His comments were regarding Elon Musk’s position on the Italian judiciary.
“I absolutely share the words of the President of the Republic [Sergio Mattarella] … 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’s response to ANSA came on the sidelines of a gathering of the mutual assistance agency for Italian professionals (EMAPI) in Rome.
“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,” he said.
He added that he believes “some politicised magistrates should have a profound reflection”.
