The departure of 500 people, including police, carabinieri and financial police, who will have to ensure the functioning of the protocol is planned for August 20.
"La Repubblica" has revealed details regarding the opening of the immigrant reception center in Gjadër.
The first test by the military engineers, to open only a part of the reception center for immigrants in Gjadër, is set for August 20, while the second one should give the agreement for the final handover to the Ministry of Interior for September 1.
The departure of 500 people, including police, carabinieri and financial police, who will have to ensure the functioning of the protocol is also planned for August 20.
Earlier, two more dates were given for the opening, but it is now confirmed that the opening of the reception centers for immigrants in Gjadër and Shengjin in Lezha starts at the beginning of the fourth week of the month.
There were no migrant flows in the summer
It seems that this is not an emergency summer for migratory flows with a consolidated decrease of 63% (the lowest figure since the Covid summer) and there is room everywhere in Italian hotspots and reception centers. Suffice it to say that in September 2023, 5,000 people arrived in Lampedusa in a single day, as many as have now descended in the whole of July.
Therefore, the least suitable premises to justify an expenditure of almost one billion euros is what the centers in Albania are expected to cost in the next five years.
Work is still underway in Gjadër
In the Gjadri area, the companies that are working on the construction of the reception center for asylum seekers are still reporting major problems with the works, while on August 1 the building still had no electricity. Four asylum seekers will be in a room with two bunk beds as can be seen in the prefabs, while the lack of air conditioning is still noticeable. And in these temperatures inside Albania, which force workers to work only at dawn or late afternoon, staying there would be forbidden.
No information on operation
"The Italian centers in Albania are ready to function", guaranteed on July 30 the undersecretary of the Prime Minister Alfredo Mantovano in the Antimafia commission. For two months, the police forces have been monitoring the ready but deserted Shengjin point, with an expenditure of 50 thousand euros per month, food and accommodation in two hotels. The technical boards have not yet communicated any information about how daily life will work in the two centers: in Shengjin, in-depth identification of immigrants brought after the first classification must be guaranteed, which will instead be done directly on Italian military ships, where , it is not clear how and who will be able to determine whether people rescued at sea really come from so-called safe places and do not present vulnerable conditions.
People will have to freshen up, wash in the ten showers installed, visit the ambulance, be asked about their intention to apply for asylum and be notified of the arrest warrant by the Rome police station. And then, passing through the Albanian territory, it will be necessary to carry out the translations of the immigrants, who in the meantime will be placed in administrative detention, provided that, within 48 hours, the judges of the immigration section of Rome certify the detention with immigrants connected by video conference. Ten screens have already been installed in the courtrooms of Rome, currently none in Albania.
Rescue at sea
Even those who will have to operate at sea are still awaiting instructions. Who will have to help to bring the immigrants to Albania? Apparently Italian coast guard vehicles operating on the Tunisian route, where they are more likely to intercept people coming from safe countries than on the Libyan route, where most migrants have been "tortured" and are therefore vulnerable or come from unsafe places. But it is exactly Libya, from where 70% of departures are registered now and for this reason, however paradoxical it may seem, it will not be easy to gather a group of men to send to Albania. Where they will be picked up by Italian military ships and further transported to the reception centers in Albania. As long as there is time to fulfill Giorgia Meloni's wish: a trip, at least one, before the end of August. By all means./ Taken from "La Repubblica"
