Report by Nicola Pasqualato
Yesterday, during a short television debate with former minister Flick, on the sidelines of the decision of the Senate Committee, the presenter showed a long sheet on previous cases of parliamentary immunity. At the end Professor Flick, president emeritus of the Constitutional Court, he said respectfully: «You have made a beautiful card, but it has nothing to do with it".
Ecco, if we had to summarize the meaning of this “much ado about nothing” (much ado about nothing) that has been tormenting us for months, we would say the same thing. A huge fuss has been created over a subject that almost no one had bothered to study. Because Salvini's case was completely new, and President Gasparri rightly said that this provision will become jurisprudence. Because here it was not at all about the usual immunity behind which many politicians have sheltered themselves from judicial investigations, but of a ministerial guarantee provided for by a constitutional law which entrusts its evaluation to political scrutiny.
So even the petulant litany that "no one is above the law" sounded and sounds like a contradiction, because it is precisely this Law that says that in the presence of a crime – assuming it exists – the minister cannot be prosecuted if he acted in an overriding interest of the State.
