Wanda Ferro (Internal Undersecretary) with Giorgia Meloni
“The government is working on a dual intervention, regulatory and administrative, to modify the operational features that have allowed these distortions, in compliance with the inspiring principle of the Bossi-Fini law”
“The determination of Giorgia Meloni and the government in combating illegal immigration has made it possible to bring to light a criminal mechanism that has allowed thousands of illegal immigrants to enter the national territory through the submission of false job applications.” She states it ad Affaritaliani.it the Undersecretary of the Interior Wanda Ferro (FdI).
“Thanks to the technical table wanted by the presidency of Cabinet to monitor the application of the decrees on regular entry flows into Italy for work reasons in 2022 and 2023, alarming data emerged, not only because in some territories the number of requests is abnormal compared to the absorption capacity of the local productive fabric, but also because in almost all Italian regions there is a significant gap between those who enter for work purposes and those who actually sign an employment contract: just think that in Campaniaa region for which 157 thousand applications for seasonal work in the agricultural or tourism sector were received in 2023, less than 3 percent of those who obtain the visa actually sign an employment contract”.
“The flows for regular entry into Italy for work reasons – explains Undersecretary Ferro – have been used as a further channel of irregular immigration, probably upon payment of large sums of money. It is incredible that a phenomenon of this magnitude, behind which the interests of the organized crime, had not been discovered or reported to date. President Meloni did well to present a complaint to the national anti-mafia prosecutor, who, having functions of impetus and coordination of investigations, will be able to activate the competent district prosecutors’ offices in the various territories”.
“The government is working on a dual intervention, regulatory and administrative, to modify the operational features that have allowed these distortions, in compliance with the inspiring principle of the law Bossi-Fini, that is, to allow entry into Italy only to those who hold an employment contract. The discussion with trade associations and companies will be fundamental, as they do not always find confirmation of the manpower needs in the job applications presented in the click dayalso with reference to any monitoring and preliminary control systems for applications”.
“Furthermore – concludes Undersecretary Ferro – we must therefore intervene on the definition of manpower needs, on the verification of applications for work authorization and the click day mechanism, on the definition of quotas and on the strengthening of the special entry. The government is committed on all fronts to affirm the principle that one can only enter Italy legally, therefore without entrusting one’s life to traffickers and with the prospect of a job, a dignified welcome and a real possibility of integration”.
