, we know. Corruption and fraud are rampant in Italy. This is confirmed by the report of the Court of Auditors at the end of February.
of that relationship affects not so much the analysis of the phenomenon (now unfortunately too well known), but the clarity with which the Court criticizes the package of measures recently announced by the Government: All measures contrary to those it would take to address corruption .
The measures announced by the government? The wrong
Court rejected the bill on wiretapping because, as the Attorney General Mario Ristuccia, "does not appear to be directed to a real fight against corruption." Conversely, the interceptions are "one of the most important investigative tools used to counter the phenomenon of corruption."
The Court also expressed doubts about proposals for a "short trial". Of course, there is a problem in Italy's slow processes. But the solution proposed by the Government, in fact, is not the efficiency and speed, but simply the interruption of the process. Indeed, as lawyers say, it is 'denial of justice', with all due respect for the rights of victims.
Cirielli mouth, even the law, which has halved the statute of limitations "with the result that many of its processes will become extinct just before the final ruling, although preceded by a conviction."
growing addiction and distrust
In this context, a decrease in complaints. A bit 'for progressive habituation to the widespread corruption, a little' for growing distrust of those public bodies that fail to protect their citizens from the political-administrative corruption.
Just think of the health sector, where the Court explained, occur "with surprising ease real episodes of ill repute with issues of mismanagement, sometimes aided by the lack of the control system.
work against corruption bodies (so far) useless
To this was added the complete uselessness of SAET: Service Anti-Corruption and Transparency, grounded in the Department of Public Administration in place of 'high commissioner against corruption, producing some modest survey, but has no ability to attack.
Brunetta and reform? a year from now will look in vain for the results. But as readers of this newsletter know, the Reform was in fact' defused, 'and the Civitate (Independent Commission for the transparency, integrity and evaluation) is not very independent, however, some inefficient.
four pillars: the role of citizens
Where again, then? "The fight against corruption must be primarily based on four pillars: 'ethics, transparency' s use of 'ICT, simplification, control," says the President of the Court of Auditors, Luigi Giampaolino.
are all ingredients for which the role of citizens will be crucial: they serve to boost public ethics, respect for institutions, attention to common goods after years of private law and corporate behavior on the part of the ruling classes. The actual transparency of government will play in the ability to really engage people, to hear her point of view, to account for their actions. Smooths and friendly procedures will mean more to safeguard the rights of individuals and limit the opacity and shadows where you hide the shortcuts and privileges. Finally, in terms of controls, the challenge will be the most innovative assessment: citizens must be able to assess the quality of services and administrative action, the performance of managers and public officials, the ability of government leaders of the political-administrative .
A program challenging, but possible. As long as you retain the knowledge that new threats may emerge. As noted by the prosecutor Ristuccia, decentralization of public expenditure contribute to "increase corruption when the proximity to local interests and lobby promotes an exchange of favors illegal harm to the community managed." A caveat to keep in mind in these days of approving the decrees on the municipal federalism.
