(ANSA-AFP) - ROME, NOV 13 - Italian President Sergio
Mattarella on Wednesday said Italy knows how to take care of
itself after Elon Musk the previous day wrote on his platform X
that Rome judges who nixed the detention of a second batch of
migrants subjected to Italy's controversial policy of taking
migrants to be processed in Albania needed to go. "Italy is a
great democratic country and I must reiterate that it knows how
to take care of itself, in the respect of its Constitution", the
Italian president said, quoting a previous speech on October 7,
2022. Mattarella went on to say that "anyone, particularly if,
as announced," they are "about to undertake an important
government role in a friendly and allied country, must respect
sovereignty and cannot claim the role of imparting provisions".
The Tesla, X and SpaceX owner Musk, who was appointed by US
President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday to head a newly created
government efficiency agency, wrote via X "these judges need to
go," on a user's post on the news of the suspension of the
validation of the detention of seven migrants decided by the
immigration section of the court of Rome. The court referred the
case to the European Court of Justice. (ANSA-AFP).
