Prime Minister Conte's announcement following input from Minister Salvini: Italy will not even participate in the Marrakech summit in December
Global Compact, not Italy – Italy suspends membership of the Global Compact on immigration, the pact signed by beyond 190 Countries the 19 September 2016 and renamed “New York Declaration“.
Berlin wants to send 40 thousand migrants back to Italy with charter flights. But Salvini is blocking: “Non autorizzo alcun atterraggio”. E ora si rischia la crisi diplomatica
Of Andrea Indini
La tensione è ai massimi livelli. The test of strength of Angela Merkel to send 40 thousand irregular immigrants back to Italy risks opening up an unprecedented diplomatic crisis.
Come anticipato nelle scorse ore da Republic, Berlin has already given the green light to repatriate the so-called “Dubliners” con voli charter per Roma. “How I closed the ports, adesso chiuderò anche gli aeroporti”, he blurts out Matteo Salvini promettendo che nessun nuovo immigrato, proveniente dalla Germania, metterà piede sul suolo italiano. The first flight would already be scheduled for next Tuesday and, if the German government does not back down, an irreparable rift could open between the two countries. Read More

For the first time, an Italian ship, after having rescued the immigrantsin mare, brought them back in Libya. It's about the Ace Twenty-Eight, a support vessel for an oil platform, That, in application of what has been established by the Italian government, coordinated with the Tripoli Coast Guard which is competent in those waters for the management of SAR search and rescue operations.
The boat, reports The Press, “it seems he followed the indications from the Coast Guard operations center which ordered the commander of Asso via radio from Rome 28 to coordinate with the Tripoli Coast Guard. Essentially the order was to bring those migrants back to Libya.".
“We have learned that one of the dinghies reported today by the Italian Coast Guard with 108 people on board in the Mediterranean were rescued by the ship Asso Ventotto, flying the Italian flag, which is heading towards Tripoli. We do not yet know whether this operation takes place on the recommendation of the Italian Coast Guard, but if that were the case it would be a very serious precedent, a truly collective rejection for which Italy and the ship's commander will answer before a court“, he said Nicola Fratoianni of Free and Equal, aboard the Open Arms. “International law – he adds – provides that people rescued at sea must be taken to a safe port and those in Libya, despite the mystification of reality by the Italian government, cannot be considered as such".

In an interview given to public radio, relaunched by Repubblica, the Hungarian president Viktor Orban he expressed his opinion on the new positions taken by the Italian government on the issue of immigration, saying he was ready to help Italy. L’aiuto offerto però, differently than you might think, it would not consist of hiring, from Budapest, of a share of refugees, but in an aid in expulsion procedures. Orban thus reiterates a clear line: l’unica quota accettata dall’Ungheria è la quota zero.
“I understand that the Italians have said with a free vote that they want to free themselves from the wave of migrants.” said the Fidesz leader, “if the new Italian government wants, Hungary led by me, that I was the precursor of firmness in the name of Christian Europe, is ready to provide Rome with its help and experience. Certainly not to divide migrants between various member countries of the European Union. No, we are ready to help our Italian friends expel migrants". Read More

On the side Steve Bannon in Rome
Of Giovanni Coppola
Lately Steve Bannon he is spending a lot of his time in Italy. The former strategist of Donald Trump and leading animator of the “alternative rightIn fact, Americans look at our country with great interest. In a recent interview with the German newspaper The world, Bannon explained the reason for this interest: «Rome is currently the center of world politics. What is happening here is truly something special: until now, the world has never seen a truly populist government. Until now, precisely. And I absolutely don't want to miss this great event".
Steve Bannon, effectively, he has never hidden his sympathies for Matteo Salvini's League and Luigi Di Maio's M5S, that the former director of Breitbart see how «the saviors of Italy from yet another technical government». On the contrary, just like in an interview with New York Times, also to Welt Bannon confirms that he has maintained political relationships with the two populist leaders and their staff, Furthermore, that he advised them to form an alliance to form the government: «After the elections I met Salvini and I also had contact with Di Maio. I limited myself to recommending an agreement between the two parties, then the boys did everything. But I prefer not to say anything more about this.". Read More
The numbers from the latest Itinerari Previdenziale report, created by the Alberto Brambilla study center: the healthcare costs for migrants weigh heavily
Of Claudio Cartaldo
The numbers speak clearly: i migrants I'm not a profit. Or at least they aren't the way they've always told us.
The fairy tale “they will pay our pensions“, however formally correct, in fact, it does not take into account other factors. Like medical expenses for immigrants (even irregular ones).
Let's go in order. According to the latest report from Social security itineraries, created by the Alberto Brambilla study center, it is true that the balance between contributions paid and pensions paid to migrants is positive. But we shouldn't stop there. “If you try to make an overall balance between income and expenses of the 2015 and the relative amounts for non-EU and new EU immigrants are added – we read in the report, as reported Libero – we get an estimate for contribution income which would amount to approx 9,5 billions of euros, of which the share is borne by workers is approx 2,6 billion. Tax revenues relating to salaries between 10 thousand and 12 thousand euros slightly exceed the Irpef exemption threshold, the estimated expenditure for pensions and income support benefits would be approximately 1,9 billions of euros, with a positive balance for the year of approximately 700 million euros”.

A few days ago I ended up at the station, the Milan station, all 5.30 in the morning, when “Milan is still sleeping”. I crossed the porch among a cloud of young dark-skinned men who scrutinized the people passing by.. They probably had no bad intentions, but it certainly isn't pleasant to be a single woman in that situation. Yes, I admit it, I felt afraid.
Yes, I admit it, I thought about my phone sticking out of my pocket – It is true, I have an expensive phone, they gave it to me, like practically all the valuable things I have. Yes, I admit it, I felt annoyed, because we weren't a bunch of people going to catch the train, situation in which obviously I would not have paid attention to the color of the skin. The situation was single white woman going to catch the train, dozens of black men who apparently have nothing to do and are walking around in the dark. I'm racist? Probably by Boldrini standards yes. Read More
