Migrants Decree, the battle moves to the Senate hall

Special protection “is the tam tam that is damaging us: ‘go to Italy and we can stay there as we want’ This causes an influx higher than what we can afford. It’s an ideological tam tam». Going beyond the perimeter of his institutional role, which would require impartiality, the president of the Senate Ignazio La Russa intervenes in the debate underway at Palazzo Madama on the Cutro decree, contributing to the attempt by the majority to considerably reduce, if not completely cancel, the form of protection reintroduced by the Conte 2 government.

La Russa speaks from Milan just as in the constitutional affairs commission of Palazzo Madama the vote on the amendments to the text is proceeding slowly, so much so that almost certainly today the provision – with which the League hopes to reintroduce the security decrees – will arrive in the Senate hall without a rapporteur and with a majority and oppositions that will resubmit all the amendments, in addition to the two maxi-amendments by the government which provide for the strengthening of the hotspots, the management of Lampedusa by the Red Cross, and new procedures for protection and expulsions. “There will be at least 400-500 votes,” Commission President Alberto Balboni (FdI) explained yesterday.

Migrants without special protection, the reverse of the Meloni government

So everything will be played out in the classroom. The government and the majority are in a hurry to conclude given that the decree expires on May 9 and has yet to pass the examination of the Chamber first and that of the Quirinale subsequently. Brothers of Italy, Forza Italia and Lega are however convinced that no rejection or other findings will come from the Colle, after those already made by President Mattarella to Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni after the Cutro massacre. The focus is once again on the special protection that everyone on the right, from the prime minister down, declares that they want to abolish or in any case reduce. The sub-amendment presented last Friday by the three majority parties also goes in this direction, thus denying possible divisions. This afternoon, when the decree arrives in the classroom, the League will still propose many of the 21 amendments already presented in the Constitutional Affairs commission. This was confirmed by the group leader Massimiliano Romeo himself, explaining how, in addition to special protection, the Carroccio also aims to intervene on other issues, such as those “concerning the return of those who have the right to asylum because they flee a country that is at war and then summer returns there – said Romeo -. Then there is the theme of the Cpr. There are so many issues that need to be addressed. We will hear from the government: if he gives us a contrary opinion, we will evaluate ».

Meanwhile yesterday during a river marathon which began in the morning and continued until nightfall, the oppositions illustrated in the commission about thirty of the more than 300 amendments presented. “We will continue to explain why they are amendments that we believe improve this decree, as we are convinced that if it is not rewritten in a substantial way it will produce a single effect: to increase the number of those who are irregular”, explained the senator dem Andrea in the afternoon Georges.

Italy and migrants will also be discussed this afternoon in the European Parliament. Indeed, the Strasbourg plenary accepted the request presented by the S&D, Greens and Left groups for a debate entitled “Statements by the Council and the Commission on the need for European solidarity and to save lives in the Mediterranean, especially in Italy”. A similar request presented by the EPP was rejected because it did not mention “saving human lives”. “Concrete measures of solidarity towards Italy by the other EU countries are needed on migration”, EPP group leader Manfred Weber said yesterday in an interview, also asking that the EU finance the construction of walls on its external borders.
