Italy's magistrates said Wednesday
they were set to strike against the government's reform of their
career paths meaning prosecutors and judges can no longer swap
roles.
"Every possible initiative will be weighed by the collegial
bodies," said the head of magistrates union ANM, Giuseppe
Santalucia, answering a question from ANSA on the already
pre-announced strike plan.
Justice Minister Carlo Nordio, the architect of the reform who
has denied ANM claims it is aimed at putting prosecutors under
government control, said the magistrates should accept the
verdict of popular sovereignty, saying that Italian voters had
implicitly backed the reforms as they were part of the winning
centre-right coalition's manifesto in autumn 2022.
