Before her vacation, Meloni attacks the prosecutors: "I'm drawing to slow me down because the reform is here." She then leaves for Greece.

Before going on vacation to Greece, she sends the judiciary to the seaside. Giorgia Meloni says she sees "a political agenda surrounding some of the judiciary's decisions, particularly those regarding immigration issues." As if, the prime minister accuses in an interview with Tg5 , " there's somehow a desire to hamper our efforts to combat illegal immigration ." The accusation isn't new, but it's becoming more complex given the current fronts. Starting with the Almasri case, for which the Tribunal of Ministers has requested authorization to proceed against ministers Carlo Nordio and Matteo Piantedosi, and undersecretary Alfredo Mantovano. Meloni maintains it's all "surreal." Namely, the dismissal of the case against her and the action against the other three government officials "who acted to protect and secure the country." For the first time, the prime minister is going so far as to explain the rationale behind these investigations.

Here's Giorgia Meloni's accusation in the aftermath of the documents sent to the Chamber of Deputies' Authorization Committee: "Obviously, it's not lost on me that the justice reform is proceeding at a rapid pace, and I've taken into account possible consequences." According to the Prime Minister, therefore, judicial reprisals are underway against the executive branch. That is, small and large signs of resistance are emerging in anticipation of the reform on the separation of careers. If the government's initial intention was to keep the controversy low-key, after these words, everything is heated up and brightened up again. The clash between politics and the judiciary is now a reality. Therefore, it's not surprising that the Brothers of Italy party has filed a dossier on the Almasri affair, accusing ANM president Cesare Parodi of being the protagonist of "a veritable invasion of the field." Parodi had referred to the possible involvement in the trial of Giusi Bartolozzi, cabinet chief to Minister Carlo Nordio. Regarding the fate of the Via Arenula top executive, the government is questioning whether she can be shielded like the other officials involved in the proceedings. Much depends on the Rome Prosecutor's Office's moves, the timing, and the type of charge eventually brought against her. This is a case that treads a fine line between the law and the law. The difference would be the "complicity" of failure to perform official duties, which would then push Bartolozzi into the same trap as Piantedosi, Nordio, and Mantovano. With all the consequences and defenses that this entails. The request for authorization to proceed mentions the Chief of Staff's version of events, which is deemed "unreliable in several respects and, indeed, mendacious."

The documents are being studied; the matter is politically sensitive. That's why yesterday, Palazzo Chigi sent MP Dario Iaia, a member of the Authorizations Committee, to read the substantial appendices to the request for authorization to proceed . They are over a thousand pages full of redactions, given that the dynamics of the Almasri affair also involve the heads of our secret services, who participated in the most sensitive meetings. The Interior Ministry front points out that the judges confirm what Piantedosi had said in the Chamber: no threats had come from Libya during the repatriation process. However, the government has nevertheless analyzed the situation, also based on the AISI reports, and believed that reprisals would certainly follow. The opposition is demanding that Meloni appear before the Chamber; the prime minister will leave for Greece today, accompanied by her daughter, her former partner Andrea Giambruno, her sister Arianna, and her ex, Francesco Lollobrigida, minister plenipotentiary of the FdI. The Mykonos hypothesis, where Meloni went with a group of friends fifteen years ago, has been denied. The hunt for the Greek presidential island is on. The first stop on a relaxing tour that will also include Puglia, but no masseria in Ceglie Messapica like in previous years.
