The Cutro decree, approved by the Council of Ministers last March 9, among other things, imposed a crackdown on special permits for immigrants.Since some comments, political and otherwise, seem a little confusing, a clarification may be useful, showing the direction in which the government majority is going. The errors, flaws and falsehoods of the government's version of the Cutro massacre From the Security decree to the Cutro decree The issuing of the residence permit for special protection is provided for in cases in which the foreign citizen seeking asylum is not recognized as having refugee status or subsidiary protection, but the conditions set out in the TUI apply:in particular, if the foreigner, if repatriated, could be subject to persecution or risk being subjected to torture, inhuman or degrading treatment, systematic and serious violations of human rights.Until the Cutro decree, the repatriation was also precluded for foreigners who in their country of origin coul...

The tragedy that occurred off the coast of Cutro, in Calabria, in which 74 people lost their lives during a 4-day crossing from Turkey, has revived in all its drama the issue of managing rescues at sea and migratory flows.The following day the Minister of the Interior Matteo Piantedosi he released statements that confirm the inability of the current Government to understand the entire migratory phenomenon:“Desperation can never justify dangerous journeys.”Piantedosi's unfortunate exit is not only harmful for its inhumanity, but because it shows the security approach of the current executive, completely neglecting the aspect of hospitality. An aspect of migratory phenomena that is too often overlooked - and which remains of interest mostly to those who deal with or work in the hospitality sector - is in fact thathe it happens after disembarking or arriving in Italy.

Among the first reactions is that...

Of Oiza Q.Obasuyi The narrative adopted by the main Italian information sources when talking about immigration, people of foreign origin and racism often tends to be divided into two typologies:the trivialization of systemic racism on the one hand, and the criminalization of people on the other.The latter occurs through buzzwords such as "emergency" and "security", which often emerge in mainstream newspapers, in particular when talking about landings or urban areas with a greater presence of foreign people.This way of telling the facts not only has a real impact on the audience, who in turn can adopt it hostile and discriminatory behavior towards anyone with a migratory background, but it is also a symptom of the lack of a plurality of voices of various origins within both the Italian media and editorial offices. Between criminalization and emergency Taking care of how a person's nationality or origin is inserted in the text does not mean polluting the truthf...
