Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni sharply criticized a series of judicial rulings that she said are obstructing her government’s efforts to combat illegal immigration, calling the decisions “objectively absurd” and questioning whether some magistrates are undermining enforcement of the law.

In a video statement, Meloni first pointed to a recent ruling ordering the Interior Ministry to compensate an Algerian citizen with 23 convictions after authorities attempted to transfer him to a repatriation center in Albania. 

According to Meloni, judges not only blocked the expulsion but required the state to pay €700 in damages.

“Just yesterday I commented on the surreal decision by the judiciary to order the Ministry of the Interior to compensate with Italian money an illegal immigrant with 23 convictions behind whom the state had had the daringness to transfer to the CPR in Albania for deportation,” Meloni said. 
She described the ruling as “shameful news,” adding that it was overshadowed by another decision issued the following day.
