New Judicial Varapal For the immigration policies of the Italian Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni. This Friday, the EU Court of Justice (Twenty) has endorsed that Italian judges supervise the deportations of asylum applicants rescued in the Mediterranean to detention centers outside the European Union, in a sentence against the plan of the Italian executive to send migrants to Albania. Something that implies that this decision cannot be alone in the hands of the Transalpino Government.
The ruling, which was expected for today, leaves again In question Meloni’s plan to outsternize asylum requests in Albaniawhere last year the policy built a expensive structure to house rescued migrants by ships of the Italian State in the Mediterranean.
In fact, according to the TJUE judgment, the Italian Executive would have the right to dictate which country of origin of an asylum applicant is safe o nobut also the judges would have that competence and, therefore, their opinion must be taken into account. Which means, in simple words, that Meloni’s plan adds another great legal obstaclesince so far the judges have virtually blocked almost all migrants transfers to the country Balkan since Octoberthus disallowing a project whose supposed objective was also to discourage migratory flows to Italy.
Meloni, furious
In this context, the ruling has raised a Hard reaction by Meloni, who has suggested that the TJUE would be insulting in internal policies of the Italian government.
“The decision of the EU Court of Justice is surprising regarding the safe countries of the origin of illegal migrants, “said Rome in a official note sent from the presidency of the Council of Ministers. “Once again, the jurisdiction – this time Europe – claims spaces that do not correspond to it, in relation to political responsibilities“They have added.
Meloni’s plan to send migrants to centers in Albania adds like this Another obstaclesince so far the judges have blocked almost all the transfers of migrants to Balkan country Since October.
Out of legality
In another tone, humanitarian organizations have celebrated the decision of the European Court. “The EU Court of Justice disavowes the” Albania model “: the government [italiano] He has built a system outside of European legality, “he analyzed the Asyl overwhelming decisionthat radically denies the Italian government line “, has add when” the sentence hits in the heart one of the fundamental pillars of the entire system: the possibility of processing asylum requests through a accelerated procedurebased on the automatic security presumption of the country of origin. “
Along these lines, the Tai has asked the Meloni Government to take note of the ruling, that cease any initiative oriented to reactivate The Italy-Albania protocoland that redirects immigration policy to the framework of international and European law, as well as constitutional guarantees. ”
The outcome has also given wings to the criticism of the center -left opposition, which in these months has accused the Italian Executive, not only to be violating the Italian and European law, but also of being causing a great Damage to state coffers. According to a recent report by the Action Aid organization, keeping the center of Albania open would have cost about 114,000 euros a day only five days in 2024.
