The article from Il Giornale examines the reactions to judicial reforms in Italy, particularly the recent reform proposed by Minister Nordio. This current situation is compared to the panic that marked the introduction of a new code in the 1990s, a time when judges and journalists erupted with fears similar to those expressed today. A key difference noted was that back then, the Italian Constitution remained untouched, whereas today’s changes face fierce criticism and resistance despite the historical backdrop of reforms being perceived as 'hyper-guaranteeing.'

The piece highlights that during the early 90s, both the magistracy and the press reacted strongly against the new judicial norms, with some magistrates later becoming what the article describes as 'revolutionaries.' The article recalls the significant moment when the then Italian Attorney General labeled the new regulations as overly protective, while legal journalists asserted that such changes would hinder their ability to report effectively. This history of resistance and adaptation from both the judiciary and the media serves to illustrate the cyclical nature of panic surrounding reforms in Italy's legal landscape.

In concluding remarks, the article suggests that the current backlash against the Nordio reform echoes previously unsuccessful attempts to undermine judicial codes, alluding to the infamous 'Mani Pulite' investigations which exposed corruption but also led to a noted erosion of the rule of law. The implications of these reforms, both past and present, continue to resonate within Italy's judicial and media environments, marking a complex relationship where fear and resistance are intertwined in the pursuit of systemic change.
