Another stop to Giorgia Meloni’s ‘Albania experiment’. The judges of the Court of Rome have suspended the ruling on the validation of the detention of the seven immigrants transported from Italy to Albania on the Libra ship, so They must return to the country from which they left.
Since the arrests ordered by the Rome Police Commissioner had not been validated within the 48-hour period stipulated by law, citizens of Egyptian and Bengali origin traveling to Albania they must be releasedaccording to the Italian media. Since they cannot remain in the Balkan country, as provided for in the protocol signed by Meloni and Edi Rama, they will have to return to Italy.
In light of the new ‘Safe Countries’ decree approved by the Government, the judges have asked an opinion to the Court of Justice of the European Communities.
On October 18, the judges of the specialized immigration section of the Court of Rome They did not validate the arrestsissued by the Rome Police Headquarters, of the first migrants transferred to the Gjader detention center for repatriation. This order was later challenged by the Viminale before the Court of Cassation.
After the first setback, a decree law has been approved with the aim of “shielding” central Albania from the retention of irregular immigrants. The Council of Ministers gave the green light to the new rules, including the modification of the list of “safe countries”.
This list – which will be periodically updated – includes 19 countriesamong them, Egypt, Tunisia, Pakistan and Bangladesh – territories where most of the shipwrecked people rescued in the Mediterranean come from.
