by Tiziana Di Giovannandrea 09 February 2020 Guest at 'Che Tempo Che Fa' on Rai 2, the Minister of the Interior Luciana Lamorgese addresses the issue of migrants stating that the security decrees must be changed even if there are some rules that can be maintained.

"I think that the safety decrees should be changed because there have been comments from the President of the Republic, but there are other aspects to be evaluated by the majority. There are rules that can serve, those can remain, but it is an overall speech that will be seen with the majority '' said the owner of the Interior Ministry.

Speaking of NGOs, Lamorgese believes that it is necessary to speak with them: "I have received them" and "in my opinion, it is always necessary to speak with those who have an activity that in any case overlaps what our competences are. When they go to collect at sea have a connection with us. " Adding: "I would like the Code of Conduct introduced by Minniti (the former owner of the Interior Ministry, ed) to be considered good and also improvable. NGOs cannot move independently, without the coordination of the competent authorities. I asked for a European code ". Furthermore, Lamorgese stressed that Italy cannot welcome everyone: "There must be greater participation also by European countries. It is true that Italy cannot welcome everyone, there must be a European policy We are having very positive relations with other States on this. "

On the flow of migrants Lamorgese then explained that the landings have increased due to the instability of Libya: "The data on the landings that lead to an increase are due to the situation of political instability in Libya. It is people who start using insecure boats, with the aim of finding a better life, the fact of risking having your children die at sea must make us think that the situation in Libya is complicated and we must work on this ".

He also stressed that a redistribution plan is needed before any landing: "After the Malta agreement of last September, today, when we have news of a ship looking for a safe harbor, we call the commission to provide for the redistribution of migrants. When the ships are near the waters we give the port already having a redistribution plan on all European countries ". "However - he clarified - we have no idea not to land them".

Lastly, a personal note : "I am honored today to hold this very important position and I put my experience, professionalism, having no retro thoughts and not having the idea of ​​having behaviors for a consent that is not part of my project" he concluded.
