Deaths:399.Missing:487.It is the tragic toll of the shipwrecks that occurred in the first six months of 2024 on the central Mediterranean route, according to the data published by the International Organization for Migration (IOM).Yet, while hundreds of people continue to die at sea trying to reach our coasts, in Italy it is increasingly difficult to account for shipwrecks:journalists are kept away from the ports and the press has to face a series of obstacles in reporting these events, which now end up being surrounded by an impenetrable rubber wall. The problem is not new:for years, the difficulties faced by reporters in accessing the ports have been compounded by the impossibility of coming into contact with the survivors, which makes it practically impossible to independently reconstruct the truth of the facts.Added to this is the scarcity of official communications, and the continuous request for authorization to approach the dock.“Before, reporters could access ports to...

There must be, somewhere, a secret manual on how not to behave in the face of incidents of discrimination, and everyone in Italian football must have read it.The episode of Francesco Acerbi and Juan Jesus is unfortunately just the umpteenth confirmation of a system which, despite numerous precedents, seems to react every time as if it were the first. Racism in football does not only concern Italy.The difference, however, lies in the response Monday 18 March was exemplary from this point of view.While the controversy surrounding the racist epithet allegedly addressed by the Inter defender to his Brazilian opponent had been going on since the previous evening, in the morning Acerbi's agent, Federico Pastorello, spoke at the TransferRoom Summit in Rome supporting that in reality there had been no racist insult, and that the story had been "badly reported".In the early afternoon, the FIGC he announced the exclusion of the player from the national team, currently involved in a co...

The European Parliament on 10 April voted in plenary composition the adoption of the new Pact for migration and asylum:the approved rules will be formally adopted, after the European Council has approved them, by June 2024.It is the end of a journey that began four years ago.The European Commission's 2020 legislative proposal was born with the aim of outlining a common European framework for the management of migration and asylum, with various legislative proposals. At the end of last year, the Council and the European Parliament had reached a provisional agreement, but that already he marked the direction of the Union's policy, sui five key pillars:the regulation on the management of asylum and migration, the response to migratory crises, asylum procedures, the implementation of the European Dactyloscopie (Eurodac) and the new screening procedures. What we talk about in this article:The enthusiasm of the European institutions for a vote they define as "historic"What the...

European First.It could be summarized like this the agreement on asylum and migration reached on 20 December after all-night negotiations between representatives of national governments, the European Parliament and the European Commission. After years of clashes and fractures, the European Union is consolidating, strengthening the walls of his fortress, erecting walls, elevating migrant people for a moment to a role that is difficult to maintain and then letting them fall.In the middle of the sea. We have been waiting for the reform of the European asylum and migration system for some time.There has been talk for years about the reform of the Dublin Regulation and, in particular, its key principle:that the country of entry be responsible for all asylum procedures even if those arriving do not intend to stay in the country where they arrive.There was great anticipation for this pact on asylum and migration because it will define the direction of EU migration policies for many yea...

It works like this.A proposal is made that is inadmissible from many points of view, requiring the proposer to be kicked out, closing the door rudely behind him.Or throwing it in his face, if he is at the door. The advantage of making it so big?Simple.The subsequent proposal, purged of the most inadmissible aspects, will at that point seem much more reasonable or acceptable.It will seem the result of a happy and constructive common sense mediation.Let's be clear:it cannot be ruled out that the other party is not so smart as to accept the first proposal.But this would only demonstrate how useful it is to shoot big on the first try. This dynamic is now repeated for the security package just announced by the government.Which aggravates crimes that did not need to be aggravated, or creates them for dangers that are non-existent.However, trampling on rights, as for those who are moved by a clear contempt for the categories affected.A contempt that is reserved for enemies;not to citiz...
