"Judges need to go". Writing this on X was Elon Musk, referring to the magistrates of the Immigration Section of the Court of Rome who yesterday suspended the detention in Albania of seven migrants for "profiles of dubious compatibility with supranational discipline". Immediately responding to the richest man in the world was the Minister of Transport, Matteo Salvini, who wrote on the same social, "Elon Musk is right," recalling that he himself faces "a six-year prison sentence for stopping the landings of illegal immigrants in Italy when I was Minister of the Interior": the reference is to the Open Arms trial, in which the minister is accused of kidnapping and refusal to perform official acts for having detained 147 migrants on board the NGO Open Arms in August 2019. Harsh, however, were the reactions of the oppositions, with the Green-Left Alliance and the Democratic Party asking Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni to address the House with a statement. The request was to "come to the courtroom or consider herself if she will speak on the words Elon Musk has spoken". Laura Boldrini, PD Member of Parliament and Chair of the Chamber Standing Committee on Human Rights in the World, then asked "what gives Elon Musk the right to say what Italian judges should or should not do? What gives him the right to interfere with an independent power of a sovereign state that is not even his own? President Giorgia Meloni should keep her idol at bay and tell him to refrain from enacting such encroachments. Or is 'sovereignism' only for attacking European laws on migrants?" Also calling on Giorgia Meloni to distance herself from Musk's comment was Green Europe spokesperson and Green and Left Alliance MP Angelo Bonelli: "Musk's attack on Italian judges is not only unacceptable and an interference by Trump's right-hand man, but it is an unmistakable sign of what Musk wants to achieve, which is to build a technological autocracy thanks to his economic empire to do without democracy. With its social platforms, its conquest of space with its satellites through which it can condition military conflicts and geopolitics, as in Ukraine, it poses a problem for democracy. I expect the Italian PM's condemnation of Elon Musk's very serious words in defense of our constitution and judiciary”.
