Italy's President Criticizes Musk's Migration Comments

Italian President Sergio Mattarella criticized Elon Musk for his comments on Italian court rulings that blocked the government's plan to process asylum-seekers in Albania. Musk, expected to join Donald Trump's administration, questioned Italy's democracy after a court decision against Premier Giorgia Meloni's immigration strategy. Mattarella emphasized respect for Italy's sovereignty, especially from future foreign officials. The court's rulings have frustrated Meloni's government, which views the Albanian processing centers as key to its immigration policy.
