The repatriation of migrants from Albania to Italy is raising heated debates, with significant legal and political implications. The President of the Senate, Ignazio La Russa, recently commented on this sensitive issue, stressing the importance of a clear decision by the European Court. La Russa expressed concern about the current situation, believing that it would have been preferable not to have reached this point.
At half past midnight, the port of Brindisi welcomed the ship Visalli, which was carrying seven migrants from a reception center in Albania. This operation is the result of a decision by the Rome court that suspended the detention order, referring the matter to the European Court of Justice. The migrants, originally from Bangladesh and Egypt, were transferred to a facility for asylum seekers, where they will be able to begin the process for their applications.
The issue has also attracted international attention. Elon Musk, through a post on X, criticized the judges' decision, expressing the need for a change in the Italian judiciary. The legal position is complex: Salvatore Casciaro, secretary general of the National Association of Magistrates (ANM), has clarified that migration policies must comply with supranational regulations. According to Casciaro, judges have a duty to ensure that domestic law complies with European law. If not, they can proceed by disapplying national rules or referring the matter to the Court of Justice.
Casciaro stressed that there is a principle of primacy of European legislation on migration matters, which is fundamental to the functioning of national courts in the European Union.
The current situation is just one chapter in a broader debate on migration in Europe. As the challenges of migration flows continue to grow, it will be crucial to monitor future decisions by European and national institutions. The ability to manage these issues with balance and respect for the law will be crucial to guarantee both the rights of migrants and the security of the nations involved.
