Governo Meloni

These people were in no condition to be saved.But really, in good conscience, is there anyone who believes that the government deliberately caused 60 people to die?Let's be serious.The issue is simple in its tragedy.No emergency communication has been received from Frontex.We were not warned.Nothing in this matter has anything to do with the government's measures with NGOs. It took the Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, a week to comment the Cutro massacre, in Calabria, the most serious shipwreck since 2013 on the Italian coast which has so far caused the confirmed death of 72 people, including 28 minors, and around forty people missing.And he did so by blocking those who call into question the responsibilities of the Italian authorities in the opaque dynamics of the rescue chain and those who call for the resignation of the Minister of the Interior, Matteo Piantedosi, not only for his words of rare inhumanity immediately after the tragedy, but also for the rescue operation after the ship...

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...

Almost ten years have passed since around 600 people lost their lives in two shipwrecks, on 3 and 11 October 2013 off the coast of Lampedusa.In the 11th attack, at least 60 minors lost their lives, so much so that it was defined as "the massacre of children".Since 2016, the Day of Remembrance and Reception has been established on 3 October, as a warning that such tragedies should not be repeated. Since 2014, almost over 26,000 people have disappeared in the same way in the Mediterranean Sea while trying to reach European shores, according to the data provided by the Missing Migrants project of the World Organization for Migration (IOM). via Missing Migrants Project The last massacre took place at dawn on February 26th:dozens of bodies were dragged by the waves of the stormy sea onto the beach of Steccato di Cutro, in Calabria, after the shipwreck of a fishing boat leaving from Izmir, Turkey, with over 200 people on board. Over 60 people have died of this latest shipwreck at t...

The Government has approved the decree which provides new rules for NGOs Updated December 29, 2022:Yesterday the government approved “a decree-law that introduces urgent provisions for the management of migratory flows”, on the proposal of the Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and the Minister of the Interior Matteo Piantedosi.The decree establishes a new code of conduct for NGOs carrying out rescues at sea, with more stringent rules.As anticipated, among the sanctions the decree provides for "the administrative detention of the ship (against which appeal to the prefect is permitted) and, in the event of repetition of the prohibited conduct, the confiscation of the same, preceded by precautionary seizure".Sanctions are also foreseen if the commander and owner of a ship "do not provide the information requested by the national authority for search and rescue at sea or do not comply with the instructions given by the latter". Among the first reactions is that...
