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 publicly expressed 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”.

**What recent controversies have arisen between Italian magistrates and political figures regarding public comments?**
**Interview with Dario Martini on Recent Magistrate Controversies in Italy**
**Interviewer:** Thank you for joining us, Dario. There seems to be a growing tension between magistrates and political figures in Italy, particularly related to public comments. Can you explain what triggered these recent uproars?
**Dario Martini:** Certainly. The controversy began when Judge Antonella Marrone posted a critical comment about Giorgia Meloni, highlighting her perceived anger and ambition, which went public. This kind of expression has raised eyebrows among the magistrate community, leading to internal discussions about the boundaries of public commentary by judges.
**Interviewer:** That sounds significant. Why do you think Marrone’s comment particularly struck a nerve?
**Dario Martini:** Marrone’s insinuation that Meloni’s public persona is driven by negative emotions is not just a personal opinion; it’s particularly incendiary because Meloni is currently Prime Minister. Many magistrates fear that any public dissent or criticism might be viewed as political bias, which could be interpreted as undermining the independence of the judiciary.
**Interviewer:** It seems like there’s a deeper issue of accountability and free speech at play here, especially with Judge Marco Patarnello’s recent comments about Meloni. Could you elaborate on that?
**Dario Martini:** Yes, Patarnello’s remarks, where he compared Meloni’s danger to that of Silvio Berlusconi, caught considerable attention. They sparked outrage as they were shared in a private mailing list but then leaked to the press. This not only questions the ethics of leaking such content but also raises a conversation about the freedom of speech for judges and whether they can comment on current political figures without facing backlash.
**Interviewer:** How do these controversies impact the public’s perception of the judiciary in Italy?
**Dario Martini:** They can potentially erode trust in the judicial system if the public perceives judges as politically biased. The fear within the magistracy is that any public criticism of political figures could lead to accusations of bias, complicating their roles as impartial arbiters of the law.
**Interviewer:** And what do you foresee as the next steps for the magistrates amid these tensions?
**Dario Martini:** I think we can expect a tightening of internal protocols about public statements and possibly a call for greater transparency within the judiciary to maintain public trust. However, it’s a delicate balance; they also need to protect their right to express personal opinions without fear of repercussions. This issue will likely evolve as the political landscape continues to shift in Italy.
**Interviewer:** Thank you for your insights, Dario. The dynamics between judiciary and politics in Italy will be worth watching as this situation develops.
**Dario Martini:** Thank you for having me! It’s a critical moment for Italian democracy.
