The immigration decree is now a law: it will change the lives of thousands of people for the worse.

Image
With yesterday's vote of confidence in the Chamber, the immigration decree was converted into law. Again we express our opposition to a provision that changes, in negative, the lives of thousands of people, making them even more vulnerable and exposing them to the risk of living on the margins. As already reiterated, far from guaranteeing "public order and security", this decree goes in the opposite direction, sharpening social hardship and increasing insecurity for the entire population, both migrants and Italians, with heavy repercussions also on social cohesion. According to some estimates, the only abolition of humanitarian protection - a residence permit granted by the Italian State to those who, despite not having the requisites to obtain international protection, still present vulnerabilities that require a form of protection - will produce 60 thousand new irregularities in the next two years. Thousands of new homeless people, people without rights, who risk becomi

The era of foldable smartphones is finally here – and the impact will be enormous

Image
Move over present, the future has arrived. After about a decade of waiting, years of hoping, and several rumored false starts, the era of the foldable smartphone officially began this month with the announcement of not one, but two different efforts to bring devices leveraging bendable, foldable displays to market. To be fair, it won’t actually be until sometime in 2019 when we can see, hold and purchase such products. Nevertheless, the introduction of Samsung’s Infinity Flex display-based devices and the Royole FlexPai make it clear that the long dreamed of idea for a pocket-sized smartphone that can unfold into a larger, tablet-like device is finally upon us. The appeal of such a device is obvious, and I believe its impact – at least, eventually – will be enormous. Just as it’s hard to remember a world where mobile phones only made phone calls, so too will there come a time when it will be hard to imagine a world that didn’t have foldable, connected computing devices that fit into

Traveling outside Italy:EU long-stay permit: Working and studying outside Italy

Traveling outside Italy: EU long-stay permit: Working and studying outside Italy If you have subsidiary protection or refugee status (5-year permesso di soggiorno) or a work permit in Italy, but want to work or study in a different EU country legally, you will need a “Permesso di soggiorno UE per soggiornanti di lungo periodo.” In English, this means an EU permit for long-stay residents, and was previously called a "carta di soggiorno" in Italian. Without this permit, if you leave Italy to work or study, you will probably lose your status in Italy. But once you have this kind of permesso di soggiorno, you become eligible to take work or study opportunities in other EU countries without losing your right to live and work in Italy. The permesso is valid for an undetermined period of time. You will need to update the basic information on your permesso, such as your photo and address, every 5 years for it to remain valid as an ID document. You can upd

UPDATE ON THE SALVINI'S TRIP TO GHANA

Image
Matteo Salvini flew on 5 and 6 November in Ghana for a flash mission. Ignored by the majority, the mission had the purpose, according to the League representative, of the signing of an "agreement with the government to control immigration and guarantee a future of study and work for those children, but in their country". The announcement in a tweet. In Accra, the pro tempore minister met his Ghanean counterpart Ambrose Dery and the president of the country Nana Akufo-Addo, who denied Salvini's enthusiastic comments on the outcome of the trip. The main local newspaper, Ghanaians times, titled the day after the meeting: "The president furious for the inhuman treatment of African migrants". And on the inside pages his hard sentences against Salvini are reported: "One should not hide behind the pretext of combating irregular migrations to commit abuses against irregular migrants". But Salvini's journey proved extravagant for another aspect. In fact, h

Even the Council of the Superior Magistracy (CSM) expresses a negative opinion on the immigration decree: "unconstitutional in the part that deals with migrants and asylum seekers".

Image
The CSM rejects the Security decree, which presents numerous "critical issues" and does not respect "obligations" and "guarantees" provided for by the Constitution. The "findings" that the sixth CSM Commission highlights in its opinion, approved today unanimously and which will be voted by the plenum on Wednesday, on the dl Security wanted by the Minister of the Interior Matteo Salvini. On detention, "the legislature - reads the opinion - does not identify the parameters on the basis of which the commissioner may decide to retain or not the foreigner, thereby granting him discretion free from any typology of the conditions of exercise as such not in accordance with degree of guarantees required by Article 13 of the Constitution ". And again: in the document that will be examined from the plenum it is observed that "the extension of the category of predicate offenses of refusal or revocation of international protection appears for

WILL MY CARTA D'IDENTITÀ BE CANCELLED BY THE NEW DECREE?

