The debate on justice reform is heating up in the city of Catania with an event that promises to deeply analyze the transformations of the Italian judicial system. Thursday, March 19, the setting of the Centro Culture Contemporanee Zō, in Piazzale Rocco Chinnici, will host a public meeting from 5 PM to 8 PM with an unequivocal title: "Reform Nordio No Always!".  The initiative, born to stimulate a direct dialogue with citizens, will see the participation of authoritative representatives from the academic world, the judiciary, and civil associations. To enrich the discussion, an anticipated external contribution is expected through a video link with Dr. Gherardo Colombo, a symbol of legality in our country. The heart of the debate will feature analyses from Emilio Castorina, Professor of Constitutional Law at the University of Catania, and Francesco Curcio, Prosecutor of the Republic of Catania, who will provide a technical and operational view on the implications of the reform. The debate will also include Alfio Mannino, General Secretary of Cgil Sicilia, Dr. Dora Bonifacio, Counselor of the Civil Section of the Court of Appeal of Catania, and lawyer Francesco Faro, Spokesperson for "Avvocatura Etnea per il No".

The coordination of the proceedings will be entrusted to Alessandra Russo, Deputy Prosecutor at the Prosecutor's Office of Catania, while the concluding reflections will be curated by Bruno Di Marco, former President of the Court of Catania and now a prominent member of the National Committee "Just Say No". The event, supported by various organizations including "Vote No - Defend Justice, Constitution and Democracy", aims to serve as a safeguard for the autonomy and effectiveness of the justice system.
