Prime Minister Edi Rama has launched a series of attacks on prosecutors and judges, but it seems that he is not the only one expressing criticism, dissatisfaction or warnings to people in the justice system. Giorgia Meloni, the Prime Minister of Italy, also does not hesitate to attack the Italian judiciary, calling them politicized magistrates.
Both Rama and Meloni appear dissatisfied with certain decisions that do not suit their respective governments, in Albania or Italy.
Rama reacts whenever a judge or prosecutor acts contrary to the interests of the Government or its forecasts, while Meloni in Italy acts more or less in the same way, but focuses his criticism on judges who do not legitimize the decisions of her Government in relation to immigrants.
"Italians voted for the center-right to restore clear rules and enforce them. And the government is doing so with determination, despite a politicized segment of the judiciary continuing to obstruct any action aimed at combating mass illegal immigration. Welcoming those who are eligible is a duty, but respecting Italian laws is essential, and those who refuse to do so are not welcome in Italy."
Giorgia Meloni's statement has reignited the debate between the government and the judiciary on immigration and repatriation. At the center of the case is a 56-year-old Algerian citizen, subject to two deportation orders issued by the prefects of Cuneo and Alessandria for posing a threat to society.
He has 23 convictions between 1999 and 2023 and numerous criminal records.
In a ruling dated February 10, the Rome Court ruled that the Interior Ministry must pay him 700 euros in compensation. The Prime Minister describes this decision as symbolic in relation to the government's difficulties in implementing measures to combat irregular immigration.
The Prime Minister spoke about the case of an “Algerian citizen, illegally residing in Italy, with 23 convictions, including assault for punching and kicking a woman,” who “cannot be held in a Private Protective Rehabilitation Center or transferred to Albania for repatriation. For him,” the Prime Minister said, “some judges have even decided not only that there will be no deportation, but that the Ministry of the Interior will have to compensate him with 700 euros for trying to enforce a deportation order.”
“The government,” says Meloni in the video published on social networks, “will continue with determination its work to strengthen repatriations, to make the tools to combat irregular immigration more effective and to ensure security and legality for citizens, including the initiatives that Italy is following in Europe for faster procedures and effective repatriations.”
The reaction comes amid an already tense climate between the government and the judiciary over immigration, repatriation detention centers, and transfers to Albania.
On the one hand, the government asserts the mandate it received from voters and the need to ensure security and compliance with the rules; on the other hand, the judiciary asserts the legitimacy of individual measures in light of current regulations and the guarantees offered by the law.
