Premier Giorgia Meloni on Saturday
criticized magistrates union ANM after its protest against the
government's reform of the judiciary, saying it treated any
reform involving justice like the end of the world.
"Protests are always legitimate but I'm sorry about the attitude
of the ANM, which sees every justice reform as an Apocalypse,
the end of the world that must always be criticized, no ifs or
buts," Meloni said before boarding the Italian Navy's Amerigo
Vespucci training ship in Jeddah.
"Article 49 of the Constitution says that citizens have the
right to join political parties to participate in the democratic
determination of national politics.
"This means that citizens organize themselves into political
parties, vote, decide what the political decisions should be.
"We are doing something perfectly compatible with the
Constitution, which does not say that justice cannot be
reformed".
Deputy Premier and Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani was critical
too.
"I am sorry that servants of the State wearing magistrates robes
got up and left with the Constitution during the inauguration of
the judicial year," Tajani said in Milan.
"The magistrates should have read the Constitution too".
