The reform of the Italian judicial sytem

The reform of the judicial system, as suggested by Berlusconi's govenment, has failed. The bill, which was approved by the parliament few weeks ago, was rejected by the President of the Republic, Carlo Azeglio Ciampi. This is a great news for all the liberals that did not want the increase of the excutive control over the judiciary. Now, the parliament will have to undergo a long procedure of amendment before it could vote again.
