"The weather is serene". Mattarella is waiting for the "revelation"

President Sergio Mattarella has expressed his belief that the legal process regarding the three verdicts against Roberto Roggero is valid. He emphasized that the formal clarification regarding the powers and methods of granting clemency is part of normal institutional dialogue, not a political act. The President reacted strongly when Justice Minister Carlo Nordio initiated the clemency procedure for Roggero without consulting him, despite constitutional rulings that grant this power exclusively to the President. Mattarella pointed out that the process was premature since the sentence had not yet been delivered, and the legal procedures required by law had not been followed. He cited constitutional principles and historical precedents, including references to Luigi Einaudi, to stress that the President must ensure the uninterrupted transfer of constitutional powers to his successor.

Nordio and the start of the investigation: it's my power

The article discusses the controversy surrounding Italian Justice Minister Carlo Nordio's attempt to initiate an inquiry into granting clemency to Mario Roggero. Initially, media outlets reported that the procedure had been started, but this was later denied after the wife of Roggero requested clemency. The article explores whether Nordio overstepped his authority by initiating the process independently, challenging the exclusive power of President Sergio Mattarella to grant clemency. It references a book by legal expert Enrico Gallucci, which suggests that both the president and the minister have the authority to start such inquiries. The debate centers on whether Nordio acted within his legal prerogatives.

Bias read (Center): The article presents a balanced discussion of the legal and political implications of Nordio’s actions, referencing both the constitutional framework and expert opinions.

The request for clemency has been issued, and now Nordio is putting the brakes on Roggero, and the League is considering his candidacy.

The process for requesting clemency has been initiated regarding the case of Roggero, a former member of the League party. The wife of the merchant who was attacked by Roggero has submitted the request. However, the Ministry of Justice clarified that the formal procedure has not yet begun and emphasized that the Minister of Justice could initiate it independently. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni commented that it is unfair to require a victim to compensate someone who aggressed them. Meanwhile, the League is considering whether to put forward a candidate for a position, possibly related to this situation.

Bias read (Center): The article presents the situation neutrally, quoting both the Ministry of Justice and the Prime Minister without overtly favoring any side. It reports on the legal process and political considerations without using biased language or emphasizing one perspective over another.
