The report of the Commission against Racism and Intolerance
Recently, the Council of Europe’s Commission against Racism and Intolerance published a report raising significant concerns about the racial profiling in Italy. According to the document, Italian law enforcement agencies are involved in racial profiling practices, particularly against communities such as Roma and migrants. This phenomenon not only undermines trust in institutions, but also fuels a culture of exclusion that conflicts with the principles of inclusion and respect for human rights.
Criticism of the judiciary and the political climate
The report not only highlights the issues surrounding racial profiling, but also criticizes the current political climate. undue criticism targeting the judiciary, particularly on migration cases, are described as an attack on judicial independence. The Commission stresses that such attacks can have devastating consequences for public trust in the justice system, creating an environment in which judges’ decisions are questioned and, consequently, undermining their authority.
Institutional reactions and the role of law enforcement
Reactions to the Commission’s statements were immediate. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni defended the police, saying that they work selflessly to ensure the safety of all citizens, without distinction. The President of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella, expressed his surprise at the criticism and confirmed his closeness and esteem towards the Police. These reactions highlight a gap between the institutions and the concerns raised by the Commission, suggesting that the debate on racial profiling and the inclusion of migrants is far from being resolved.
