The President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella arrived this morning in Florence to participate in
‘inauguration of the School of the Judiciary of Castelpulci. After choosing a scheduled flight for the very private visit to Palermo, the head of state has renewed the decision to rely on public transport for his first official visit outside Rome. To reach the Tuscan capital has traveled with a high-speed train along with his staff and the Minister of Justice Andrea Orlando. Then he reached Scandicci using a convoy dedicated tramway powered entirely by electricity. Finally a car led him to Castelpulci, where he found waiting for the President of the School, the jurist Valerio Onida, the vice president of CSM John Legnini and Senate President Pietro Grasso.

Need warned of legality in the country
To the young magistrates School, Mattarella stressed that “the need for legality is strongly felt in our country.” “At the magistrate – he added – it requires constant tension that is grounded in cultural studies and continuous updates but also feeds a deep moral awareness in the impartiality of the judicial function. It is a challenge all the more difficult in a context of growing expectations from citizens to justice. “

Magistrates neither protagonists nor bureaucrats
That the magistrate, for the head of state, who chairs the CSM, must be “a task nor the protagonist of the process or of bureaucratic administrator of justice. These are two attitudes that distort the appearance of the function performed. ” In this regard Mattarella wanted to remember “the warning of Calamandrei”: “The greatest danger that threatens the judges in a democracy is that of addiction, bureaucratic indifference, irresponsibility anonymous.”

The three obligations: fairness, impartiality, timeliness
Mattarella indicated three requirements for the Italian justice: “The laws of the Republic requires that the judge is able to combine fairness and impartiality, providing an answer to justice timely to be effective, ensuring effectiveness and quality of the jurisdiction. ”
