The Italian ship Poundused by the Government of Giorgia Meloni to transfer immigrants to its controversial detention centers in Albania, is sailing with eight migrants to the Balkan country after the judicial setback that forced him to revoke the first transfer.

The first time Meloni implemented this strategy was the October 16, but it was unsuccessful: the ship only carried 16 immigrants from Egypt and Bangladesh and four of them had to be returned immediately to Italy for being minors or “vulnerable”.
Shortly after, the remaining 12 also had to be taken out of Albania and taken to Italy because a Court in Rome determined that neither Egypt nor Bangladesh could be considered “safe countries”, relying on a ruling from the Court of the European Union.
This marked the beginning of a tough confrontation between the Executive and Judicial powers, to which the Government reacted by protecting by law the list of “safe countries” and keeping Egypt and Bangladesh.
Given the outcry that arose the first time it was carried out, on October 16, this new operation is being carried out with the utmost discretion.
Meloni thus insists on carrying out this plan that, when it was launched, aroused great interest among its community partners, but which is being threatened by the repeated rulings of some Italian courts.
This Monday, the Court of Catania (south) – as did that of Rome – annulled the arrest of an Egyptian maintaining that Egypt is not a safe country and thus going against government law, while the Court of Bologna (north) has addressed the European justice system to assess the legitimacy of this immigration protocol.
