Defence Minister Guido Crosetto is not
aware of the role of guarantor of the protection of fundamental
rights attributed by the Constitution to the judiciary, the
secretary of Magistratura Democratica (MD) and deputy prosecutor
of Reggio Calabria Stefano Musolino said on Friday.
"I believe that the minister does not know some of the
fundamentals of our Constitution and especially the role of
guaranteeing the protection of fundamental rights that the
Charter attributes to the judiciary, which is the reason why it
is independent from other powers," said Musolino in response to
statements made by Crosetto to the Lower House earlier in the
day.
"We are not intimidated by media brawls," he added.
MD is part of a left-leaning movement within the Italian
magistrates association ANM that seeks to promote the principles
of the democratic rule of law, especially respect for human
rights and fundamental freedoms.
