Immigrants, the governor of Bavaria against Rome: few controls – The Messenger

The recent mutual reassurances between Rome and Berlin in terms of control and management of refugees, on the distribution of weights and responsibility for asylum seekers,

already seem a faded memory. “Italy clearly violates the Schengen agreements. If the situation does not change, Germany will have to seriously consider the possibility to stop the infringement through border controls. “

This time to throw gasoline on a fire already live is one of the greatest political figures of weight in Germany, the ministro- President of Bavaria, Horst Seehofer, head of the CSU, the CDU’s sister party of Chancellor Angela Merkel. Only last week the interior minister, Angelino Alfano, had flown to Berlin to collect even German support – besides French and Spanish – the new Plus Frontex, the European mission in the future will have to manage the refugee emergency in the Mediterranean, are increasingly replacing Mare Nostrum. At that Alfano had reassured his German counterpart, Thomas de Maiziere, that Italy was already doing a lot to ensure compliance with the rules of ‘Dublin II’, which among other things require the registration of refugees and the processing of any request for asylum in the first country of entry into the EU.

A legislation which, for obvious geographical reasons, in this situation of serious international crises in Africa and the Middle East weighs on extremely Countries Southeast Europe. Alfano, with the complacency of de Maiziere, had also proposed maximum hardness against taxi drivers and hirers Italian refugees who had been brought illegally into Germany through Austria. A phenomenon anything but episodic, had stressed the German minister, only recently emerged in the press in Italy because of some stationary.

Today, however, Seehofer stressed the not-too-veiled accusation few weeks ago by his interior minister, Joachim Herrmann: Italy leaves from specially migrants without recording them not to take charge of the asylum. However, adding an element that weighs heavily on the idea of ​​a Europe of solidarity and unity: restore border controls with Austria, to stop the flow of migrants from Italy. “One of the themes that most engages us at the moment is the issue of refugees,” explained Seehofer interviewed by the tabloid Bild. “The refugees who arrive by train in Bavaria are mostly from Italy via Austria. And they certainly are safe states like Germany. ” For the political cristianosociale “in Europe we need to establish fixed quotas for refugees. And we have to deal with the fact that in Europe the refugees are distributed in the right way. “

Just what they had argued Alfano and de Maiziere. The Minister of the Interior “in the next few hours to clarify what is going on with our German neighbors,” said Edoardo Patriarca of the Democratic Party. “It seems to us – counterattacks Senator – that while Berlin, officially at least, seem willing to revise the Dublin agreements, then the Bavarians chiudano every opportunity and use tones unacceptable.” “We are years that we demand a fair distribution of the costs of hospitality, without which Europe will listen to us,” replied the senator of Forza Italian Andrea Mandelli. “What is bacchetti a country that, from the beginning of the year, he had to manage alone tens of thousands of arrivals, spending nine million euro per month is too much,” he added. The refugee emergency, however, started to become a hot topic in Germany, where the authorities are expecting more than 200 thousand asylum applications in the face of a few tens of thousands made in Italy.
