The recent decision by the Bologna Tribunal to refer the government's decree on safe countries to the European Court of Justice has sparked significant debate in Italy.

Stefano Musolino, Deputy Prosecutor in Reggio Calabria, noted that the decision was predictable, as the government overlooked the supremacy of European law over national legislation, a principle enshrined in international treaties signed by Italy.

This move has drawn criticism from Infrastructure Minister Matteo Salvini, who suggested that judges should pursue political careers if they wish to engage in political discourse.

The ruling highlights ongoing tensions between national and European legal frameworks, emphasizing the need for alignment with EU regulations.
