From the Santanchè case to the Delmastro case: the undersecretary of Justice investigated for revealing official secrets
On the day Silvio Berlusconi's will is made known, the tension between the government and the judiciary rises. After the Santanchè case, in fact, the Delmastro case also broke out, the undersecretary of Justice investigated for revealing official secrets in relation to the Cospito case, the anarchist detained under 41 bis. This is what was decided by the investigating judge of Rome who did not accept the request for dismissal made by the Prosecutor's Office who will now have to formulate a request for indictment.
After days of silence around the Santanchè case, when the news of the forced indictment for Delmastro arrived, Palazzo Chigi reacts. And if in recent days the desire to speed up the justice reform as much as possible had filtered through the majority circles, this time it is Giorgia Meloni who takes on the official role, albeit in the form of "sources", the message that the government sends to the magistrates: don't think of engaging in politics, the executive will not be intimidated and will move forward based on the numbers. For the entire legislature. The attack is aimed at that part of the judiciary that appears to be "opposing" in view of the "European" elections.
A move that the opposition does not like at all. “That of Undersecretary Del Mastro and Minister Santanchè are now becoming two truly disturbing pages in Italian political news. And it is absolutely unacceptable in a democratic system that, instead of responding to serious accusations on the merits, Palazzo Chigi fuels a dangerous clash between state powers by issuing a note with intimidating tones towards the judiciary". Thus the Democratic secretary Elly Schlein in a note.
“At this point it is inevitable – for the Democratic leader – that Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni emerges from her silence and assumes her responsibilities. They have gone too far and we can't go on like this. Above all - concludes Schlen – if this means doing so to the detriment of the country which, in the meantime, continues to receive no answers."
