The Italian judges on Friday again rejected the Government’s request to hold asylum seekers in Albania, while their cases were processed, which dealt with another major failure by politics against the immigration policy of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.
It was the third verdict against politics since the right -wing Government of Mrs. Meloni began Execution of a plan in Octoberwhich became the leading administration. The decision of the appellant’s court in Rome rejected the Government’s request to seek asylum seekers on the coast of waiting for a practice in February by the European Union Justice Court.
The decision was related to 43 migrants taken by the Italian Navy in the Albania centers on Tuesday after intercepting them to the Mediterranean Sea.
A spokesman for the Ministry of the Interior said that after the judge’s judgment, migrants would be taken to Italy. The Italian government did not immediately respond publicly to the verdict.
In October, Italy began taking groups of migrants in Albania with the aim of being placed in Italian detention centers, while their asylum demands were accelerated. According to the program, only the “non-safety” men who come from what the government called “safe land” was to be taken to the centers. Women and minors are allowed to Italy.
The Italian government said his plan would distract the unfathomable immigrants from a dangerous trip through the Mediterranean to reach the Italian shores. But the human rights groups condemned the plan, and the Italian political opposition denied it as illegal and excessively expensive.

After two initial verdicts last year against his asylum plan, the Italian government tried to bypass the legal obstacles, including the removal of objects from the jurisdiction of judges in the immigration court in Rome, which ruled against initial transfers.
In October and November, the judges in Rome said that because of Recent decision According to the Court of Justice of the European Union, the transfer of migrants did not meet the criteria for custody in Albania. The home countries of these migrants – Egypt and Bangladesh – could not be considered safe, the judges said.
Migrants were then brought to Italy to be processed.
Mrs. Meloni, who made the fight against illegal immigration with a political priority, promised to work day and night to execute asylum transfers and to bypass the judges of the Italian courts.
So Has re -launched the program Before the case could have been heard by the European Court of Justice, and its government compiled a new list of countries he considered safe.
Now the EU Justice Court was to listen to the case. Among the issues, the Italian judges asked the court to clarify: Who determines what is a safe country?
