"It is commendable what Prime Minister Meloni is doing to stop illegal immigrant landings and to prevent Italy from becoming the refugee camp of the EU. We must effect meaningful change in the migration phenomena by preventing illegal immigrants from reaching our ports, which are, remember, Europe's boundaries. Regarding what Australia has prepared, I have my own proposal: I believe that in agreement with the EU and the UN, given the opposition to the right proposal for hotspots on the African coasts, it is necessary to immediately build in international waters an artificial island in the Mediterranean, a sort of landing pit stop on the model of the infamous Rose Island, where to create a hub of welcome and salvation, and to verify whether immigrants are authorized to enter Europe". Senator Michaela Biancofiore made this improbable suggestion yesterday. "A bit like what Greece has also suggested," she clarified, "a neutral place of international cooperation in which, in collaboration with the International Red Cross and other humanitarian organizations, we can take care of these desperate people, make them land without letting them drown, while also taking their fingerprints for identification and evaluating their right to request and obtain asylum. Those who do not meet the standards will be repatriated, as President Von der Leyen has stated. This would avoid the dramas of Lampedusa and Porto Empedocle, as well as other coastal areas in our country, Spain, Greece, Malta, and so on."
