The mole hunt has begun among the red robes. The scoop from , which yesterday published the anti-Meloni post by Antonella Marrone, the AreaDg judge, drove the members of this left-wing current crazy. Marrone is the Rome magistrate who signed some of the measures suspending the detention of migrants in Albania, with the consequence that this morning they had already returned to Italy. In the chats and messages between the magistrates a real tom tam has started to ask to raise the level of guard, since it is considered unacceptable that the press dares to delve into the (recent) past and into the ideas expressed publicly by the judges. We need to remember what Marrone wrote on 12 September 2022, shortly before the political elections. He had taken a screenshot of a post by Giorgia Meloni with which the future prime minister wished her daughter a happy first day at school. This photo was published on his WhatsApp “status”, with the following comment: «Ah, isn’t it anger, ego, ambition and envy that drives it? Hearing her speak in that angry voice seemed the opposite to me. I must have been wrong.”
It is the second time that the red robes protest against . It also happened last October 20, when the deputy prosecutor of Cassation Marco Patarnello of the Democratic Magistracy wrote in an ANM mailing list that Meloni is more dangerous than Silvio Berlusconi because she has no investigations. Immediately afterwards he received the support of the left, with Avs senator Ilaria Cucchi suing to find out the source of this news, in spite of freedom of the press. Incidentally, Patarnello’s movement celebrated its sixtieth anniversary in the Capitol last Saturday and Sunday. On that occasion, judge Silvia Albano, who was the first to “free” 12 migrants in Albania in mid-October, on the eve of Marrone’s sentence, anticipated the orientation of the Court of Rome on the need to get illegal immigrants out of the CPR in based on the interpretation of a ruling of the European Court of Justice.
The magistrate then added that “nothing can be done about the supremacy of European law, it is the government that seeks conflict”. A preview that provoked the reaction of Forza Italia group leader Maurizio Gasparri in the Senate, who asked the Keeper of the Seals Carlo Nordio to send inspectors to the immigration section of the Court of Rome. The line of these judges from the DG Area and Democratic Magistracy is fully supported by the president of the ANM Giuseppe Santalucia, according to whom “the situation has even worsened” compared to the times of Silvio Berlusconi, because previously the “red robes” were the public prosecutors , while now the red robes are everywhere, even in the civil courts and anyone who takes an unwelcome measure turns red.” It’s a shame that those red robes then write verbatim that the FdI leader “has a loud angry voice” and is dominated by “ego, envy and ambition”.

How does the current political climate in Italy influence the way magistrates engage with the media and the public?
**Interview with Legal Expert on Recent Judicial Controversy in Italy**
**Interviewer:** Today, we have with us Dr. Alessia Rinaldi, a legal expert and commentator on Italian judicial affairs. Thank you for joining us, Dr. Rinaldi.
**Dr. Rinaldi:** Thank you for having me.
**Interviewer:** We’ve seen a significant controversy unfold following Antonella Marrone’s critical remarks about Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. Could you summarize what has happened?
**Dr. Rinaldi:** Certainly. The controversy began when Marrone, a magistrate in Rome, shared a critical message about Meloni on her WhatsApp status, in direct relation to a post celebrating her daughter’s first day at school. The comments implied that Meloni’s public persona was driven by personal flaws like “anger, ego, ambition, and envy.” This has sparked a backlash among magistrates, who feel that discussions of their personal opinions could undermine the judiciary’s impartiality.
**Interviewer:** There seems to be a growing concern among magistrates about public scrutiny. Why do you think this is occurring now?
**Dr. Rinaldi:** The timing is significant. The Italian political landscape is highly charged, particularly with conservatives in power. Discussions about judges’ opinions can be viewed as attacks on judicial independence. As we saw previously with deputy prosecutor Marco Patarnello, who warned that Meloni posed a greater danger than former Prime Minister Berlusconi, there seems to be a pattern where magistrates are vocalizing their concerns about political figures. This is likely triggering defensive measures within the judiciary.
**Interviewer:** How is this affecting the relationship between the judiciary and the press?
**Dr. Rinaldi:** There is a palpable tension. Many magistrates are calling for heightened vigilance against press inquiries that delve into their past statements and opinions. This reaction suggests they fear that such scrutiny could be used against them to question their judgment in legal matters. However, it must be balanced with the freedom of the press to report on issues of public interest, including statements made by public figures who are in positions of power.
**Interviewer:** What are the potential implications of this situation for Italy’s judicial system?
**Dr. Rinaldi:** If the judiciary continues to react defensively, we may see an erosion of transparency and accountability. The public has a right to understand judges’ viewpoints, especially when these views could impact rulings on contentious issues, like immigration, which Marrone has been involved with. Maintaining a healthy balance between judicial independence and public accountability is essential for the integrity of the legal system.
**Interviewer:** what can we expect moving forward regarding this issue?
**Dr. Rinaldi:** It will be interesting to see how both the judiciary and the political landscape evolve. Continued public discourse about the actions of judges and their comments will likely persist. It may also prompt judicial bodies to either reinforce or reevaluate their protocols regarding interaction with the media and the public.
**Interviewer:** Thank you, Dr. Rinaldi, for your insights on this complex and evolving situation.
**Dr. Rinaldi:** Thank you for having me. It’s a crucial topic for both the judicial system and the future of democracy in Italy.
