07 September 2020 "Immigration policies must be done by the individual country, but they must have a European framework. There is no doubt about this".

The Minister of the Interior, Luciana Lamorgese, said at the Feast of Unity in Modena.

In July 7 thousand small boats arrived


"The problem is that of autonomous small boats that cannot be stopped, we have had many, especially from Tunisia to Lampedusa, the month of July brought a peak, just under 7 thousand arrived in a month" explained the minister.

When the situation became evident, we intervened with an emergency procedure and in the summer period. Delays there were none, if anything they were from Tunisia, because the government was about to fall, then it fell, now it has been rebuilt ". 



Speaking of Tunisia, Lamorgese explained that "it is a safe country, this means that when you then go to the territorial commissions for the asylum application it will not be accepted. So it is useless to put yourself in the hands of organized crime for a trip that can go wrong. ".

We have passed a terrible period, we are seeing the end of the tunnel, but it depends on our sense of responsibility. Coming back to crash again would be very painful for each of us, it would hardly be accepted "for this reason it is "better to be responsible".

"Even if there were no rules to say what they must do - he added - as a precaution for me and for others, thinking also of our loved ones, I do it my own, everyone should be responsible for himself".



Now the confiscated assets agency can work
