President Sergio Mattarella said
Tuesday that Italy's judiciary has the necessary resources to
get over its recent problems and meet the challenges of the
future.
"In its Constitutional values, its sphere and its history, the
judiciary has the resources to face the difficulties and to
ensure - with authoritativeness and credibility - the respect
for the law that is indispensable for the life and civic growth
of society," Mattarella said at the ceremony to bid farewell to
the outgoing members of the CSM, the judiciary's self-governing
body.
The head of State admitted that the term of the outgoing CSM had
been a "complex" one due to the "serious episodes that hit it".
The judiciary has been hit by recent scandals involving
magistrates and politicians regarding allegations of influence
peddling and corruption.
