The Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni commented today, through a post on social media, the judicial evolution of the Almasri case, an affair that involves government representatives and which for months has been the subject of political and media attention. “Today I was notified of the provision by the Court of Ministers for the Almasri case,” writes Meloni. The procedure lasted well beyond the terms of the law: “After more than six months from its start, compared to the three months provided for by law, and after unjustifiable news escapes”. According to reports from the premier, the judges filed the position that concerns her, while for the other members of the government – the Minister of the Interior Matteo Plantedi, the Minister of Justice Carlo Nordio and the Undersecretary for the Prime Minister Alfredo Mantovano – a request for authorization would be coming to proceed.
Meloni defends the line of his executive: “Unlike some predecessor of mine, who has distanced himself from one of his minister in similar situations, I claim that this government acts cohesively under my guide: every choice, especially so important, is agreed”. For this reason, he defines as “absurd” that only some members of the government can be proceeded, excluding herself, that you assume full political and operational co -responsibility of the decisions made. The Almasri case, which revolves around the story of the young Palestinian and its expulsion from Italy, is therefore confirmed as a terrain of confrontation between justice and politics. Meloni’s words strengthen the idea of a compact executive, ready to defend their choices also on the judicial level. It now remains to be seen what Parliament’s position will be on the request for authorization to proceed to planted, Nordio and Mantovano.
