Chapter 5 Judicial Storm (4)

"What, are you going to replace the President of the Supreme Court?"

In the afternoon, Contini went to Mussolini to report. After hearing this "big words", even Mussolini was deeply surprised and reminded, "Calais, I know you are disgusted with Donadoni. I don't like this old stubbornness, but the president of the Supreme Court is not that easy to change. Not to mention you, it is not easy to deal with even if I come forward as the prime minister... No matter how you say that judicial power is independent, the term of office of the Supreme Court is very long, and it is difficult to get rid of a Supreme Court."

"Under the pressure of the Socialist Party, the Supreme Court has decided to accept Matteoti's retrial. I plan to accuse the Socialist Party of unconstitutionalism and kill some people in the Italian judicial and political circles. If it is operated properly, I think it can promote the reform of the Supreme Court, and Donadoni is the first to be the brunt of the position and must deal with it head-on." Contini did not say what evidence he had, but only expressed his determination. "What do you have on this?"

Mussolini was stunned and then overjoyed. Contini was about to start a full war with the Socialist Party. As for whether he could take this opportunity to make Donadoni bad, it was second to do so. Maybe this kid had some unknown evidence like he had last time dealing with Matteoti, and then smiled and said, "Calais, you are right, I have the same feeling. The current judicial system and legal figures are no longer adapting to Italy's new requirements and new developments after the fascist movement. "

"Then I'll start with the Supreme Court?"

"Go and do it boldly, I will give you all your support!"

"If the Constitutional Court can support my claim and declare the Socialist Party unconstitutional, do you think Tasotti himself can make more progress?" Contini smiled slightly, "If possible, I will tell him your hope that with the support of the leader, he will make a decision with confidence and stand on the side of the party..."

Mussolini understood this sentence as soon as he heard it: Contini was asking if Tassotti was willing to stand over, could he give him a good position in the Supreme Court, and the premise was that Contini would carry on some of the Supreme Court.

Mussolini hesitated and did not express his opinion immediately.

Contini knew his concerns and persuaded: "Leader, I think if you want to create a new situation in Italy, the key is to rely on the Party. The Party is the core of our cause and the force that guides us forward. We must play a leading role in all aspects. The more important thing is to manage people, parliament, government, and even the judicial community should respond to the Party's call, implement the Party's line and policies rather than facing the Party, and should not become a self-righteous independent small kingdom to drag down. In this way, the country can be led by the leader.

Only when the top and bottom work together can Italy have hope in the future... At such a critical moment, the Party’s unified leadership is crucial. Once you identify the goal, you must continue to move on without shaking, discussing, shirking responsibility, and wasting time in procrastination. What the Italian people want is achievements, results, and prosperity. As long as the people support, what does it matter if those flashy procedural things are more or less? The current performance and contribution of the leader are done, not just whispering."

"You said it very well, very well!" Mussolini was very happy to be flattered by this sentence. The other party did hit his mind: although fascisti currently dominates the government and has a certain influence in the parliament, he still cannot achieve the goal of monopolizing power. This is also a headache for him. The reason why he has always allowed Contini to argue with the Socialist Party is also considered. Now Contini is going to seek bad luck from the Supreme Court, and he has to go to the judicial world to make trouble and set fire without him personally. Of course, he is happy to see it.

"I have always paid attention to his ideas and efforts. A judge like him who is knowledgeable and experienced really needs to make new and greater contributions to the Italian people in the new historical period!"

With Mussolini's words, Contini went back with satisfaction, and then asked his subordinates to tell Tassoti through a secret phone call that night.

Tasotti was ecstatic when he heard Mussolini's statement that way. Only then did his wife understand why she was trying hard to mess with herself in bed that day. While she was happy for Tasotti, she reminded: "You should try every means to say a few words to the leader, and don't be deceived by the subordinates. Politicians are best at doing things that break the bridges."

Tassoti seized the opportunity and took advantage of the opportunity to go to the Ministry of Justice to "meet" Mussolini. Sure enough, Mussolini was very enthusiastic about him. Although he did not have a substantial word, his expression and the strength of his handshake all sent this signal: I'm optimistic about you!

That's enough.

On May 11, the third day after the Supreme Court announced the retrial of Matteoti's reputation infringement case, Contini hired a lawyer group formally filed a lawsuit with the Constitutional Court, accusing the Socialist Party of putting pressure on the Supreme Court, interfering with the judiciary, undermining constitutional independence, and putting forward a lot of evidence: including relevant articles published in the "Socialist" newspaper in the name of the Socialist Party, which believed that the first and second instances were unfair; relevant statements by Socialist Party members in public; evidence of the main leaders of the Socialist Party entering and leaving the Supreme Court - vehicles and personnel being photographed by the dark people; and there were also scenes of the Socialist Party having a happy conversation with the President of the Supreme Court and some justices.

To be honest, these evidences are not directed. To prove that the Socialist Party and the Supreme Court have colluded, they are still a little bit convincing. The empirical ability is far lower than the video where Donadoni received money. However, Tasotti did not question the slightest question, but announced that he accepted the prosecution. To be honest, he formed a trial court headed by him and a total of 5 Constitutional Court judges as the core.

However, he spent a lot of effort on the selection of judges. All the selected people were either his confidants and friends, or people who were dissatisfied with the Socialist Party in terms of political views. Although they always advocated judicial independence, the judge was a living person. He had his own ideas and positions. Although he would not express them publicly, Tasotti was very clear that he had been in the Constitutional Court for seven years. Can't even see what was behind this?

"Tasotti, what are you crazy? The Supreme Court just announced a retrial and you agreed to the unconstitutional case company. Are you going to try the Supreme Court?"

"Someone wants to prosecute and has also brought out evidence. I wonder why it cannot be filed? Is the Socialist Party just a tiger's butt unable to touch it?" Tasotti replied in a humble and arrogant manner, "If I reveal your phone number to the public, someone will sue the Supreme Court for interfering in the work of the Constitutional Court tomorrow."

"You..." Donadoni was a little annoyed, but in the end he gave up the idea of ​​competing with Tasotti on this matter and said, "That little thing about the Socialist Party is nothing to put pressure on, and interfering in the judiciary is not unconstitutional. If this is unconstitutional, isn't Mussolini's gathering hundreds of thousands of black-shirted troops into Rome to seize power even more unconstitutional?"

"You can ask the Socialist Party to accuse Mussolini and Fascist of unconstitutionality. I didn't say I wouldn't accept their complaints." Tassotti sneered, "Why don't they dare to come?"

Donadoni thought to himself: How dare the Socialist Party accuse Mussolini of unconstitutionality? If they do this, the Socialist Party will be smashed into ruins by the Blackshirts tonight. He smiled bitterly and said, "I am very passive when I do this reversible..."

"Is it true passive not here?" Tasotti thought for a while, "You might as well call Ziano. He has something you are interested in, enough to blow the Supreme Court to pieces."

“What is it?”
