Even though the nuances are different, none of them supports career separation reform.
From Matteo Renzi to Debora Serracchiani and Riccardo Magi. Up to Luigi De Magistris and Nicola Gratteri. The Luigi Einaudi Foundation lists several people who several years ago said they supported the main points of the text that would be voted on in the referendum. A video that brings together the faces and voices of those who agree with the separation between judges and prosecutors. There was Riccardo Magi, secretary of +Europa, a man of radical pedigree, who, unlike his party colleagues Emma Bonino and Benedetto Della Vedova, opposed the text on justice. In September, after the vote in the House of Representatives, he spoke of the reforms as “useless and vengeful”. And, again, on October 30: “The reform itself will not mark the beginning of a liberal, guaranteed revolution and the end of democracy, but it does raise some doubts.” The next day he wrote, in a letter sent to Il Foglio: “The separation of careers is right but this reform is not right”. Then a clip taken by the Einaudi Foundation: “This separation of careers is an indispensable reform, which cannot be postponed any longer, necessary for the implementation of our Constitution”. Renzi’s parable is similar. In a video released yesterday on social media, the former prime minister can be seen saying in September 2023: “If Meloni doesn’t change course on this too, we of course support direct election of the prime minister and separation of careers. These are the things we’ve always said.”
Renzi was with IV, in Parliament, but he abstained in the final vote on reform. “Nothing changes with this separation, it’s just a flag,” the former scrap dealer said in the Senate. Affirming: “We who have been supporting the separation of careers, abstained because we think that mountains give birth to little mice.” Debora Serracchiani, who now serves as the Democratic Party’s Judiciary Chair, supported the NO decision and even spoke of a “direct attack on the independence of the judiciary and our democracy.” In 2019, the deputy had signed a motion nominating Maurizio Martina for the DEM secretariat, which read: “The issue of career separation seems unavoidable in order to guarantee a third and impartial judge”. Hakim Nicola Gratteri, frontman of No, also appears in the Einaudi Foundation video. For CSM “the only way out is a lottery.
Because it is the only way to reduce the power on the current”, said the PM to Otto e Mezzo in 2021. Then another unexpected one, Luigi De Magistris, now for No, who explained: “CSM draw. Separation of careers between prosecutors and judges while still guaranteeing the autonomy and independence of public prosecutors.”
