Saxon code has impacted your perspective. Can you elaborate on that?
**Minister Nordio:** Certainly. The adoption of an Anglo-Saxon code in Italy implies certain structural changes, most notably the separation of careers. This decision leads us to recognize that without this separation, the system cannot operate effectively. It has become clear that the absence of this structural adjustment is a significant factor in the stagnation we are witnessing within our judiciary.
**Interviewer:** There are opponents of this reform who believe it could lead to further complications within the judicial system. How do you respond to such concerns?
**Minister Nordio:** I understand the apprehensions, but it is essential to evaluate the long-term benefits of a separated career path. While change can be unsettling, the goal of this reform is to enhance independence and accountability within the judiciary. We must focus on creating a system that is not only transparent but also one that fosters public trust.
**Interviewer:** As this bill progresses through the House, what steps are you taking to ensure it is passed by the December deadline?
**Minister Nordio:** We are actively engaging with our constituents, lawmakers, and judicial bodies to underscore the importance of this reform. Transparency, as well as open discussions, are vital in building consensus. We believe that with discussions and a demonstration of the reform’s benefits, we can approach the December deadline with optimism and readiness.
**Interviewer:** Thank you, Minister Nordio, for your insights on this critical reform.
**Minister Nordio:** Thank you for the opportunity to discuss this vital issue.
