After the decision of the Court of Rome, the Visalli ship arrived in the port of Brindisi carrying the seven migrants, of Bangladeshi and Egyptian origin, who had been in the center of Gjdaer, Albania since last Friday. The docking took place around half past midnight. The seven migrants were accompanied to a facility for asylum seekers.
A comment by Elon Musk on
“Italy and Europe do not take democracy lessons from anyone, much less from Elon Musk, whose sole aim is to undermine our fundamental values, the rule of law, the most basic principles of our democracies, starting from independence of the judiciary. All things evidently unknown to Musk. Go and build his regimes in space”, replied Sandro Gozi, MEP for Renew Europe and general secretary of the European Democratic Party, on social media.
“Elon Musk’s words against the Italian judges are dangerous words. These new oligarchies exploit new worlds (such as space, the ether, social media and new technologies) to control world politics are a danger for democracy. After a incursion into German politics today the jurist Elon Musk enters in a violent way criticizing a state power. All this is unacceptable but above all dangerous”. Thus the lay councilor of the CSM Ernesto Carbone.
La Russa: Let the European Court decide on the Albania case
“I believe that it is a very controversial topic today and I believe that in the end a decisive word must arrive, there has been an appeal to the European Court and that may be the right place to define what in my opinion is a problem that would have been better if it hadn’t arisen, but since it has arisen we have to define it in some way.” The president of the Senate Ignazio La Russa explained this on the sidelines of an event at the Palace of Justice in Milan, responding to a question from reporters on the judges’ new stop on the detention of migrants in Albania.

Judges: The EU establishes safe countries
”It must be highlighted that the criteria for designating a State as Safe country of origin are established by European Union law. Therefore, without prejudice to the prerogatives of the national legislator, the judge has the duty to always and concretely verify, as in any other sector of the legal system, the correct application of Union law, which, notoriously, prevails over national law where incompatible with it, as also provided for by the Italian Constitution”. This is what he writes Luciana Sangiovannipresident of the Section for Personal Rights and Immigration of the Civil Court of Rome, in a note after the suspension decided by the judges of the detention of the seven migrants.
The suspension of proceedings, however, “does not stop the legal deadline from running forty-eight hours of effectiveness of the detentions ordered by the Police Headquarters”, therefore the migrants will return to Italy. An eighth migrant, also an asylum seeker and found to be vulnerable, had already been ordered to return to Italy.
Last October 18, the judges of the specialized immigration section of the Rome court had not validated the detentions issued by the Rome police station for the first migrants who had been brought to the detention center for the repatriation of Gjader. Order which was then challenged by the Interior Ministry in Cassation.
Tajani: some magistrates want to impose the government’s line
“In a democracy there is a tripartite division of powers. When one of these powers oversteps its borders it puts democracy in difficulty. There are some magistrates who are trying to impose their political line on the government. This is not acceptable. I respect all the decisions of the judiciary, I do not engage in controversy and I do not offend anyone, I only say that it is a choice that goes against the tripartite division of powers. It is not a magistrate who decides which country is safe because he doesn’t know. Because he doesn’t deal with these things. If the government that has the tools to do so says that a country is safe, then something is not working.” Thus the vice-president of the Council Antonio Tajani, commenting on the suspension decision.
Salvini: another political ruling, not against the government but against Italians
“Another political sentence not against the government, but against Italians and their security. Government and Parliament have the right to react to protect citizens, and they will do so. Provided that some other magistrate, in the meantime, does not condemn me to six years in prison for defending the borders…”. The deputy prime minister and minister of transport writes it on Matteo Salvini.
The Interior Ministry will appear before the EU Court of Justice
According to what we understand, the Interior Ministry will appear before the European Court of Justice to support its reasons after the decisions of the judges of the Court of Rome to suspend the validation of the detention of the 7 migrants.
