Italian judges have ordered seven men detained in a migration hub in Albania to be transferred to Italy, in another blow to a controversial deal between the far-right Rome government and Tirana aimed at curbing the arrival of asylum seekers.
The men arrived at the Albanian port of Shëngjin aboard a military vessel on Friday after being rescued in international waters while trying to make their way to Europe.
The Italian government had argued that all should be returned to their “safe” home countries of Egypt and Bangladesh. One man who had originally formed part of the group was already taken to Italy after he was deemed vulnerable.
“Another political sentence, not against the government, but against Italians and their security,” said the deputy prime minister Matteo Salvini.
Under the deal, men from countries deemed “safe” and intercepted in international waters while attempting to cross from Africa to Europe are supposed to be held in Albania while their asylum claims are processed. The scheme, which excludes women, children and vulnerable individuals, could process up to 3,000 men a month.
If they keep pushing. They’ll create the conditions for the future they keep claiming to be against. Which is a massive violent backlash. That’s frankly only kept in check at the moment by Westerners preference for individual identity over wider cultural identity, and the fact we are rather deathly afraid of the potential consequences and fear of whatever will emerge on the other side won’t be the future we want or would initially intend for it to be.
But they push it to the point peoples desire to preserve themselves and their culture outweighs their reservations and fear about potential consequences. Suffice to say the bleeding hearts of the future would probably be able to make a plethora of Documentaries and Geneva would add volumes to the Conventions.
Makes you wonder, is that their end game, why do they think they will be safe from the fallout?
They seemed to show an acceptance of loosing many of their own before.
Could be they would be willing to sacrifice large numbers of their more public group members. In order to give heretofore yet unknown/hidden members/conspirators the chance to continue their work. While the anger and outrage of the larger populace calms.
Perhaps they believe the West would loose any such contest. And while they may lose many of their own. They’ll eventually come out on top.
Maybe they’re just ignorant enough to press on ahead anyway. Not seeing any way they could loose. Many of them were born into their roles. And thereby don’t possess the wisdom, intelligence, and ruthless pragmatism their forefathers used to forge the Empire they inherited. As they were never under the same stresses that forced that trait development.
Irregardless of how the details go. The end was set in stone at the beginning. They will eventually loose. The only thing subject to uncertainty is how long the Journey to get to that inevitable conclusion is.
