indirectly encouraged by the tough stance of the Justice Minister Angelino Alfano against CSM, the intervention of the head of the state judiciary and political conflict sull'ennesimo not long in coming. So, before leaving for Damascus, Giorgio Napolitano take pen and paper to warn the parties against each other armed to the election campaign "is avoided dramas and conflicts, as always misleading, at institutional level." But the warning, articulated the reasons for respecting both the ongoing investigations in Trani (where he investigated the premier Silvio Berlusconi ) and the legality of the inspection prepared by Alfano, seems to fall on deaf ears.

ROME. The Keeper, while praising the 'balance' and 'common sense' of the head of state, insists the practice is open from CSM against sending of inspectors is a "slip", an "out of ' work" that "seriously violates the principle of loyal cooperation" between the institutions, for which the same minister announced that henceforth no longer accept unsolicited advice to CSM on legislative initiatives of the Government ("send back the postman to return to the palace of the Marshals").

Reaction to Alfano, who disturbs the CSM, so that the vice president Nicola Mancino feels compelled to put pen to paper to the Minister's invitation to "act accordingly" compared to what he said by Napolitano "put matters in their place." But there is nothing to be done. Is added to the controversy the position of the National believes that judges inspection in Trani an "interference with investigations and that judges" intolerable "the" insults to the judiciary by the Prime Minister on this occasion. "

It is understood the desire of the union of the gowns that is detected and punished those who violated the secrecy of the investigations of Trani, in addition to the request for an "institutional response in the shortest time possible" on the case of Cosimo Ferri, advisor to the CSM over the wiretapping investigation. In a Rossini crescendo of repartee, Alfano Anm accused of "denying" that on which there was an acknowledgment by the deputy prosecutor Trani, namely "the correctness and fairness of the inspection which took place in full respect of roles:" the so-called union of the robes - supports the Keeper - defends actors and stakeholders who do not need to be defended ".

The minister, in his statements, he makes strong intervention of the passage in which Napolitano argues that the CSM may consider only the final reports of the inspection the Ministry, and "not to rule in advance on the conduct" of the inspection. But - note to the CSM - the post of head of state should be read as a whole, and vice Mancino also notes that the decision to refer the request to open of a practice inspection at the Sixth Committee of the CSM (and not the first action is not a question of 'protection' of the judiciary) "met with complete sharing in the authoritative words of President Napolitano."

A few days after the manifestation of the PDL in view of the regional, the invitation to listen to the words of the Head of State is polemically addressed by each political force at opponents. If Antonio Di Pietro Napolitano believes the intervention of "a blow to the rim and a barrel", is Luigi Li Gotti (IDV) to open fire against Alfano ("makes the most agit-prop that the Minister of Justice ") and trigger a chain of reactions from the ranks of the PDL. Prime Minister Berlusconi - Whose lawyers have lodged an application in Trani to request the transfer of the investigation in Rome - says he is convinced that with this investigation "ridiculous" the "judicial policy making" attempts to "dictate" issues and the timing of campaign. While the Democratic Party, with the Secretary Pierluigi Bersani, ensure that it does not intend to ride this last judicial inquiry but added: "The problem is not us, we want to be the party of law and not the courts" but that "we always on the problems of the premier and his obsessions judicial and television "
