Musk Criticizes Italian Judiciary Over Migration Policy

Italian President Sergio Mattarella has responded sharply to Elon Musk's criticism of Italian judges who blocked a government initiative to process migrants in Albania, asserting that Italy can manage its own affairs independently. Musk's comments, made on social media, called for the removal of judges involved in a court ruling that overturned the detention of migrants, igniting controversy in Italian politics. Mattarella emphasized the importance of respecting Italy's sovereignty, particularly from individuals about to assume significant roles in foreign governments. The situation has polarized opinions within the Italian government, with some coalition members supporting Musk's intervention while others condemn it as inappropriate. Opposition parties have demanded that Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni publicly address Musk's remarks to uphold the integrity of Italy's judiciary. Musk's involvement raises questions about foreign influence in domestic legal matters and the implications for Italian democracy.
