Summary/Abstract: In the criminal process (and not only) the right to defense and the right to a fair trial represent constitutionally guaranteed rights, and the right to conciliation, in cases where the law expressly provides for this, is a fundamental right in the current criminal legislation. In the cases brought to trial, when it is ordered to change the legal classification of a crime for which the institution of reconciliation of the parties is not incident to one for which the law regulates it, the parties to the case are unjustly deprived of this right.
