Migrants in Albania, the government's second attempt also starts badly: of the eight landed, one is "vulnerable" and must return to Italy

The government's second attempt to transfer migrants from countries deemed "safe" to Albania also gets off to a bad start. Of the eight asylum seekers, five Egyptians and three Bangladeshis, who landed on Friday morning at the port of Shëngjin, one has health problems that make him fall into the " vulnerable " category, to whom the accelerated procedure for the denial of international protection is not applicable.

Last month, the Capitoline robes annulled the measures relating to the first 12 asylum seekers transferred to Albania , also Egyptians and Bangladeshis, applying the principle dictated by the sentence of 4 October of the European Court of Justice , according to which - essentially - a country cannot be considered safe only in certain territorial areas or for certain categories of people, as was the case with Egypt and Bangladesh: either it is safe for everyone , or it is not safe for anyone . In response, the government transformed the list of safe countries, previously contained in an inter-ministerial decree , into law , canceling the exceptions provided for groups of people at risk in the two states. But it didn't work: the Courts blocked the application of the new rule, sending it back to the European Court of Justice to ask for an opinion on its compatibility with community law (as in Bologna) or disapplying it directly (as in Catania) on the basis of obligation that the judge has to verify the legitimacy of the country's designation as safe.
