writes Repubblica.it that the ship has been anchoring since dawn in the Cala Francese area, a few hundred meters from the port of Lampedusa.
Personnel of the Harbor Master's Office, the Guardia di Finanza and the doctors of Cisom have gone up for an inspection on board of the Catalan NGO boat that has been directed towards the island of the Pelagie, escorted by two military ships, after that the TAR of Lazio has accepted his appeal, suspending the ban on entry into Italian waters ordered by Salvini. The Astral sailing ship, the support ship of Open Arms, arrived on the island.
For the landing of the Spanish #Open #Arms the interior minister Salvini signed a new ban on entry into Italian waters last night despite the decision by the TAR, reiterating his 'no' to the landing of migrants, but Minister Trenta did not countersign the decision.
Thus in a statement the #Trenta motivated its decision to go to the clash with #Salvini: "Politics can never lose humanity. That's why I didn't sign. NIt cannot be assumed that new cogent reasons of a general nature or public order and security can be found that exceed the elements of law and of fact, as well as the reasons of necessity and urgency, placed at the base of the precautionary measure"Of the Tar of Lazio.
The Trenta refers in particular to the "existence offumus boni iuris'(the presumption of sufficient conditions to allow entry to the ship in Italian waters, ed) ispericulum in mora"(the possible damage caused by a delay in the adoption of the provision, editor's note) that indeed are probably aggravated".
"In this context", stresses Trenta, "failure to adhere to the decision of the administrative judge could even configure the violation of criminal laws, without prejudice, in any case, that adheres to thedictum iuris"it would have been necessary to insert an explicit willingness to provide assistance to those most in need".
"I made this decision, motivated by solid legal reasons, listening to my conscience", Concluded the minister,"we must never forget that behind the controversy of these days there are children and young people who have suffered violence and abuse of any kind".
The provision was not even signed by the Minister of Transport #Toninelli who on the fb profile said: “I had already signed the Salvini decree, which prohibited the entry, transit and parking of the Open Arms in Italian waters.
I had signed, again this time, to reiterate that those who do not respect the law of the sea cannot land in Italy. That decree was rejected by the TAR and issued another identical one, to have it rejected again by the TAR after 5 minutes, it would expose the serious part of the Government, which is not the one that betrayed the contract, to ridicule. And unlike Salvini, which seeks only easy consent, we act with a sense of State and concreteness.
This does not mean that we must welcome all the Open Arms migrants. Mine, ours, line does not change: we secure the ship as judges ask us; then Europe, and above all Spain whose flag flies on the Open Arms, begin to assume their responsibilities by taking on the responsibility of welcoming 116 migrants who are on board the ship. We as Italy intervene to protect the health of the 31 minors on board, who are in danger, as requested by the President of the Council and as required by law, which rightly always requires the protection of minors and their protection. "
"We are alone against everyone on the #OpenArms ban on landing. Against NGOs, courts, Europe and frightened ministers. And with the PD to the government, mass immigration and Ius Soli would return to reality", Tweeted Matteo Salvini.
The Minister of Defense had already ordered the ships of the Navy yesterday to escort the Spanish boat to our country ”. So Salvini commented: "Humanity does not mean helping traffickers and NGOs but investing seriously in Africa and certainly not opening up Italian ports ”.
Appeal to the State Council
According to the Interior Ministry, the Tar ordinance - which refers only to the first aid carried out by the Open Arrms of a dinghy in difficulty - would have been overcome by the fact that the ship remained a couple of days in the Libyan and Maltese SAR area, carrying out two other rescues is "it then headed north with the deliberate political intent to lead immigrants to Italy".
The Trenta ministry could, therefore, order the transfer of the 32 minors present on the Open Arms to military patrol boats and take them ashore as requested by the Palermo juvenile court.
