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...

No about-face.The Italy-Libya Memorandum of Understanding on migrants renewed for another three years Update November 2, 2022: In the end there was no about-face.From today, Wednesday 2 November, the Memorandum of Understanding on migration between Italy and Libya will be renewed for another three years.Signed on 2 February 2017, under the Gentiloni government, article 8 provides that the Memorandum is valid for three years and is tacitly renewed upon expiry for an equivalent period, "unless notified in writing by one of the two contracting parties, at least three months before of the expiration of the validity period (November 2 this year, ed.)".First the Draghi executive and now the Meloni executive have not asked to review the agreement.Hence the automatic renewal.

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...

It's a terrible déjà vu.A new shipwreck in international waters that brings with it the usual dynamics:absurd hesitations and disputes between states which then translate into delays in rescue and rescue operations.In fact, 30 hours passed between the Alarm Phone report (a call center that reports emergencies at sea managed by the NGO Watch The Med), on the night of March 11, and the intervention of the Italian authorities, after the unavailability and silence of the Libyan and Maltese maritime authorities.The budget is dramatic:17 survivors, 30 missing in the cold sea of ​​March. 6⃣ The dramatic balance sheet on the 47 Castaways:thirty hours after the 🆘 AlarmPhone 17 survivors30 missing The elapsed time:disputes with other states(knowing from the start that Libya, Malta and Greece are historically unreliable ed.)
