Italian media continue to raise questions about Meloni's scheme to bring deported immigrants to Gjadra...
The Italian government will try again this week to bring migrants to the Gjadri camp. After three failures with migrants caught at sea, Meloni has changed strategy. It will bring there individuals whose asylum requests have been rejected and are awaiting deportation.
But according to Italian media, at the same time, the Asylum and Immigration Center, in collaboration with the Contact Group composed of Italian opposition MPs (Chamber of Deputies and Senate) and the European Parliament, will return to Albania to carry out a monitoring mission.
The mission aims to carefully verify the selection criteria of the transferred persons, the operational methods of transfer and the conditions of stay in the Albanian center, with particular attention to the respect of their fundamental rights, including legal protection and access to medical care.
The Asylum and Immigration Center firmly denounces the absurdity and instrumental nature of this operation, defining it as another attempt to feed a distorted image of migration management. Decree-Law DL 37/2025 represents in fact an emergency measure that the government has only formally justified with the need to reconfigure Albanian structures after the failure of the initial protocol signed with Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama.
However, no official document has specifically clarified the reasons for the alleged urgency of using the Gjadra center for people already detained in Italy, awaiting deportation.
Historically, administrative detention for repatriation purposes has shown extremely limited effectiveness, ranging between 10% and 30% of returns actually carried out compared to people detained in CPR (Repatriation Detention Centers). Therefore, the economic resources devoted to this practice are unjustified and, with the current decree, are destined to multiply in a worrying way, also due to the lack of transparency that makes it difficult to identify the real costs incurred for operations defined as overt propaganda.
Furthermore, current data shows that the Repatriation Detention Centers have only 50% of their reception capacity occupied. This clearly highlights how the decision to forcibly transfer people to Albania does not respond to real logistical or organizational needs, but takes on a clearly punitive and hostile character towards all those people who, by losing the right to renew their residence permit, risk being subjected to forced transfers across the border. /Adapted from “Pamphlet” by “ Stranieri In Italia ”
