The forced transfer to Albania

In recent days a migrant boat had been intercepted in the Mediterranean Sea by the Italian navy and, after a quick identification, in 16 of nationality of Egypt and Bangladesh considered “not vulnerable” and coming from “safe countries” they had been forcibly relocated in the new Italian detention centers in Albania, wanted by Meloni government for a total cost of 670 million euros in five years.

In the following hours, four of them had already returned to Italy, because it was discovered that they did not comply with the requirements necessary for detention in Albania:there were two minors, two others were vulnerable because he is in precarious health conditions.Subsequently the territorial commission analyzed the asylum requests of the remaining 12, with a speeded up procedure which required a few hours instead of the usual months needed to thoroughly investigate the individual's condition with interviews and other procedures.The asylum requests were all rejected and the asylum phase was therefore opened for the 12 migrant people detention with a view to repatriation.

The stop to detention by the Rome court

With the ruling of the Roman court the 12 migrant people will now have to be transferred to Italy, leaving the centers in Albania.Which will return to being empty, a few days after the inauguration.In Italy they will be able to appeal within 14 days against the rejection of their asylum request."Absurd!The judicial left comes to the aid of the parliamentary left." the post on X of the official profile of Brothers of Italy.
