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”.

– How does the reaction of the judicial community to comments made about Giorgia Meloni reflect broader tensions between the media, politics, and the judiciary?
**Interview with Dario Martini on the Recent Controversy Involving Italian Magistrates and Politics**
**Interviewer:** Thank you for joining us today, Dario. The recent events surrounding the comments made by magistrates about Giorgia Meloni have certainly stirred up quite a bit of controversy. Can you give us a brief overview of what sparked this debate?
**Dario Martini:** Thank you for having me. The controversy began when Antonella Marrone, a magistrate in Rome, posted a message on her WhatsApp status regarding Giorgia Meloni, the current Prime Minister of Italy. She commented on a photo Meloni shared of her daughter on the first day of school, suggesting that Meloni’s visible emotions might stem from “anger, ego, ambition, and envy.” This insight, particularly as it relates to an influential public figure, drew significant attention and prompted internal discussions among magistrates about privacy and freedom of expression.
**Interviewer:** It sounds like the magistrates were concerned about the implications of public scrutiny on their private communications. What has been the reaction within the judicial community following these events?
**Dario Martini:** Yes, indeed. There has been a notable uproar among certain factions of the judiciary, particularly from the left-leaning Democratic Magistracy. After Marrone’s comments were publicized, there was a call to vigilance among magistrates, emphasizing the need to maintain boundaries regarding their private opinions and how they intersect with the media’s role in reporting them. This situation reflects a broader anxiety about the independence of judges and how their opinions could influence or be perceived regarding their professional roles.
**Interviewer:** On top of that, we saw Deputy Prosecutor Marco Patarnello make a bold statement comparing Meloni to Berlusconi. Could that have fueled the protests from magistrates?
**Dario Martini:** Absolutely. Patarnello’s assertion that Meloni is “more dangerous” than Berlusconi, specifically because she has not been under investigation, certainly added fuel to the fire. This comparison not only rattled political supporters but also stirred concerns about a potential bias among judges. The subsequent support for Patarnello from leftist lawmakers further complicated things, as it raises questions about the interplay between political affiliations and judicial independence.
**Interviewer:** This all seems to highlight a significant tension between the press’s right to investigate and report and the personal opinions expressed by judges. How do you see this developing going forward?
**Dario Martini:** The situation is complex. On one hand, freedom of the press is crucial for democracy; however, it needs to be balanced with the independence of the judiciary. If magistrates feel their private comments can lead to public backlash, it may create a chilling effect on their expressions of opinion. Moving forward, we may see calls for clearer guidelines on how judges can engage in public discourse without compromising their roles or creating perceptions of bias, as well as discussions on media ethics regarding private communications.
**Interviewer:** Thank you, Dario. This situation certainly raises important questions about the relationship between judges, the media, and politics in Italy. We appreciate your insights.
**Dario Martini:** Thank you for having me. It’s a crucial topic that deserves more discussion as we navigate these challenges in our democratic system.
