The european Parliament rejects with only two votes, 300 no against 298 yes, a resolution that provides for open ports in the Mediterranean to the Ngos that make search and rescue operations of migrants. The vote has immediate effect in the Italian political life, because ” no ” is the past thanks to the abstention of the Five Star Movement, while the Pd voted in favour of it. With the immediate controversy to Rome, where the glad, Matteo Salvini, Brothers of Italy and Forza Italia. “As we said, in Europe, the 5 Star Movement is, and remains, the needle of the balance. On the topic of immigration, words are not enough. Italy may not take the load alone, a problem that affects the whole of the Eu,” said Luigi Di Maio.
The resolution before the signing of Juan Fernando Lopez Aguilar, (on behalf of the Committee on civil liberties, justice and home affairs) invited the member countries to maintain the ports open to ships of Ngos. The grillini had submitted amendments, which, however, the other groups that supported the text have not approved.
To explain the position of the Movement pentastellato is Laura Ferrara, mep 5-Star hotel, explains: “it is A missed opportunity. The resolution could transform in the strong stance that the Italy and Europe waiting for years. We presented amendments, which gave concreteness and ambition in a text otherwise vague and biased. These amendments have not found the support of the majority, hence our abstention”.
“The european Parliament”, adds the mep grillina – should give political signals are strong and clear, without loss of identity in the messages polarized that does not benefit anyone nor bring solutions to a phenomenon that waits too long to answer common european policy”.
Ferrara explained that the 5 Star Movement has tabled an amendment on the text co-signed by the M5S, Greens and S&D in the part relating to the opening of the ports in which “wanted the respect of the international laws and other applicable laws”. Contrary to the position taken by the Movement 5 Stars Loredana De Petris, chairman of the Joint group, who on Twitter wrote: “The abstention of the M5S in the Parliament, which has led to the rejection of the resolution on the Ngos for the rescue in sea, is incomprehensible, and however severe. For those who save human lives, the ports must be opened”.
Also the leader of the dem in the Senate, Andrea Marcucci says: “The abstention of the M5S is now the resolution on the migrants then rejected by the european Parliament, report a problem extremely important. I do not think that it is possible to build an alliance with a movement that has a position that is substantially very similar to Salvini on a question crucial as that of bailouts and rescue operations in the Mediterranean”.
on the contrary, rejoice in the forces of the centre-right, united in Strasbourg to say no to the measure that would constrain the member states to keep the ports open: “Thanks to the votes of the decisive Force-Italy, the european Parliament has rejected the absurd resolution on migrants equating the role of the forces of law and order to that of the non-governmental organizations in rescue operations in the Mediterranean Sea” says, in a note, Mariastella Gelmini, the parent company of Force Italy to Montecitorio. “You are not split, instead, the political parties which, in Italy, in supporting the executive Count II, he commented, the 5 Star Movement, abstained, while the meps of the democratic Party voted along with the group of Socialists and democrats in favor. What, then, is the position of the Italian government on this important and delicate issue?”.
of Course, rejoices Salvini: “Attention, every now and then from Europe good news! Slap in the face to the majority of the seats in Macron-Pd-5stars-Renzi. The doors to the european Parliament a resolution to throw open the ports to the Ngos”, tweet the leader league. “Victory in the League, and Italy: we do not forgive those who break our laws, he wants to fill us with illegal immigrants, and put at risk the lives of our financiers as done by Carola Rackete,” writes Salvini.
“The Republic will fight always in defense of the freedom of information, to its readers and to all those who have at heart the principles of democracy and civil coexistence”
