A provocative flyer promoting a fundraising event organized by the National Association of Magistrates (ANM) in Rome has surfaced, causing embarrassment and controversy within the judicial community. The event, scheduled for March 4, 2026, features a buffet and DJ set with a ticket price set at €60. This price has raised eyebrows, with many questioning the appropriateness of such a high entry fee for an event tied to a judicial organization. The flyer also states that proceeds will go to the "Giusto dire no" committee, which further complicates the narrative around the event and its intentions.

The dissemination of the flyer via social media among Roman salons and even reaching the hands of active magistrates has led to mixed reactions. One former member of the ANM expressed relief at no longer being associated with the organization, suggesting that there is a sense of regret among some regarding their past affiliations. Politicians like Maurizio Gasparri have publicly criticized the event, indicating that it has shocked those who uphold the integrity of the judiciary and questioning the motivations behind such fundraising initiatives.

This incident raises broader questions about the relationship between the judiciary and public events, particularly in light of the sensitivity surrounding judicial independence and integrity. While fundraising is often necessary for various causes, the nature and promotion of this event bring to light the challenges faced by judicial bodies in maintaining public trust and credibility. As the flyer circulates and public sentiment gathers, the ANM's reputation may face significant scrutiny as it navigates the fallout from this situation.
