Security Decree, Costa (Forza Italia): «It's not a rule for forced deportation. And Meloni showed good sense»

As Forza Italia's newly elected president of the parliamentary group, Enrico Costa has immediately addressed the government's security decree, asserting that Prime Minister Meloni's approach demonstrates pragmatism and good sense. Costa, speaking to Corriere della Sera, emphasized that the decree is not a forced measure but a sensible response to the considerations of the legal profession, ensuring assistance for all, especially the vulnerable, in both judicial and extrajudicial phases.

“

the prime minister with pragmatism and good sense announced an ad hoc measure, responding to the considerations of the legal profession that this majority has always listened to with attention. It is fundamental that assistance is ensured to all people, especially the weakest, in both the judicial and extrajudicial phases.

Costa also clarified Forza Italia's stance on migration, distinguishing between voluntary repatriation, a key EU program, and forced deportation. He stressed the party's commitment to liberal principles, ensuring individuals can assert their rights and have access to legal defense. This stance, he noted, reflects Forza Italia's distinct sensitivity on migration issues, even as they advocate for regular immigration, which they see as complementary to combating irregular migration.

“

voluntary repatriation is a fundamental element of EU programs and has nothing to do with forced deportation, from the outset Forza Italia has highlighted that a liberal state must put everyone in a position to assert their reasons and has worked to ensure the exercise of defense with the utmost autonomy, freedom and independence, without any ambiguity.

Furthermore, Costa highlighted Forza Italia's ongoing efforts to promote regular immigration policies, particularly for young people integrating into Italy. He also touched upon the party's work on end-of-life legislation, aiming to find a solution that respects human dignity and aligns with the Constitutional Court's prompts. Costa expressed confidence in the majority's ability to find consensus on complex issues, contrasting it with the perceived lack of cohesion among their political adversaries.

“

Promoting regular immigration policies is a distinctive trait of ours. There is a need in the country to open up to young people who integrate and study here. Of course, these steps are not achieved overnight, they take time. It is up to us to make them mature on the political agenda.
