30 July 2020 For the fifth time, tonight, representatives of the majority will try to take stock with the Minister of the Interior, Luciana Lamorgese on the reform of the safety decrees signed by Matteo Salvini, as requested by President Mattarella over a year ago. 

Pd and M5s still can't find the square: "So far we have not managed to get the results we wanted" says the leader of the Pd Nicola Zingaretti while the Foreign Minister Luigi di Maio attacks Europe. "I ask the EU to give an answer: in a phase in which there is a very high health risk, we expect redistribution to restart immediately". The conditions to arrive immediately at a new measure are not there, it will be discussed again in September, after the regional elections and after the flow of migrants who has recently brought the Lampedusa reception system to its knees . 

The hotspot is collapsing: compared to 95 places available and despite the transfer of 410 migrants to Sicily, there are still hundreds of them and another 150 have been left on the Favarolo pier. "The moment is indeed difficult - admits Minister of the Interior Luciana Lamorgese - These continuous arrivals are unacceptable, we are doing everything possible". The Interior Ministry speaks of an "unprecedented context" due to the coronavirus and the consequent economic crisis that has hit not only the countries of North Africa, fueling "an exceptional flow of economic migrants" that tries to reach the EU. 

To try to lighten the situation, the Interior Ministry has also started the reclamation of a military area where "housing shelters intended for the period of fiduciary isolation of migrants" should be carried out. The most immediate solution remains that of the ship for the quarantine of migrants. Indeed ships, because the goal is to have "at least two units" for a total of 1,200 seats. "By the end of the week the ship will arrive so as not to create more" inconvenience to the communities "assures Lamorgese. After 3 races gone deserted, in fact, 5 expressions of interest for the 4.8 million call have arrived and the race will be awarded within Friday.
