The Italian deputies have adopted on Thursday 14 May a controversial law on internal security and immigration, according to AFP. This law will toughen the fight against illegal immigration and place Italy among the European countries most severe in the matter.
Wednesday, the right-wing government of Silvio Berlusconi had to win a confidence vote to pass the text. The vote was acquired by 297 votes against 255 with 3 abstentions. The bill creates an offense of "immigration and residence" illegal. The entry or illegal residence in Italy can be fined 5000 to 10 000. In addition to the fine, the duration of retention of immigrants increases. She spends two to six months. Similarly, any person found guilty of harboring or leased housing to illegal immigrants risk up to three years in prison. A highly controversial provision was nevertheless removed from the project. It included a requirement for doctors, school factors and denounce illegal immigrants.
The adoption of this law by the House is a small victory for Silvio Berlusconi. The President of the Italian Council was announced by "The World" at the last election campaign. It remains the only stage of the Senate - where the "Cavaliere" has a comfortable majority - before the entry into force of the controversial law. "We shut the doors (of immigration) and we do entrouvrons for those who come to work and integrate," a summary AFP Thursday the head of government.
The law sought by the Italian law provides another measure considered "iconic" by the AFP. It allows "associations of citizens" to conduct patrols to alert law enforcement of breaches of public order. Also in terms of internal security, it also provides for the registration of homeless. After its approval - which is no longer in doubt - just regular immigrant must pay 200 euros for the Italian nationality. The obtaining and renewal of residence permit will be guaranteed payment of a sum ranging from 80 to 200 euros.
Thursday's vote comes at a time when the peninsula is criticized in Europe for his extreme measures on immigration. Only a few days ago that the country has returned to Libya and on two occasions, boats of illegal immigrants charged that he had rescued or intercepted at sea in Italy, left, and defense associations of immigrants speak "back to the logic of the racial laws of the time of Mussolini." Other voices elsewhere. To the Top of the UN Commission for Refugees (UNHCR), quoted by "The Point" is a violation of European law. "
Berlusconi, whose wife has just asked for divorce to ensure the AFP that 76% of Italians support his Government's position on immigration. Last year, nearly 36 000 migrants arrived in Italy from Africa via the Sicilian island of Lampedusa, a figure up 75% compared to 2007 according to the Italian authorities. Rome to justify his position by such mass arrivals.
