The Court of Rome struck down the Rama-Meloni pact again, Euractiv: It could

The Court of Rome annulled the Rama-Meloni pact again, deciding to urgently return to Italy the 7 immigrants from the Gjadri camp who arrived a few days ago, writes Euractiv . 

Asylum seekers originally from Egypt and Bangladesh were moved from Italy to the Albanian center on Friday.  

While the same judges had previously blocked the detentions, deeming the applicants' countries of origin unsafe based on a ruling by the EU's Court of Justice on October 4, this time, they suspended proceedings and returned the government's revised decree for the 'safe place' in the same court.

"The criteria for defining a country as 'safe' are determined by EU law. Therefore, judges must always verify - as in any legal sector - the proper application of EU law, which takes precedence over national law when it is incompatible, as the Italian Constitution also provides," said a statement explaining the decision. of the court, which is likely to further escalate tensions between the government and the judiciary.

With the ruling, the Rome court confirms that the government's hastily revised 'safe havens' decree, issued between the first and second migrant transfers to avoid further legal hurdles, cannot yet circumvent EU law- which requires that for a country to be considered 'safe', security must be guaranteed throughout its territory.

In recent days, courts in Bologna, Palermo and Rome have already submitted related questions to the Court of Justice of the EU.

Monday's decision also marks another delay in Albania's outsourcing project, which opposition leaders say is costing the state millions by leaving centers empty for more than a month.

According to the national tender, the two Albanian reception centers will cost 653 million euros over five years.

"Another politically motivated decision, not aimed at the government, but at Italians and their security," said Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini, criticizing the court's decision.

"And now the seven too. The incompetence, the waste and the futility are truly unbelievable," said Democratic Party senator Filippo Sensi on social media.
