Separation of careers, Nordio: ‘Reform was worth a candelabra’

Rome, 29 October (LaPresse) – ‘It was worth a candelabra.’ This was how Justice Minister Carlo Nordio responded to reporters who asked him if it had been worth the effort at the end of the Senate’s discussion of the bill on the separation of magistrates’ careers. The reference is to the words of Senate President Ignazio La Russa, who said yesterday: ‘The separation of careers is right, but perhaps the game was not worth the candle.’
