(ANSA) - ROME, NOV 19 - Elon Musk forced the Italian Left to defend Italian sovereignty after he called for the dismissal of Italian judges who had nixed the detention of migrants taken to new processing centres in Albania, Premier Giorgia Meloni said Tuesday.
    She said this contradicted the centre left's call for the EU to open infraction proceedings against Italy for the controversial new policy of offshoring migrant processing to a non-EU country.
    "The left is tearing its clothes over (Musk's) interference after having among other things asked the EU to open an infringement for Italy, said Meloni, in Rio de Janeiro for the G20, during a press briefing. "Among the many exploits that Musk has achieved is having forced the left to defend national sovereignty." Meloni is a personal friend of the world's richest man. (ANSA).
