University

It had been postponed to a later date, due to the protests of League e Casapound, il conference on LGBTI refugees organized at the University of Verona il 25 last May, Instead, to surprise, was rescheduled for yesterday, 21 September.
The seminar entitled “Asylum seekers. Gender identity and sexual orientation” will be introduced by the rector of the University Nicola Sartor That, initially, had suspended the event because, as he explained in his statement, «it had left the scientific field to become a terrain of conflict and above all of the search for visibility for various activists of various backgrounds».
But evidently he's back there now, in the scientific field.
The Magnificent rector must have had second thoughts (perhaps frightened by the subsequent wave of controversy in the LGBTQIA world(…)?) so much so that it mobilized the University, in which the courses for the new academic year have not yet started, specifically for the initiative in question which will take place over the course of an entire day.
Apparently, the topic of LGBTI migrants seems to have suddenly become an important topic of study because it is considered the mirror of what, according to some, would be a real “emergency”which our country would be promptly facing.
To understand what it is all about, just take a look at the national website Arcigay which refers to a project tailor-made for presumed LGBTQIA migrants(…) named “Migranet” which provides for the establishment of counters, many of which are already active in various Italian cities (among which stands out the Omphalos with its branches in Perugia and Migrants will in Emilia Romagna) «thanks to which it is possible to accompany numerous LGBTI migrants in the asylum application procedures, often with positive results". Translated from the idiom of “political correctness”, the project aims to guarantee the status of “refugee” (with which you cannot be rejected by the host country) to immigrants who declare themselves homosexuals who are persecuted in their country of origin.

But how did the issue of LGBTQIA migrants arise?(…) even equated with "refugees"?

First of all, according to the UN Geneva Convention of 1951, can get it status as a refugee anyone who has «justified fear» of being persecuted for «racial reasons, religion, citizenship, belonging to a particular social group or political opinion». Then, a EU Qualifications Directive of the 13 December 2011, falls within the concept of "social group". also sexual orientation.
In reality, the issue is anything but simple as it raises a series of legitimate doubts and questions: first of all how it is possible to verify the sexual orientation of the asylum seeker and his personal history.In fact, in many cases proof of a gay relationship is asked for without this being provided. In short, the "verification" is based almost exclusively on the asylum seeker's story.
A rather dubious example of "aspiring refugees" is that of those who declare themselves persecuted in Gambia where homosexuality is punished with prison, but whose political situation, actually, is going through a moment of important change due to the escape of the dictator Yahia Jammeh. Despite this, statements from migrants who say they are fleeing from Gambia continue to proliferate, essentially, and a regime that no longer exists.
In short, a boom in “outings” and in enrollmentsArcigay is the one to, keep case, we witness lately and that would have justified, according to the president Arcigay Modena Alberto Bignardi and the national contact person Arcigay for Immigration, Giorgio Dell'Amico, making it available, together with Caleidos Cooperative, Of an entire palacein via delle Costellazioni in Modena, for homosexual and transgender immigrants.
All this was possible, needless to say, thanks to public funding, as he stated in dismay Libero the group leader of Forza Italia in the Northern Area, Antonio Platis, who underlined how the extension of the management contract of 1.051 migrants subscribed by the Prefecture of Modena for the months of January and February alone is equal to 2.020.000 euro and the successful company would be exactly there Caleidos Onlus Social Cooperative.
For his part, Arcigay, is carrying out “Migranet” with a budget, reported on its website, Of 74.430 euro, for the 2018 and with funding coming from Unar coffers.
In short, public money that finances what cannot exactly be defined as an "emergency" if we think that only the 2 % of asylum seekers are recognized as homosexuals persecuted in their country of origin.
These figures are so small that they make it difficult to justify even an initiative like that of the University of Verona which, in the event of 21 September, boasts among the speakers, Baldassarre Pastore, dean of the Faculty of Law of Ferrara who, In the 2015 obtained from the Ministry of Education 601.604 euro By (Research projects of national interest) for studies concerning topics such as disability and social inclusion of which 121.313 belonged to Pastore, while the difference was distributed among the universities of Naples, Salerno Enna, Firenze, Bologna, Milano, Padova, Modena, Reggio Emilia and Verona.
That of the University of Verona will be, In short, a long round table dedicated to a topic that does not even concern immigration in general but rather a "niche" migratory phenomenon which in fact is only turning into a convenient ploy on the part of those who have glimpsed an easy and undemanding way to enter our country and take advantage of some, not small, privileges e, for the red Coops, in a real Eldorado.
