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 do personal opinions expressed by judges on social media affect the perception of judicial impartiality and independence?
**Interview with Judge Antonella Marrone on Recent Controversies**
**Interviewer:** Thank you for joining us, Judge Marrone. There’s been significant media attention surrounding your past comments about Giorgia Meloni as well as your recent rulings involving migrants. How have you been affected by the attention from both the media and your colleagues?
**Judge Marrone:** Thank you for having me. The media scrutiny has indeed been intense. My comments on social media were intended to express a personal opinion in a private context, not necessarily as a reflection of my professional role. It’s troubling to see personal sentiments being politicized in such a manner.
**Interviewer:** Many magistrates have reportedly expressed concern over how your post was used to criticize Meloni. Do you think this kind of discourse among judges impacts public trust in the judiciary?
**Judge Marrone:** I believe that discourse in any profession is vital, but it must be handled with care. The public’s trust in the judiciary relies heavily on our ability to remain impartial and focused on the law. When personal opinions seep into professional realms, it can blur those lines and cause valid concerns among my peers.
**Interviewer:** Just recently, Deputy Prosecutor Marco Patarnello drew a parallel between Meloni and Berlusconi, claiming she is more dangerous without investigations. What are your thoughts on the intertwining of politics and judicial commentaries from inside the judiciary?
**Judge Marrone:** The independence of the judiciary is paramount, and mixing political opinions with judicial responsibilities can be detrimental. While it’s important to discuss the implications of political leadership on justice, we must do so responsibly and ensure that our roles remain distinct.
**Interviewer:** Your involvement in releasing migrants from detention has also become a focal point. Can you elaborate on your rationale behind these decisions?
**Judge Marrone:** My rulings are based on the legal framework and interpretations of the European Court of Justice. It’s crucial that we provide protection to those in need while also adhering to international and domestic laws. Each case should be assessed individually and with compassion, in line with our legal obligations.
**Interviewer:** In light of these controversies, do you believe that the judiciary will need to adjust its approach to maintaining public confidence?
**Judge Marrone:** It’s essential for the judiciary to continuously introspect and adapt. Open dialogues about our roles and the implications of our decisions are necessary, but these should always honour our commitment to justice and impartiality. Striking the right balance is critical for maintaining public confidence.
**Interviewer:** Thank you for your thoughts, Judge Marrone. Your insights into these pressing issues are invaluable.
**Judge Marrone:** Thank you for the opportunity to speak on these important matters.
