Italian president tells Musk to quit meddling in Italy's politics
Hindustan TimesBy Crispian Balmer, Angelo Amante Italian president tells Musk to quit meddling in Italy's politics ROME -President Sergio Mattarella told Elon Musk on Wednesday not to interfere in Italian affairs after the U.S. billionaire said Rome judges blocking a government anti-immigration initiative should be sent packing. In response, Musk issued a statement via his Italian representative Andrea Stroppa, expressing "respect" for Mattarella and Italy's constitution, but reaffirming his intention to "continue to freely express his opinions". Saying he conveyed the same message in a "friendly" call with Meloni, Musk also expressed hope that Italian-US relations would grow even stronger and said he looked forward to meeting Mattarella soon. EU COURT AT CENTRE STAGE The controversy revolves around an October ruling by the EU's Court of Justice, which said that no nation of origin could be considered safe if even just a part of it was dangerous a position that called into question Italy's policy of trying to repatriate visa-less migrants to their home countries.
