Almost all the landings in July and August were made through small boats, inflatable boats and small boats, this time the NGOs have nothing to do with it. And the Home Office certainly cannot think of sinking them to protect our borders. So the best strategy to contain them is to avoid letting them out, making agreements with the countries of departure, Tunisia in the first place. Also, because building walls is useless, they will never be high enough to protect us. This in synthesis is the thought of the Interior Minister Luciana Lamorgese explained to the audience of the Ambrosetti Forum.
“We always talk about blocking landings … They don’t have to go. There have always been small boats and barges. One of the accusations is that we have not blocked them. I don’t think it can block and sink ships, certainly there is a job to do and it is in the country of origin. This is the commitment with Tunisia and the EU ”, he said in Cernobbio. Exonerating the NGOs of all responsibility, which have always been in the crosshairs of the sovereign right of Salvini and Meloni: “There is never a distinction between small boats and NGOs. All the numbers we have today are the numbers, those for July, of 7,000 arrivals, almost all in small boats. The only NGO that landed brought 350 migrants last week, ”he stressed in reference to Sea Watch 4.
The minister then explained his idea of how he intends to protect Italy. “Security is pursued by tenaciously building, day after day, solid networks based on the exchange of objectives and interests, certainly not by erecting walls that will never be high enough to protect us.”
“Security – said the minister – is one of the most divisive arguments in our country where, often harshly, different visions are confronted, sometimes radically opposite, many times vitiated by forms of ideological prejudices that inevitably tend to drag the fear political agon, depriving it, instead, of what is, in my opinion, its primary substance: to be something that has to do with the freedom of citizens, as individuals, and with the freedom of the State, of its institutions. And, therefore, an essential, fundamental public good, which certainly should not be abandoned to the emotional record of the nation and its changing contingencies ”.
“Security – continued the head of the Ministry of the Interior – shares the concept of freedom with the fact that it can be interpreted in a positive and negative sense. As, in fact, freedom can be freedom “from” and freedom “for”, security can also experience a positive and inclusive relational dimension, together with a purely defensive closed vision, dominated only by instincts of self-protection “.
“The security achieved by our country – he stressed – is based on the deeply democratic idea that a demiurge is not enough to guarantee it and that its construction, on the contrary, requires a collective effort, based on a horizontal and polycentric dimension, in a concept aimed at enhancing the different specialized competences and at the same time recognizing the different roles and responsibilities in a collaborative and never antagonistic way ”.
