The political controversy on migrants continues, with Schifani speaking of a "Sicily submerged by landings", while in the Senate the Constitutional Affairs commission has resumed the vote on the amendments to the Cutro decree, a provision that is expected in the Chamber tomorrow afternoon.
The Commission started with the amendments to article 4, while the decree is made up of 11 articles.
Salvini: "On migrants, the majority is cohesive"
"We are working in total agreement with the majority, welcoming those fleeing the war is sacrosanct, fighting smugglers, traffickers and criminals is equally fundamental to saving lives. The numbers show that the special protection invented by the Giallorossi government it doesn't work".
This was stated by the Minister of Infrastructure and Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini today in Pisa.
"The no of the left-wing regions to the state of emergency and to the CPR - he added - is not a disturbance to Salvini: if there is no center for the repatriation of illegal immigrants in Tuscany how can I keep them pending expulsion. So I hope that the regions led by the left do the interests of their citizens and not just ideological battles".
Piantedosi defends the state of emergency: "it serves to manage arrivals".
"The state of emergency has also been used for Ukrainian refugees to have tools for managing the phenomenon suited to the strong impact of concentrated arrivals of people. If 6,000 arrive in one weekend, I challenge anyone with ordinary tools to find adequate accommodation ".
This was stated by Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi speaking at a conference organized by the Coisp police union, adding that "the emergency is not a qualification of the phenomenon but it is a technical tool for adequate management of reception".
On
special protection
"I am convinced that parliamentary work will be able to find the right balance between compliance with humanitarian and constitutional obligations, but at the same time without debasing the high value of a legal institution, transforming it into a surreptitious mechanism for avoiding access to residence in the national territory".
This was stated by Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi speaking at a conference organized by the police union Coisp.
In the meantime, this morning the Peluso ship arrived in the port of Catania
carrying 201 of the approximately 600 migrants rescued yesterday by the Coast Guard in Maltese Sar waters 170 miles south of the coast of Sicily.

Schifani: "Sicily submerged by the landings of migrants"
"The emergency exists, we have been living it in Sicily for a month already, since we were 'submerged' by landings. Thousands of people have invaded the Lampedusa hotspot which can only accommodate a few hundred migrants. The Region has made its part and gave a hand, we managed to get blankets, shoes, food in collaboration with the Ministry of the Interior".
This was stated by the president of the Sicilian Region, Renato Schifani, on the issue of migrants on Tgcom24.
"The reception of basic necessities is sacred, but a concrete policy is needed to manage these arrivals. We are tired of hearing statements that can be shared on a purely theoretical level but far from any concrete feasibility. We must act, we are at the point of no return," stressed Schifani.
Sala: "Unsustainable numbers on unaccompanied foreign minors"
"We mayors ask the government to rethink the whole system a bit because it is not by deluding people that the issue can be resolved through the elimination of some institutions. We ask to be heard, if we had the solution in hand we would propose it but we live the reality and we know what we are dealing with".
This was explained by the mayor of Milan, Giuseppe Sala, on Sky Tg24, where he spoke of the opposition of the mayors of the Democratic Party to the government's decision to cancel the special protection for migrants.
In Milan "we have the specific problem that we underline, namely that of unaccompanied foreign minors. We have unsustainable numbers today and we are asking for a hand on this too - he concluded -.
Weber: "Italy must be thanked and helped"
"Regarding migration, concrete measures of solidarity towards Italy by the other EU countries are needed. This is why the EPP group this week asked for a special debate in the EU Parliament to seek solidarity towards Italy".
So in an interview with Corriere della Sera the president and group leader in the EU Parliament of the EPP Manfred Weber.
Lepore: "Without reception we will have tent cities"
"If the widespread reception system is removed, a state of emergency is decreed and a commissioner is chosen, this opens the door to requisitioning football pitches or former barracks for the tent cities The bodies of Cutro weren't enough to stop the propaganda of the League".
So the mayor of Bologna Matteo Lepore told Repubblica.
Bonaccini: "Meloni was screaming before, now he is without a compass"
"It is time for everyone to assume their responsibilities. If the government thinks of abandoning the ordinary way of welcoming, the widespread one, so to speak, to build large structures, then come to If we had managed the reception of Ukrainian refugees in this way, the situation would have exploded".
Thus, on the policies on migrants, the president of the Emilia-Romagna Region Stefano Bonaccini to the Press.
