Although Germany has isolated its borders, boats full of migrants continue to disembark on Italian soil. Giorgia Meloni vented on social media profiles in this regard, arguing that the fight against illegal immigration is complicated if states that should be allies “instead work in the diametrically opposite direction”. The reference is clear, the Prime Minister feels abandoned by Europe, “and even by a part of Italy” in the face of the Catania sentence, on a crucial front for which he has always fought to “defend the legality and borders of the Italian State” . “. Alessandro Sallusti also spoke out on the subject, specifying during the Omnibus episode that the reception system is treated as a “business”.
Here are the words spoken by the director of Il Giornale on the La7 broadcast, in relation to Olaf Scholz’s behavior: “Meloni says, dear gentlemen, you want to do the deal, so do it. You want to go around the Mediterranean in private ships to save people, obviously for a fee. Do it. But then – adds presenter Alessandra Sardoni – when you save people, take them to Germany, because you have to leave them in Italy”. What is Sallusti talking about? Of the seven German-funded NGO ships plying the Mediterranean and undermining the European agreement on the crisis management regulation.
Sallusti insists on the problem of business hospitality, bringing to light the legal case of the former mayor of Riace Mimmo Lucano, sentenced in the first instance to 13 years in prison by the Court of Locri for having created a type of criminal association that “exploited the system of reception” in the Ionian city. “There is an investigation in Italy that will go to appeal within a few days – says the director – and it is that of Mimmo Lucano who is accused of having created a hotel business in Riace. As it was illegal, he received 13 years in prison.” He then reveals the background of an interception between Lucano and a judge friend of his, leader of the Democratic Judiciary, a left-wing movement: “The judge tells him not to worry, because we of the Democratic Judiciary, we were not born to apply laws, but to do social justice. So do you understand that something is not working?” This is probably the part of Italy from which Giorgia Meloni distances herself.
