In an opinion piece, the author reflects on the recent controversies surrounding the Italian justice referendum and comments made by prosecutor Nicola Gratteri, who stated that only criminals and Freemasons would vote in favor of the referendum. This statement drew criticism as it was seen to reflect a bias against those who could potentially support the legal reform. The author argues that Gratteri's remarks highlight the need for a clearer separation between judicial responsibilities and political opinions, suggesting that such statements undermine the integrity of the judicial system.

The piece further delves into a request made to the newspaper, Il Giornale, for apologies related to the leaking of information about a financial advisor involved in a scandal. The author hints at a media environment rife with suspicion and allegations involving various interest groups and lobbyists, emphasizing the complex interplay between politics, media, and the rule of law. This situation underscores the challenges faced by journalists in navigating sensitive legal issues and the potential consequences of exposing misconduct.

The commentary concludes by expressing skepticism about the motivations behind the push for reform, particularly in light of contradictory statements from influential figures like Gratteri. The author suggests that the public discourse surrounding such reforms is often mired in political agendas rather than genuine improvements to the legal system, pointing to the need for more careful consideration of the implications such changes hold for justice in Italy.
