The ANM has really gone down the wrong way with the request to open disciplinary proceedings once morest the panel of the Genoa Review Court that confirmed the measure of house arrest once morest the president of Liguria Giovanni Toti, accused by the Genoese prosecutors of corruption. The day following the act presented by the lay councilors Claudia Eccher (Lega) and Isabella Bertolini (FdI), the president of the union of the judges, Giuseppe Santalucia, intervened forcefully: «I find it worrying that, following a ruling by a court, in this case the Genoa Review Court that rejected the request to revoke the house arrest for the president of the Liguria Region, two lay councilors of the CSM have risen up asking the Council to open disciplinary proceedings once morest those judges. This is – added Santalucia – an unfortunate attempt to interfere with the regular exercise of jurisdiction by two exponents elected by the parliamentary majority that tells us regarding the cultural context in which the proposals for constitutional revision of the judiciary are taking shape”.
In short, Santalucia’s words are not very different from those he has continued to pronounce since the center-right has been in government. Most of the reforms in the field of justice have been harshly attacked by the president of the ANM. It is enough to cite a few examples to realize this. Just a few days ago Santalucia summarized his thoughts, saying: «Behind the separation of careers (not yet introduced in the justice system, ed.) and the High Court there is the idea that the judiciary does not know how to govern itself». But it does not end there: «With the drawing of lots for the CSM, the premise is that magistrates do not know how to choose their representation. Overall we are placed under guardianship in a way that mortifies our professionalism».
In short, the top of the judicial union does not use half measures in order to go once morest the reforms that the government majority is carrying forward. It was not difficult to imagine that Santalucia’s statements on the Toti case would contribute to fueling an increasingly tense climate. In fact, in the evening, councilor Eccher told : “We have exercised our prerogatives. For us, it was right and appropriate to activate this type of procedure.”
