The National Assembly names the preliminary commission that will form the nominations committee for the new Supreme Court

The National Assembly named the deputies of the preliminary commission that will form the judicial nominations committee, the step before a new Supreme Court is appointed. Deputy Giuseppe Alessandrello, who chairs that commission, said its goal is to call on citizens who want to join the committee, according to Luigino Bracci's channel.

Patricia Poleo said that committee 'will only review credentials' and that the one appointing the justices will have 11 deputies and 12 members of civil society called by those same deputies. 'We are already in October,' she said, 'so the appointment of the Supreme Court justices will not be this year.'
