The government born from the alliance between M5S and Pd – whose primary need is not to disappear with new elections – in the matter of immigration is all wrong. Or maybe you’re not wrong, because the agreement between Italy and Libya for the containment of migratory flows hides another, and that is the attempt to protect the energy interests of Italy in Libya?
doubt that the issue of migration is the best possible coverage for the question of energy is strong. We have talked for years of the invasion, they made us feel insecure in our homes, have declared that are not important the numbers, but the perception we have of those numbers. All of this was not done only to polarize public opinion in order to get the votes of the angry, but probably for a far more strategic, and justify the allocation of funds to be sent to Libya, perhaps to the advantage of a part.
And if the agreement on the “containment” of migration flows was also a cover for supporting Fayez al Serraj with the endorsement of Trump? It would be a way to participate in the civil war, also because the impression is that the lives of the people held illegally in concentration camps in libya is without value in the presence of the oil interests in italy.
If, on the one hand, the motivations of the agreement, the italo-libyan appear to be clear, what remains is the bitter awareness that the longer this government leaves in the sea, those who flee from the hell of the libyan, the most ferocious populist will be able to scream by electoral campaign on the skin of those desperate. In the next few days will be renewed on the agreement: it would be another 50 million euro, in addition to those already allocated by Europe in the past few years.
This agreement is commensurate with what the Germany of Angela Merkel has signed with the tyrant Erdogan for the control of the eastern borders of Europe. But which we think can be our future if we support authoritarian governments and war? The minister of Foreign affairs, Luigi Di Maio said that he convened a committee of Italian-libyan for the promotion of further involvement of the United Nations. Di Maio ignores the fact that the United Nations, having regard to the abnormal number of migrants illegally detained in Libya (650 thousand is the estimate for the defect) fail to provide aid, to create humanitarian corridors, or even to repatriate those who fled Libya does not even want to be in Europe, but return to their Country of origin. And while this happens, us is taken as proof of the alleged positive effects of the agreement, the italo-libyan decrease in the number of landings. By the more than 100-thousand arrived in Italy in 2017, rose to nearly 10,000 in 2019.
But these figures do not tell us that they are dropped arrivals to Libya from the neighboring Countries even before the arrival in Europe. And do not tell us even what happens to the thousands of people who remain in Libya and cannot leave. Don’t say it, but we know this: remain locked in detention centers where they suffer every kind of torture. Remain locked in the Country that threatens us, to let them come all in Italy and in exchange gets money. Possible that there is someone in the government that has the courage to claim this crap? But that’s not all: the presidential Council of Tripoli, has issued a decree requiring Ngos not to intervene without the permission of the libyan coast Guard, also in case of emergency. The decree also obliges Ngos to ensure access to their boats to the libyan army officers. Maybe climb aboard will be the same that opened fire while the Alan Kurd save the migrants. Or will be Abdulrahman Al Milad, said Bijas, reconfirmed at the head of the coast Guard Zawyah despite the fact that, according to the Un, is a torturer and a human trafficker.
it is Not absurd to impose on Ngos that save lives, the nth code of conduct, while no code of conduct is imposed on those who torture and kill? Two journalists, In the Excavation and Nancy Porsia, were placed under the protection of the right for having told who he was, Bija, and for having disclosed its presence in Italy in 2017, sitting at a table with officials of the Interior (Viminale there was Minniti) which was the block of the migrants. A criminal has the treaty with Italy the block of the migrants. Perhaps we could stop here and not add anything else, but the two ships are still at sea: the Alan Kurd of the Ngo Sea-Eye with 90 castaways and the Open Arms, which has 15. The migrants of the Alan Kurds have not only been subjected to torture and ill-treatment in Libya, but were rescued while the criminals of the libyan coast Guard, that we, the italians, we train and fund, the shot on him. The government, before granting respite to the desperate of the Ocean Viking, he waited to lose in the voting in Umbria.
The next elections there will be in Emilia Romagna, between too much time, while in the sea, the despair is tangible, and urgent is the need to disembark the 105 people of Alan Kurd and Open Arms, trying to act without feeling forced, and the rage from a general trend. But I believe that it is important to reassure those who think that this according to the government Count has opened the ports. Nothing at all: the ports are closed, on the contrary, open and close just like when the government there was Salvini, for mere propaganda, and convenience of the election.
On immigration, and yet all the past governments have acted in complete continuity. There is a management of immigration, inaugurated by Minniti, followed by Salvini and embraced by the according to the government Count that locates enemies for scaricargli upon the responsibility that they do not have, which creates tension and social hatred without solving any problem and that ignore what is all too clear: you cannot close the ports, you can block the migration flows; this is of epoch-making challenges that you must face with a sense of the State, with a sense of community, and with the humanity of the law. I do not feel I can ask this government for a change of course, but if his fate is sealed, that at least proves to account for the human life, because the realpolitik will not be a discriminating first to the Story.
