Analysis-Italy's Meloni takes on the judiciary, in echo of Berlusconi

^{Published on 2025-02-17 06:40:45 - MSN}

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is clashing with the country's judiciary in the same way her old political ally and mentor Silvio Berlusconi used to, promising a once-in-a-lifetime overhaul of the legal system.

The article discusses how Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is confronting the judiciary, reminiscent of the tactics used by former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi. Meloni, who leads a coalition including her far-right Brothers of Italy party, has criticized the judiciary for what she perceives as political bias, particularly after a court decision that blocked a decree aimed at extending the detention of migrants. This move echoes Berlusconi's long-standing battles with the judiciary, where he often accused judges of left-wing bias. Meloni's approach includes defending her government's policies in court and publicly questioning the impartiality of judicial decisions, thereby challenging the separation of powers in Italy. This strategy not only aims to protect her legislative agenda but also to resonate with her voter base by portraying the judiciary as an obstacle to her nationalist and conservative policies.
