“Even today we have seen news reporting the government’s waste of money Melons in Albania. It is absurd to be told that there is no money for public health and to hire doctors and nurses. They have just wasted 800 million euros to create centers in Albania where they deport people and then have to bring them back while trampling on their rights: it’s not that there is no money, it’s that this government, with its evil, is making it happen throwing away their ideology instead of serving the Italians.” Elly Schlein he still attacks the executive in the management of migrants
He does so during the plenary assembly of the Democratic Paths, the programmatic conference of the Democratic Party of Abruzzo in Pescara. And he guarantees: “We will continue to denounce this now clear failure and say that this absurd waste of money is being done at the expense of citizens who, at the moment, are excluded from both public health and public schools”, continues the Dem secretary. Reiterating the waste on the part of the government: “We can no longer accept living in a country where people are freezing to death because they can no longer pay their rent while this government cancels the rent fund.”
The life of Italian agents in Albania: “Spa, sauna and travel. They pay us to be tourists”
Words that reach the height of controversy after the story reported by the Albanian TV program Piranjat, whose correspondents – as predicted by Republic – with the help of a hidden camera they reportedly interviewed some Italian police officers on duty in the migrant center in the city of Shengjin, Albania, staying in one of the hotels identified by the Ministry of the Interior to host the police. “They pay us to be tourists”, with “breakfast, dinner and sauna, all free”, because “the Italian government pays”, say the Albanian police.
The M5S, Avs, Italia viva and +Europa are also on the attack. “Even for the Italian police officers sent to Albania, the deal on migrant centers is just ‘a waste of money’. Hundreds of millions wasted to build empty centers turned into kennels – the most expensive kennels in the world – and to pay for the forced holidays of around one hundred and fifty police officers, carabinieri and financial police who, instead of being usefully employed in security in Italy, were sent to Albania where, having nothing to do, they spend their days do, Despite everything, tourists, as they themselves admit on Albanian television without knowing that they are being filmed: during the day on trips to Albanian tourist resorts, at night in the sauna and at the disco, all at the expense of the Italian taxpayer – declares the leader of the 5 Star Movement group on the House Constitutional Affairs Committees, Alfonso Colucci – It is certainly not the fault of the agents, mortified by a government that ordered them to do nothing: the fault lies with Meloni and his unsuccessful and useless propaganda project which turned out, as the police say in the Albanian television report, to be a waste of the Italian people’s money. Italians to whom Meloni should apologize.”
The leader of the Avs group in the Chamber’s Constitutional Affairs committee, Filiberto Zaratti defines the idea of building CPRs in Albania as “crazy”, “a cynical and wasteful project whose nature emerged through the test of facts”. The video that is circulating around the world right now makes our country ridiculous and it is its responsibility Giorgia Meloni and its government.” “Why? Why do we have to throw away Italians’ money like that? – asks the leader of Italia Viva, Matteo Renzi – Why leave the police forces on vacation in Albania when we would need personnel in our suburbs and in our stations? But can those who voted for Giorgia Meloni really accept such a scandal in silence?”
The secretary of +Europe, Ricardo Magouses irony to then criticize: “After the Christmas holidays, the Meloni government gave us ‘holidays in Albania’. It is not a bad film that Italians will find in cinemas, but rather a real package for Italians, who are paying more than a billion euros for this announced failure. Faced with the risk of being transformed into a Guantánamo, we breathe a sigh of relief, but all concern remains with a management of the migratory phenomenon that is as unsuccessful as it is cruel – continue the Magi – we were the first to denounce that the migrant detention centers in Albania they would soon be declared illegal and that it was an electoral operation by Meloni carried out at the expense of the poorest. The fact that the same police forces employed in Albania admit the failure of the agreements says it all. Last Wednesday, Plant yourself He responded to a question from me at the question time, saying that the operation in Albania would continue – recalls Magi – What else needs to happen for failure to be admitted and this madness to stop? From my point of view, it is absolutely necessary that, after the intervention of the courts that sanctioned its illegitimacy, the Court of Auditors also intervenes to assess whether there is serious damage to the treasury by the Meloni government towards Italian citizens”.
