21 July 2019Anm says 'no' to laws that "seem to show a punitive will" because it is "wrong to open a season of reform based on the measurement of contingency and emergency". In the Justice reform of Minister Bonafede there are "positive" aspects, but also interventions that betray "a vision of the critical points of the punitive criminal trial for the judiciary". Thus the leaders of the National Magistrates Association, President Luca Poniz and Secretary Giuliano Caputo, at the opening of the central steering committee, reiterated the position of the togas union on the reform proposals of the Justice Minister Alfonso Bonafede.

In the substantial text presented by the minister - which contains rules on criminal and civil trials, on the CSM and the judiciary - "there is a lot of what we asked for, but also a profile linked to simplistic answers", Caputo observed, reiterating for example, the criticisms already made by the togas of the reformulation of preliminary investigation times: "choking the times - he explained - is a recurring temptation, but it has an impact on investigations into organized crime and offenses involving" white collar "".

The Anm thus returns to criticize the reform, which constitutes "an emotional response". The association reiterates the 'no' reforms "that are the result of a contingency even if dramatic" ', ​​underlined Poniz, while Caputo invited to avoid' 'emotional responses such as the evocation of disciplinary actions, as if the problems were resolved with the threat of sanctions ".

"Unconstitutional draw for CSM in all its versions"
The draw for the composition of the CSM "is manifestly unconstitutional in all its versions". Thus the togas reject also the latest version contained in the reform of the Justice of the Minister Bonafede, which foresees first the draw of the candidate magistrates and then the election of who collects the greatest number of votes ". Finally the togas define" the message as inadmissible " of mistrust towards the entire electoral body of the judiciary ".
