The intervention of Gemma Cucca , president of the Court of Appeal of Cagliari, but also president of the Electoral Guarantee Board that requested the dismissal of Alessandra Todde.
The President of the Region is sitting in the front row . Before the ceremony there was no handshake.
"Mutual recognition and respect for the different roles of different institutions must also be applied to avoid useless sterile instrumentalizations. They may appear to be absolutely obvious principles, but in everyday reality even the obvious can be useful if not necessary". This is one of the most relevant passages in the report by the President of the Court of Appeal Gemma Cucca. She explains: "Even in the face of difficulties, we must not forget - and indeed I want to emphasize - a term that, in its simplicity, nevertheless contains essential values full of meanings to be realized: independence ". Furthermore, "we cannot see any need on our part to publicly defend the decisions taken precisely because we magistrates do not have to answer to current opinions, but only to the law". Therefore, he adds, "to our conscience, in compliance with the rules, in compliance with the oath of fidelity to the Constitution, without having to privilege anyone and with perfect awareness of the specifically relevant regulatory framework and the values that we must balance and that we make known with the motivation of the measures with which alone we also respond to the attacks deriving from sometimes unpleasant decisions that could, moreover, simply be challenged".
