The League evaluates a new decree on NGOs. The challenge of Geo Barents

On Wednesday, the plastic demonstration of how the League has badly tolerated the approval of the CDM by an NGO decree that Matteo Salvini considers too watered down. The electoral promise to restore the Security decrees had regained force on Tuesday. In examining the document in committee in the Chamber, the Northern League had presented 16 amendments, which attempted to give a more markedly “Salvinian” imprint to the provision. Among the proposed measures was the limitation of renewals of residence permits, the strengthening of the repatriation centres, the abolition of special protection, the strengthening of the (bankruptcy) extraordinary reception centers to the detriment of the widespread one, the adoption more stringent measures for family reunification. A “Tris” security decree, in short, proposed under the radar. Attempt failed on Wednesday due to the friendly fire of Forza Italia and Fratelli d’Italia. In the joint meeting of the I and IX commissions of the Chamber – Constitutional Affairs and Transport – the presidents Nazario Pagano (FI) and Salvatore Deidda (FdI) judged the amendments of the Northern League allies inadmissible because they did not pertain to the object of the decree. Igor Iezzi, Carroccio group leader in the Constitutional Affairs commission, said he was “astonished” because “the citizens voted for the centre-right to stop the immigration business”. Among the enraged is given in particular Nicola Molteni, undersecretary of the Interior, putative father of the first Security decrees and man of Salvini at the Interior Ministry. So much so that Molteni himself and his other party colleagues are now evaluating the hypothesis of proposing a new NGO decree, more in line with the Captain’s expectations and dedicated to the 360-degree immigration dossier, from rescues at sea to reception up to repatriations.
