Even in Sardinia there is great concern and opposition to the reform of the Court of Auditors under discussion in parliament: the accounting magistrates of the Island expressed it in all the reports held this morning, on the occasion of the inauguration of the judicial year 2025 which was held in Cagliari. The attack is on the proposed law (first signature of Tommaso Foti, group leader of Fratelli d'Italia) to modify and reduce, in short, the powers of the accounting magistracy.
The first reference is in the report of the president of the jurisdictional section of Sardinia, Donata Cabras. It speaks of «significant interventions by the legislator that have concerned, in particular, the subjective element required for the existence of treasury liability (on the part of public administrators), adopted also on the basis of the so-called “fear of signature” or “defensive bureaucracy”». In essence , the «fear of being called to trial by the Treasury Prosecutor's Office could be ascribed to the slowness and, at times, even the paralysis of administrative action, with the Court of Auditors seen as a brake on the activity of public offices ».
The position of the regional prosecutor Maria Elisabetta Locci is also harsh: «They want to hierarchize the Court of Auditors», she highlights. « They create Series A and Series B magistrates, they offend our dignity, the territorial prosecutor's office has the task of being a garrison of legality ». And she explains, again in her report: «Confusing the interventions of simplification and efficiency of public apparatuses with deregulation, or with regimes of exemption from liability, or with emergency disciplines, contravenes the fundamental task of a democratic State, that is to be the guarantor of citizens' rights and to allow the improvement of their quality of life, ensuring fundamental services».
The topic was also addressed in the speeches of the president of the regional control section Antonio Contu and the president of the Council of the Cagliari Bar Association, Matteo Pinna.
