On the one hand, the theme of the composition of the team of undersecretaries, a game that Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni aims to close by Monday 31 October; on the other, the measures, on justice and health, which will be on the agenda of the next Council of Ministers scheduled for Monday at 12 noon. In view of the CDM, the head of the government took stock of the situation with some of her ministers. Meloni’s day began with a tribute to the Altare della Patria, where the premier went to lay a laurel wreath on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier – an act of homage after taking office as Prime Minister. After the ceremony, the number one of the Brothers of Italy reached Palazzo Chigi, starting a series of meetings with collaborators and with some members of the government, including the Minister of Health Orazio Schillaci and that of the Interior Matteo Piantedosi.
The first two measures on Monday’s CDM table will concern justice. At the first point, a decree law to maintain the so-called ‘life imprisonment’, considered by the Meloni government to be “an essential tool” in the fight against organized crime. A measure, underline sources of Palazzo Chigi, “priority” and become “urgent” in light of the hearing of the Constitutional Court, scheduled for 8 November. The text in question follows the bill already approved in the past legislature by the House and aims to avoid the easy release of the mafia, allowing access to prison benefits to the convict who has demonstrated “compensatory conduct” and “the termination of his connections. “with organized crime. “A race against time – is the government’s reasoning – to guarantee social security” and prevent the prisoner from leaving prison “despite the constancy of the association”.
Still on the subject of justice, the Council of Ministers will address the postponement to 30 December 2022 of the entry into force of some provisions of the Cartabia reform, “taking up the critical issues that have already emerged in the parliamentary debate and which have been confirmed in recent days by legal practitioners. with a letter to the Minister of Justice “, sources from the Prime Minister always explain, underlining how the measure intends” to respect the PNRR deadlines “and” allow the necessary organization of judicial offices “.
Health will also be at the center of one of the measures under consideration by the executive. In fact, the CDM is preparing to approve the advance to 1 November of the expiry of the vaccination obligation for those who practice the health profession and the stop to sanctions for those who have not respected the obligation. With this provision – the reasoning of Palazzo Chigi – the government wants to “follow up on the indication traced by President Meloni in his programmatic declarations made in Parliament” and thus mark “a first act of discontinuity, compared to previous executives, in the management of the pandemic from Covid-19 “.
Both Lega and Fratelli d’Italia applaud the government’s choices in matters of justice. “Well, even justice is finally changing, go on like this”, comments the deputy premier and leader of the Carroccio Matteo Salvini, with particular reference to the confirmation of the impedimental life sentence. “The signal from the Council of Ministers is clear: everything that can be done to keep prison tough will be done”, says Andrea Delmastro, deputy and head of Justice of Fdi Andrea Delmastro, on pole for a post as undersecretary in Via Arenula.
Instead, criticism comes from the opposition, in particular from the Democratic Party. According to Anna Rossomando, responsible for Justice dem, the “fundamental reforms of justice approved in the last legislature” must be “implemented and absolutely cannot be postponed”. The Nazarene also asked the Minister of Justice Nordio to convene the group leaders of all the political forces on the earliest possible date “to agree on preferential routes for a better implementation of the reforms”. Always the Democratic Party with Andrea Orlando crushes the executive’s approach to the management of the pandemic: “The government through eloquent signals is profoundly changing the line of contrast to Covid. Technicians and international organizations say that the pandemic is not over. The government do you have any other data?
