Italian President Sergio Mattarella has urged Elon Musk to refrain from interfering in Italy's political matters. This follows Musk's comments criticizing judges who questioned the legality of a government plan to detain asylum-seekers in Albania. Musk's remarks came as tensions rise between Italy's ruling coalition and the judiciary. Mattarella emphasized Italy's sovereignty and the need for respect from foreign figures, especially those in influential positions. The controversy is linked to a recent EU court ruling affecting Italy's immigration policies. The ruling complicates the government's efforts to repatriate migrants, leaving its detention plan in uncertainty as legal reviews are pending.
