Migrants, Musumeci attacks the government: “With my ordinance, the reality would be different.” But in the center-right there are those who apologize for the insults to the Tar

The attacks of the governor of Sicily do not stop Nello musumeci to the government on the matter migrants. After the TAR agreed with the executive, suspending the order with which it wanted to expel asylum seekers from the island, Musumeci denounced the “30 landings” registered in Lampedusa in recent days. “In the Hotspot there are more than a thousand again: six hundred in just 48 hours,” reads his Facebook page. “If my ordinance had not been suspended, today we would have a very different reality. But the central government says it’s theirs there responsibility. So? Why don’t you intervene? Have you already involved Brussels? Are you organizing the relocation of immigrants to other European states? ”. The hard line of the Sicilian governor is appreciated by the secretary of the Carroccio Matteo salvini, but in the center-right the front that supports it begins to crack. Former minister Roman Saverio, leader of Cantiere Popolare in Sicily and affiliated with Forza Italia, apologized on behalf of “the majority of the voters, militants and leaders of the center-right” to the judge of the Sicilian Tar, Maria Cristina Quiligotti, “For the accusations and the abuse that you received from this political part“. Musumeci himself would have participated in the choir, who yesterday in a video broadcast by some local stations said that” according to ‘bad language’ “, Quiligotti” was Zingaretti consultant“That is” the head of the most important party in the government. “

The controversy against the administrative court erupted after the rejection of the measure approved by the governor to prevent the arrival of new asylum seekers to the island. “Respect for the judiciary and its decisions – writes Romano on Facebook – is an architrave of the Rule of law, and is also a point of reference for those who, committed to politics, have a strong institutional sense ”. According to the former minister of Berlusconi government, a center-right life, “politics will once again be authoritarian when it trusts and trusts behaviors and examples, which are much more important than a thousand words. I’m sure She will want to consider what happened as a bad day be forgotten, in the hope that relations between his institution and the Sicilian Region can once again be serene and respectful. “

Meanwhile, Musumeci continues straight and calls the Ministry of the Interior directly. “The Minister Lamorgese had said they would start the airlift since August 10: Has anyone heard of him? Rome requests a non-Italian port for the Viking ocean? In short, if you care so much about yours abilities… They should do something! ”He says, referring to the reasons the government decided to challenge the order. The governor then speaks of “deafening silence“From the Palazzo Chigi and announces that”Tuesday our working group will arrive on that island to verify the sanitary conditions of the Hotspot. And the eventual ones will be adopted consequent measures. With an investigation that has already shown that no one has planned the structural interventions for the prevention of contagion already at the end of March ”.

All the accusations have been repeated in recent days and that the Ministry of the Interior refers to the sender. In an interview with Repubblica, Lamorgese explains that “although there is a growing trend in autonomous landings Compared to 2019, the current figures do not represent an emergency: just make a comparison with 2011, the year of the Arab springs, in which some 30,000 Tunisians arrived in Italy while now 8,000 have arrived since the beginning of the year ”. The situation in Sicily continues to be problematic, but in his opinion “the difficulties are of a logistical nature linked to the measures health prophylaxis set for Covid-19 ″. The head of the Interior Ministry also vindicates the success of the missions in Tunis that took place in recent weeks. “Landings went from a total of 4226 in July to August 1976. me flights for a total of 80 repatriations per week: Since the beginning of the year 497 Tunisians have been repatriated, 261 in August alone. The Tunisian authorities, since the end of July, have prevented some 4,500 migrants from leaving by sea, also making 50 arrests among those responsible for smuggling. However, it is clear that Tunisia cannot remain alone to face this serious social and economic crisis ”.

During the interview Lamorgese also explains that “apart from the Lampedusa case, in which there is a real crowding, in Sicily large quarantine centers are used to number of migrants below capacity: transfers to other regions have been 4 thousand since the beginning of summer ”. And remember that there is no risk of contagion specifically linked to migrants. “In Lampedusa all migrants are subject to buffer: we have done more than 6500 in all Sicily. There are two to take the pressure off the hotspot for weeks. ferries used for the quarantine of migrants who, with the conclusion of the previous period of isolation, were able to embark about 850 people. In Sicily, 979 soldiers operate in support of the police forces. The Lampedusanos and Mayor Martello deserve the maximum attention of all the institutions because they are going through a really difficult situation ”.
