A judge for self-determination


 
The Italian magistrate Antonio Di Pietro considers it as "a basic principle in any democratic country".

The Italian judge, Antonio di Pietro, on an interview for the newspaper Ara, says he knows about the present situation in Catalonia and thinks that a “referendum is an essential tool for direct democracy. Self-determination is a basic right for any country who wants to be recognized democratically.”

On the other hand, he considers that Grillo's success showed centre-left political parties that citizens want a change in Italy. A coalition with the centre-left would achieve a governable Italy, as it happens in many local administrations.

Antonio Di Pietro is the judge who led Mani Pulite, the operation that removed all the political class during the first Italian Republic. The process there were more than 1,300 convicted people for corruption and 43 suicides. 

A man of extraordinary popularity, he decided to get into politics and lead the Italian Party of Values. On the February’s elections he couldn't get enough votes, even though if he would have made a coalition with the centre-left maybe Italy wouldn't have been on the verge of ungovernability.
