Italy is expected to set up in Albania, within the spring, two centers for the reception of immigrants from the Middle East and the north of Africa who aim for its southern shores almost every day. The agreement between the two governments was signed on Monday afternoon in Rome, at the end of a meeting between Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and Prime Minister Edi Rama.

The Italian government then explained that it is not a question of immigrants arriving on its land, but of that category that is in danger while sailing at sea and is rescued by the ships of the Italian army or Guardia di Finanza that patrol the Mediterranean, or by vessels. of humanitarian organizations. Minors, pregnant women and vulnerable subjects are also excluded from this agreement.

The Italian media and part of the opposition have "crossed" this agreement. "La repubblica" writes that first such an agreement must go through parliament and secondly it violates Italian rules and international conventions. Only adult men will come to Albania.

" Only adult men will be sent to Albania. All the flaws of the agreement for immigrants with Tirana. Selective disembarkation, refusals in a third country, arbitrary detention, guarantees and rights denied.

The bilateral agreement with Albania, wherever you look at it, seems to be a legal monstrosity that violates Italian rules and international conventions, relying on a kind of extraterritoriality not foreseen by any law. An agreement which must first be ratified by the Parliament.

The agreement between Melon and Rama must be ratified in Parliament. Women, minors and fragile people will be excluded from being sent to Albania. International conventions do not foresee forms of extraterritoriality " writes "La repubblica".
