Iolanda Apostolico has refused to publicly comment on the situation surrounding her recent actions as a judge, stating that she does not want to fuel any controversies. Marisa Acagnino, a colleague of Apostolico, spoke on her behalf, explaining that the judicial measures taken can be appealed through the appropriate channels without attacking Apostolico’s personal life and family. Tensions have risen further with the release of a video by Matteo Salvini, leader of the Lega party, which shows Apostolico present at a protest against the police’s treatment of immigrants. The video has sparked a debate, with the Association of Italian Magistrates expressing concern about the focus on the private lives of judges rather than the merits of their decisions. Many politicians and parties are divided on the issue, with some calling for Apostolico to provide an explanation and others criticizing her for engaging in political activities as a judge. The debate highlights a growing trend of questioning the impartiality and neutrality of judges, rather than focusing on the decisions they make. The case has also divided the Superior Council of Magistrates.
