“The unacceptability of the things seen in the journalistic investigation by Fanpage was also affirmed by Giorgia Meloni and will be sanctioned with removals from the FdI youth party. But the anti-Semitism that also translates into actions that can jeopardize security and public order was not highlighted by that youth group but by many others who in our squares and universities burned the flags of Israel, the attacks on the Jewish Brigade on April 25, much more dangerous things that were not carried out by that youth group”. This was stated by the Minister of the Interior Matteo Piantedosi to SkyTg24.
“Certain forms of anti-Semitic complacency – Piantedosi observed – masked by allegedly anti-Zionist discussions and mannered protests against the Israeli government that in reality conceal real prejudices against the national and international Jewish community would certainly deserve an agreement between all political forces to make a critical analysis within themselves and to distance not only gestures condemned by history but also paramilitary-type actions carried out in our squares during public demonstrations”.
As for the methods used in the journalistic investigation and criticized by the prime minister, for the minister “she wanted to say that they are unacceptable when they are unidirectional, always aimed at one side only. She wanted to say that if these methods were used in many associations, social centers, youth associations of other parties we would see some beautiful things”.
The Minister of the Interior also spoke on the issue of migrants: “The expected costs of the project with Albania on migrants are 800 million over 5 years, but let’s take into account that we have a management of reception on the national territory that is 1.7 billion euros per year and that is based above all on benefits granted to people who then, at the end of the process of requesting international protection, turn out not to be recipients of the benefits. If it works, the Albanian project will be an investment destined to recover costs. The real challenge is the deterrent effect that should reduce irregular entries”.
“The choice of people to be transferred to Albania – Piantedosi informed – will take place on a ‘place of safety’ that will be placed on an Italian government ship, where people who meet the characteristics set out in the agreement that exclude, for example, vulnerable people will be selected. Now the maximum capacity is 900 people. The procedures will have to be completed in 4 weeks at the end of which there will be the possibility of either expulsion or returning to Italy”.
