Italy: Migrants rescued from rough seas off Lampedusa<\/h3>\n

With thousands of migrants arriving daily on Italy’s shores, the country’s leaders are appealing to the European Union for assistance in handling the situation.<\/p>\n

Over the weekend, Adolfo Urso, the Minister of Enterprise and Made in Italy, visited a reception centre in Lampedusa, an Italian island near North Africa where many migrants arrive by sea. He also inspected the dock where Coast Guard and Guardia di Finanza vessels unload rescued migrants. The scene was cluttered with fuel canisters, clothes, boats, and blankets.<\/p>\n

Lampedusa is already strained, hosting nearly 5,000 migrants, and officials say it can’t take more.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

From January to August, around 107,530 migrants, mainly from Tunisia but also from India, Malaysia, and Sudan, have reached Italy. Most of these boats come from Tunisia’s Sfax and Libya.<\/p>\n

Plans are being made to move migrants to reception centres in northern Italy, but even those are struggling to cope, with regional leaders complaining about limited resources.<\/p>\n

In a note sent to Express.co.uk, Lega MEP Paolo Borchia blamed the EU and called for urgent help from Brussels.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cThe European Union continues to make fun of our country. It says it is aware and concerned about the increase in arrivals in Italy but limits itself to moving migrants from one place to another always in our territories. Nice courage to claim they help us in this real emergency. The truth is that Europe is simply transferring foreigners by plane from the island of Lampedusa to other locations in Italy.<\/p>\n

“Enough with this hypocrisy. The Commission continues to leave Italy alone while, thanks to the League in government, from September with the new Security decree – already announced by the Undersecretary of the Interior Nicola Molteni – there will be a crackdown on the expulsions of illegal immigrants. We will therefore intervene on the basis of the Salvini decrees thanks to which in September 2019 the landings were less than 5,000.”<\/p>\n

Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s government, backed by right-wing parties including Lega and Forza Italia, is grappling with the challenge of irregular immigration. Meloni recently returned from a break and important government meetings are set for September.<\/p>\n

Ministers are preparing to discuss a decree that could allow 450,000 legal foreigners to enter Italy, alongside the existing irregular migrants. They will also talk about a security decree to make it easier to deport irregular migrants and verify the age of those claiming to be minors.<\/p>\n
