Justice, head of state Napolitano: "We are reaching a very dangerous limit"

"In political and electoral contrasts, and in particular in the discussion concerning the administration of justice, we are reaching a very dangerous limit. So we must find a sense of proportion and show more responsibility". This is what the Italian president of the Republic, Giorgio Napolitano, wrote in a letter sent to the vice-president of the Superior Council of Judges, Michele Vietti.

Napolitano refers to the posters appeared in Milan last week, "Terrorists, leave tribunals" which, in his opinion, represent a "vile provocation" and an "unacceptable offence to the victims of terrorism", said Napolitano, remembering that the victims of terrorisms will be remembered on the 9th of May for their sacrifice while serving public institutions. "Above all we must remember those 10 magistrates who were killed by the Brigate Rosse and other terrorist groups to defend legality ad democracy".

In the letter Napolitano pressed Vietti to invite "relatives of the magistrates killed, along with the presidents and the general prosecutors of the Courts of Genoa, Milan, Salerno and Rome, where magistrates Emilio Alessandrini, Mario Amato, Fedele Calvosa, Francesco Coco, Guido Galli, Nicola Giacumbi, Girolamo Minervini, Vittorio Occorsio, Riccardo Palma and Girolamo Tartaglione worked".

"Our choice to remember the magistrates killed by the terrorist is also an answer to that vile provocation organized by an organization led by a candidate at the next elections for the mayor of Milan. That poster represents an unacceptable offence to all the victims of terrorisms".
