Deputy Premier and Foreign Minister
Antonio Tajani said on Thursday that he shared President Sergio
Mattarella's statement that Italy knows how to take care of
itself regarding Elon Musk's position on the Italian judiciary.
"I absolutely share the words of the president of the Republic"
Sergio Mattarella, and "Musk's language doesn't belong to me",
said Tajani.
Mattarella spoke on Wednesday after Elon Musk wrote on his
platform X that Rome judges who nixed the detention of migrants
subjected to Italy's new policy of taking asylum seekers to be
processed in Albania "needed to go".
"We are a free, independent, democratic country, able to choose
its destiny", noted the foreign minister.
Tajani told ANSA, on the sidelines of a gathering of the Mutual
assistance agency for Italian professionals (EMAPI) in Rome,
that "a problem exists with a few magistrates who are using the
judicial power to occupy spaces of the executive and legislative
powers, and this is really unacceptable", replying to a question
on Musk's statements on the judiciary and migrants in Albania.
He added that he believes "some politicized magistrates should
make a profound reflection".
