Justice Minister Carlo Nordio on
Sunday expressed the hope that members of the judiciary will
criticize less the "political nature" of laws and that policy
makers will "tone it down" in criticizing sentences, addressing
via video link a congress of the judiciary's left-wing faction
Magistratura Democratica (MD), one of the groups within the
National Association of Magistrates (ANM), the judiciary's
union.
"We want dialogue with the judiciary because we know that
magistrates are called to implement laws.
"Another problem is criticism of the political nature and
content of laws once they have been approved and (President
Sergio) Mattarella has been very clear about this", noted
Nordio.
"I hope that in future dialogue there will be increasingly less
criticism from members of the judiciary on the political merit
of laws in Parliament and that politicians will tone it down in
criticizing sentences", said Nordio.
