In Italy the slowest justice in Europe

The Council of Europe published its annual report on justice, which shows how Italy is the country, including  all those of the Old Continent, slower to administer processes and so on. The report speaks of judgments by the European Court of Human Rights of the Man which have not been applied. The fact is that it has been so due to the slowness with which justice is applied in Italy, where processes often last for years and years and you can not even get to the determination of innocence or otherwise of an accused as a result of the prescription. If anyone is convinced that such kind of evil is prevalent among all developed countries of Europe, it is good to look at our buddies: together with us in the ranking at the top (but behind us ...) Turkey, Russia, Poland and Ukraine. Obviously, all these delays mean that citizens should be reimbursed, so this year we paid more than eight million euros in refunding damages to our citizens that have not been accorded the rights Europe has determined valid for every european citizen . Although I am fully aware that this figure, on the total government budget, is of negligible influence, I wonder how it is possible that we should be the only country, among the largest in Europe, which has a justice system that behaves in this way.
Is the very concept of justice that is lost when you disapply a number of sentences as high as what we are being challenged (2522), as well as when it fails after five, ten or fifteen years to determine innocence or not because of prescription. Or when, for some "procedural error", who knows how much unintended, you are freeing mobsters and criminals. It 'true that governments, especially in the period prior to Monti, have made sure to further complicate the decision-making by introducing in the machine or trying to introduce innovations to the legal system that had little to do with making it more efficient. It 'also true that a majority of the people didn't care of this, while continuing to support all those who faltered further. In light of this, then, is not it strange that justice is inefficient in Italy, no one has tried recently to make it different than it is.
But what does a little crap is that we are talking about violations of the judgments of the European Court of Human Rights. These are ordinary people who are denied rights that in countries like ours should be natural. We have the company of states where democracy is at least in doubt like Russia and Turkey. Why does my country should not be taking cues from the best but, on the contrary, the worst of the worst? Why nobody in the political class is committed to change this? The speech is maybe simplicistic, but in Italy that true justice about people is no doubt at the interests of anyone. If a politician is going to be processed, if there is to prohibit interceptions, to attack the judiciary system, then they care (and how much!). Otherwise, it's just a word with which filling their mouth, between mouthfuls of tasty ones, with which they are growing fat at our expense ...
