Mattarella has asked the tycoon to "not poke his nose" into Italy's affairs...
The alignment of Elon Musk next to Giorgia Meloni has ignited debates in Italy. He made a strong statement yesterday, attacking the judges who overturned the refugee pact. Musk declared that those judges should be dismissed, but this statement was not well received by both the opposition and President Matarela.
The latter has reacted today with a stinging message, which clearly seems to be for Elon Musk. In general terms, he asked the tycoon not to "stick his nose" into Italy's affairs.
" Italy is a great democratic country and I must reiterate, with the words used on another occasion, on October 7, 2022, that "it knows how to take care of itself in accordance with its Constitution". Anyone, especially if, as has been warned, he will take on an important governmental role in a friendly and ally country, must respect its sovereignty and cannot take on the task of giving Italy recipes ," said Sergio Mattarella.
According to "Corriere Della Sera", the reference has to do with the words of Elon Musk and his attitude towards Italian judges, on the issue of the repatriation of immigrants from Albania.
But the billionaire has continued with the statements even today: " Do the Italian people live in a democracy or is it an unelected autocracy that takes the decisions? ".
Yesterday, the Italian opposition also reacted strongly, asking Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni to condemn Musk's statements and defend the independence of the judiciary and the Italian Constitution.
" It is shameful that the self-proclaimed sovereigntists of our country let an American billionaire like Musk dictate their line ," said Democratic Party Secretary Elly Schlein.
The President of the Senate, Ignazio La Russa, spoke on the subject of the return of migrants from Albania to Italy, describing it as "a very complicated issue" that requires a solution from the European Court. / Pamphlet
