Rome, 10 Nov. (LaPresse) – “It is this necessity that explains why the Constitution recognises the guarantees of autonomy and independence, in that magistrates must not be subject to any form of hierarchical subordination, nor must they be influenced by the interests or the will of other powers.” So said the President of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella, speaking during a meeting with trainee ordinary magistrates appointed by Ministerial Decree of 3 September 2025. “These are the safeguards that enable the judiciary to ensure the full implementation of the principle of legality through the protection of rights. This protection is carried out through the work carried out daily in the courtrooms through the application and interpretation of the laws in force,” added the Head of State.
