Italy restores the "Albania" operation related to refugees. 17 days after the arrival of the first asylum seekers and 15 days after their return to Italy following the court decision, the good weather has returned, Rome tries again.
From Monday Libra, the Navy ship, will return to its station 20 miles from Lampedusa to patrol the waters and welcome refugees rescued in the Mediterranean and send them to Albania: only grown men coming from countries considered safe according to Italian legislation. A provision with a wider scope than the indications of the Court of Justice of the EU, on the basis of which the magistrates of Rome on October 18 overturned the first draft of the agreement.
In essence, the Rome court ruling ruled that the "accelerated border procedure" cannot be applied to migrants coming from countries deemed safe only by Italy and not by European legislation. It is now clear that for the Court of Justice of the EU a country cannot be defined as safe if even a small minority of citizens are at risk and it is up to the judge responsible to distinguish case by case whether repatriation would endanger the lives of the person. Therefore, Rome, if the criteria of the EU Court were to be followed, would have to revise its list of safe countries, excluding for example Tunisia, Egypt or Bangladesh, where most asylum seekers come from. This would be the end of the "Albania" project.
And instead, after a head-on collision with the judiciary, a heated political fight and controversy over the costs of the operation, the Italian government is once again trying to keep the pact with Albania alive.
On October 21, it passed a legal decree that marked the expansion of its list of "safe havens", which went from a secondary right to a primary one, with the aim of strengthening it and placing it as a priority, in the legal hierarchy, in in relation to the indications of the European Court.
Is the second decision good? Last Tuesday arrived the first official document questioning the legitimacy of this measure: the Court of Bologna, examining a complaint filed by a thirty-year-old Bangladeshi who had been refused asylum, asked the Court of Justice of the EU- to rule that the decree should not be implemented as the criteria used by the government in determining a "safe" country conflict with European law.
Meanwhile, the hotspot of Shengjin and the three facilities of the center of Gjaderi, one for asylum seekers, one for immigrants who will be repatriated and the prison, remain "on hold". For two weeks they have remained without "guests", but populated by almost 300 workers: translators, cleaners, medical and nursing staff and police officers, financial police and carabinieri. Another sign that Meloni is not backing down is the communication that appeared yesterday on the website of the Ministry of Justice about the cleaning contract at the IEVP "Gjadër" that was assigned to a company from Tirana, "Pastrime Silvio" worth 48 thousand euros for 6 months. . / Adapted "Pamphlet" from "Corriere Della Sera"
