New decision by the Rome court not to validate the detention of migrants in Albania. And new political controversy. With a couple of differences compared to a few weeks ago. The first is that today there is an ad hoc decree law with the list of “safe countries”, which also include Egypt and Bangladesh, the countries of the migrants who we must bring back to Italy for the robes. The second is that the content of the sentence had in some way been announced by the president of the Democratic Judiciary movement Silvia Albano. And so the government attacks the judges’ decision to suspend the measures and refer the case to the European Court of Justice, which effectively paves the way for the repatriation of the 7 migrants held in the Gjader centre.
“Another political sentence not against the government, but against Italians and their security. Government and Parliament have the right to react to protect citizens, and they will do so. Provided that some other magistrate, in the meantime, does not condemn me to six years in prison for defending the borders”, thundered the deputy prime minister and leader of the League, Matteo Salvini. For Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani “there are some magistrates who are trying to impose their political line on the government. This is not acceptable”. The blue secretary underlines: “I respect all the decisions of the judiciary, I do not engage in controversy and I do not offend anyone, I only say that it is a choice that goes against the tripartite division of powers. It is not a magistrate who decides which is a safe country because he does not you know. Because it doesn’t deal with these things. The government that has the tools to do so says that a country is safe, then there is something wrong.”

Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni does not comment. But the opposition still attacks the executive. “The attacks on the judges by the two deputy prime ministers are shameful: it is the government that does not respect the separation of powers and is trying to blame its inability to manage the migration phenomenon on the magistrates”, replies from the port of Shengjin Laura Boldrini, PD deputy and president of House Standing Committee on Human Rights Around the World. The decision of the Roman court does not surprise the minority forces: “We were easy prophets: for months we have been saying that the majority of migrants deported to Albania would have been brought back to Italy. This time too we were right”, summarizes the secretary of +Europa, Riccardo Magi, who reiterates: “At this point, the government has the obligation to stop the deportations”.
“Dr. Albano, president of the Democratic Judiciary, yesterday, speaking at the political demonstration of MD, in one of her rallies, anticipated today’s sentence. I reported it yesterday, it’s not a secret. Dr. Albano said that it had been filed a report of a sentence of a single judge who would have decided on the issue of the seven immigrants. I wonder, and I also asked it with a question, how come Dr. Albano knew that there was the filing of a sentence. another judge? Did he leak the contents? Or do some magistrates form a permanent congress and exchange papers even when they write sentences that are not within their competence?”, declared the president of the Forza Italia senators, Maurizio Gasparri, speaking in the Chamber. “We are faced with very serious and subversive facts of the democratic and republican order and we say this by naming names – added Gasparri -. Doctor Albano accused Giorgia Meloni of attack it, respect government and democracy. Here we are a Capitol Hill in reverse. The magistrates are making Capitol Hill.”

**Interview with Laura Boldrini, Deputy of the Democratic Party and President of the House Standing Committee on Human Rights Around the World**
**Interviewer:** Thank you for joining us, Laura. The recent ruling by the Rome court regarding the detention of migrants in Albania has stirred considerable political controversy. What is your reaction to the court’s decision?
**Laura Boldrini:** Thank you for having me. The ruling was expected, and it reinforces the importance of respecting human rights and the rule of law. The court’s decision highlights the flawed approach of the government in dealing with migration. It is clear that they have been trying to shift responsibility onto the judiciary rather than addressing the root causes of the migration crisis.
**Interviewer:** Deputy Prime Ministers Matteo Salvini and Antonio Tajani have been quite vocal in criticizing the judges. How do you view their comments?
**Laura Boldrini:** Their comments are shameful and demonstrate a blatant disregard for the separation of powers. Attack on the judiciary not only undermines our democratic institutions but also signifies the government’s inability to manage this issue effectively. They are trying to deflect the blame for their failures onto the judges.
**Interviewer:** The government has introduced an ad hoc decree listing “safe countries,” which includes Egypt and Bangladesh. What is your stance on this classification?
**Laura Boldrini:** The determination of what constitutes a safe country should be based on objective criteria and thorough assessments, not just political expediency. The government’s unilateral declaration disregards the realities faced by migrants. Countries like Egypt and Bangladesh have serious human rights issues that can place individuals at risk. The government should be prioritizing human rights over political gain.
**Interviewer:** The opposition has consistently warned about the consequences of mass deportations. What do you believe should be done instead?
**Laura Boldrini:** It is crucial for the government to halt these deportations immediately and engage in a constructive dialogue regarding migration policies. We need a holistic approach that focuses on integration, provides safe pathways for asylum seekers, and protects human rights. Blaming the judiciary will not solve the underlying issues.
**Interviewer:** Thank you for your insights, Laura. This is a complex and evolving situation, and we appreciate your perspectives on it.
**Laura Boldrini:** Thank you for the opportunity to discuss these vital issues. It is essential that we keep human rights at the forefront of our migration policies.
