Judges of the Civil Court of Rome They suspended the detention of a second group of seven migrants sent to Albania, and will be returned to the transalpine country. They should arrive Monday night. This is the second opportunity in which Justice defeats Meloni’s xenophobic policies and his centers of shame.
The migrants – all from Egypt and Bangladesh – are expected to be transferred by the Italian coast guard to the port in the southern Italian city of Brindisi, the sources said. From there they will be sent to reception centers for migrants in the region, where they should present an appeal against the rejection of their asylum request which they received from the Italian authorities in Albania, specifies the local press.
This all seems to follow a similar scenario to the first case which occurred less than a month ago. Thus, the detention centers that the far-right executive Meloni opened in Albania as part of his migration outsourcing pact with Tirana They will be empty again.
This already happened in October with a first group of migrants sent to this Balkan country, as part of the first implementation of the controversial plan. This era was the first when the The Rome court intervened to invalidate the arrestsstating that there is a previous judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) on the matter which has created a legal precedent.
The CJEU judgment alleged that Countries like Egypt and Bangladesh cannot be considered entirely safe.and in response to this, Italian justice assured that migrants from these countries could not be detained in Albania and had to carry out the procedure in Italy. After this, the Meloni government reacted protect by decree the list of safe countriesnow Egypt and Bangladesh, with the aim of facilitating the expulsion of the numerous immigrants from these countries who arrive via the Mediterranean.
However, this has generated friction between the judiciary and the government, which tried again last week to send migrants to Albania despite judicial reservations. In fact, in its new judgment, the Court of Rome has taken a new step: urgently referred the matter to the CJEU and he is asked to determine which jurisdiction prevails. After this, it is expected that the Italian Interior Ministry appears before the CJEU to present their reasons and defend the transfer and retention of migrants to Albania.
