Elon Musk on Monday commented with a
"Bravo!" the post of an X user, Mario Nawfal, who wrote that
Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni is pushing a historic reform to
separate the career paths of judges and prosecutors.
In the comment shared by Musk, Nawfal wrote that "PM Giorgia
Meloni is pushing a historic reform to split judges from
prosecutors, arguing it will speed up trials and make the system
more impartial".
"Italy's courts are among the slowest in Europe, with cases
taking four times longer than the EU average", claimed the X
user applauded by Musk, who heads US President Donald Trump's
new government efficiency agency.
"For decades, judges and prosecutors have operated as an
untouchable political force, resisting accountability",
continued the post.
In November last year, Musk wrote on his platform X that Rome
judges who nixed the detention of a second batch of migrants
subjected to Italy's controversial policy of taking migrants to
be processed in Albania needed to go, prompting Italian
President Sergio Mattarella to say that Italy knows how to take
care of itself.
The Tesla, X and SpaceX owner Musk had written via X "these
judges need to go," on a user's post on the news of the
suspension of the validation of the detention of seven migrants
decided by the immigration section of the court of Rome.
Premier Giorgia Meloni, the leader of the right-wing Brothers of
Italy party, and the world's richest man have repeatedly
expressed their admiration for each other.
Last month, the Lower House gave the first green light of at
least four parliamentary votes necessary to approve a bill to
separate the career paths of prosecutors and judges, so they can
no longer switch between the two roles.
The vote was the first passage necessary for the approval of the
Constitutional reform bill that also creates a high court to
discipline members of the judiciary and changes the make-up of
the judiciary's self-governing body, the CSM, overhauling the
way CSM justices are elected, using a draw process.
The judiciary's union has called a strike against the reform on
February 27, saying it hinders the autonomy and independence of
magistrates and is aimed at bringing prosecutors under executive
control.
