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 are the recent controversies surrounding Magistrate Antonella Marrone’s comments about Giorgia Meloni and their implications for the Italian judiciary?
**Interview with Dario Martini, Political Analyst**
**Interviewer:** Thank you for joining us today, Dario. There seems to be significant tension within the Italian judiciary, particularly in light of the comments made by Magistrate Antonella Marrone regarding Giorgia Meloni. Can you provide some context on what has been happening?
**Dario Martini:** Thank you for having me. Yes, the situation has escalated notably recently. The comments by Magistrate Marrone, particularly her reflections on Meloni’s public demeanor—labeling it as driven by “anger, ego, ambition, and envy”—have ignited controversy. This stems from a broader concern among magistrates about how their past expressions and opinions are being scrutinized by the press, leading to calls for increased vigilance among their ranks.
**Interviewer:** Why do you think these past comments are resurfacing now, and what implications does this have for political and judicial discourse in Italy?
**Dario Martini:** The timing is crucial—this resurfacing coincides with rising political tensions and an ongoing debate about judicial independence in Italy. Many magistrates feel that their roles are under threat, especially as politicians like Meloni rise to power without significant legal scrutiny. The fact that prominent judges are expressing concerns about the media’s focus on their views raises questions about transparency and accountability within the judicial system.
**Interviewer:** There have been other instances as well, such as Deputy Prosecutor Marco Patarnello’s comments about Meloni being potentially more dangerous than Berlusconi. How do such assertions affect public perception of the judiciary?
**Dario Martini:** Absolutely. Such statements can polarize public opinion. While some may see them as a necessary critique of political figures who are perceived as having authoritarian tendencies, others view these remarks as judicial overreach or bias. It invites discussions about the role of judges in political matters and whether they should remain neutral. The backlash from such comments often leads to discussions around whistleblower protections and freedom of the press, which is essential in a democratic society.
**Interviewer:** Considering this turmoil, what can we expect in the near future regarding the relationship between the judiciary and the political landscape in Italy?
**Dario Martini:** I believe we will witness further tensions as the government seeks to assert its authority while the judiciary aims to maintain its independence. The magistrates will likely continue to voice their concerns, which could lead to increased political pushback. How both sides navigate this landscape will be crucial in shaping Italy’s political future. Additionally, any legislative changes that might arise could either strengthen judicial independence or, conversely, limit their reach.
**Interviewer:** Thank you, Dario, for your insights. It appears that these developments will be significant for Italy moving forward.
**Dario Martini:** Thank you for having me. It’s definitely a conversation worth watching closely.
