During the closing of the center-right election campaign in Umbria, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni reiterated her determination to fight irregular immigration. Without hesitation, she stated: “I intend to move forward on immigration and do everything possible to stop irregular immigration.” Meloni also commented on the recent controversies regarding the relationship between politics and the judiciary, stressing that she has no intention of entering into conflict with the judicial system. She cited judges Falcone and Borsellino as models of integrity, expressing deep respect for their sacrifice on behalf of the nation.
The President said she sees the Italian judiciary as an institution made up of people ready to sacrifice themselves for the common good.
The statements of the famous entrepreneur Elon Musk on the Italian judiciary have provoked significant reactions within the government. Antonio Tajani, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, expressed his full agreement with the words of the President of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella. Tajani emphasized that Italy is a free and independent country, capable of deciding its own destiny. However, he also warned against the misuse of judicial power by some magistrates. According to Tajani, it is unacceptable that some judges try to occupy spaces reserved for the executive and legislative power.
Matteo Salvini, leader of the League and deputy prime minister, also weighed in on the issue. He acknowledged that most of the 9,300 judges in Italy are committed to their work in the fight against organized crime. However, he denounced the presence of politicized judges who influence their sentences based on their personal beliefs.
Salvini warned that if a judge brings personal opinions into the courtroom that are contrary to laws approved by Parliament, this represents a serious problem for the Italian legal system. Concluding his analysis on immigration, Salvini said that if Italy fails to expel illegal immigrants as other European countries do, the responsibility falls on all Italians.
Recent statements by Italian political leaders highlight a growing tension between politics and justice in the context of immigration. While Meloni and her allies promise strong action against irregular immigration, criticism of magistrates suggests a climate of distrust in the legal system. This scenario invites broader reflections on the need to ensure a clear separation of state powers to preserve Italian democracy as a whole.