Image
Some of you have asked if the carta d'identità, or identity card, for asylum-seekers is canceled now. The answer is a little complex. The short answer: Since the Salvini Decree was issued, Italy is no longer issuing new carte d'identità to asylum-seekers. Is this new policy final? The policy is part of the Salvini Decree. The Salvini Decree went into force on October 5, but it is not yet a law. You can read more about the Salvini Decree here ðŸ‘‡http ://lordkelvin07.blogspot.com/2018/11/brief-summary-on-salvini-decree-so-far.html The Italian Parliament is currently reviewing the Salvini Decree and has until December 3 to approve or reject it. If Parliament approves this policy as part of the Salvini Decree, it will become law and will be final. I already have a carta d'identità. Is it still valid? Yes. If you already have a carta d'identà, under the current rules, you can continue to use it as long as it's valid. Lawyers think it is unlikely that the Italian g

Image
At dawn this morning Italian police evicted around 150 people who had been staying at the Baobab Experience in Rome 😢 The Baobab is a informal volunteer-run camp near Tiburtina station. It provides food and shelter to some of the most vulnerable migrants in Italy — those in transit and those outside of the Italian reception system. Since opening in 2015 it has helped almost 80,000 people. La Repubblica reports that at the time of the eviction, the Baobab was hosting many holders of humanitarian protection, who are unable to stay in SPRAR centers as a result of the Salvini Decree. About 120 people were taken to the immigration office at the police headquarters in Rome, La Repubblica added. Andrea Costa, the Baobab Experience Coordinator said "now hundreds of people will end up on the street. We hope that the city council takes action.” Following the eviction, Salvini posted on Facebook: "Free zones, without state and legality, are no longer tolerated, we promised it, we

A man wakes up after 12 years of coma and finds his 75 year-old mother at his bedside.

Image
A man woke up after 12 years of coma and at his bedside he found his 75-year-old mother who had looked after him day and night for over a decade. The woman cried with joy at seeing her son's eyes open. A dream, almost unexpected, became a reality. The old woman, over the years, had spent all her belongings and had contracted a debt of about 15 thousand euros to take care of her son. And now the miracle. The story took place in Shouguang, China. As reported by the Mail Online, the man, Wang Shubao, remained tetraplegic after a car accident in 2006, when he was 36 years old. His father died when he was young, so only his mother, Wei Mingying, remained as his only guardian angel. For 12 years, The Mother's day began very early, at 5 am. She washed her son's face, fed him, took care of his hygiene needs, massaged and repositioned his body to prevent bedsores. Caring for the only child was the center of her life, but she never complained. "There was a time - explains Momm

ITALY SENATE PASSES TOUGH ANTI-MIGRANT DECREE

Image
The Italian Senate has cleared the way for Interior Minister Matteo Salvini's tough anti-migrant decree to become law following a confidence vote. The populist government of Salvini's League and Luigi Di Maio's anti-establishment Five Star Movement (M5S) won the vote with 163 senators for, 59 against and 19 abstentions, including five M5S members opposed to the stringent decree. The lower house of parliament now has until the end of November to approve the decree, which the coalition first put forward in September, and makes it easier to expel migrants and strip them of Italian citizenship. The government opted for a confidence vote to get the decree through the senate after M5S members tabled a slew of amendments. It should now have no problem passing the lower house given the coalition's majority. A delighted Salvini tweeted that it was a "historic day." The decree will put an end to two-year "humanitarian protection" residency permits -- a l

SALVINI TO CUT DOWN COST OF RECEPTION CENTRES FROM 35-19 EUROS PER DAY

Image
On the 2nd of November 2018, Matteo Salvini, live on Facebook from his office at the Viminale, stated that "The €35 a day for migrants will become less".

The figure will vary depending on the number of migrants hosted in the centers". The document will be presented to the table on November 7 in an HOC meeting chaired by the minister who will sit with the interlocutors Regions, Provinces, Municipalities and experts in the sector.

Italian interior minister Matteo Salvini's girlfriend breaks up with him on Instagram

Image
Italian deputy prime minister Matteo Salvini’s habitual use of social media has helped to forge his path to government and boost support for his far-right party. So it was fitting that Instagram users were for the first to learn of the end of his relationship with his TV presenter girlfriend Elisa Isoardi, who announced their split with a selfie of them in bed. The break-up found space among the top items of news websites and television broadcasts in Italy, alongside stories about Rome’s war of words with the European Commission over its budget and storms that killed dozens of people in the past month. Ms Isoardi, 35, who hosts a television talk show, posted a selfie of herself with Mr Salvini apparently asleep on her shoulder.  Beneath the picture, she wrote: ”It’s not what we gave each other that I will miss but what we still could have given each other… With enormous respect for the true love that was, thank you, Matteo.” During their three-year relationship, Mr Salvini and Ms
