Relations between the government and the judiciary were already strained, Avvenire points out:
“The launch of such an explosive investigation, first and foremost because of the names involved, comes at a time when relations between the executive and the judiciary are already extremely tense (which has been the case quite often since 1992). The fact is that the level of the confrontation that was already underway has gone up another notch, and no one knows if, when or how the relations can be brought back within an institutional dynamic that is less toxic than that described daily in the news.”
