Two courts in Italy have decided to ignore the Italian government's decree regarding immigrants, through which the countries they come from were reclassified as safe or unsafe.

According to the Italian media, the decree approved by the government of Prime Minister Georgia Meloni, which aimed to have a clear list of safe countries to make the agreement with Albania enforceable, is being put at risk again and this is because two judges have thought otherwise .

A judge in Catania, while evaluating the legitimacy of the detention of an Egyptian minor, wrote in the decision that Egypt could not be considered a safe country, unlike what was listed by the decision-making of the Italian executive.

The judge says that the decree of the Meloni government cannot deprive the judge of making such a decision, guaranteed by the Court of Justice of the European Union.

Arguing why Egypt in his opinion cannot be a safe country, Judge Escher says that it is one of the countries where the death penalty is applied and the number of executions is among the highest in the world.

Also according to him, Egypt has violations of freedom of religion and civil rights, violence and discrimination against women and minors.

Meanwhile, a Court in Rome, while examining the case of one of the 12 people who were previously transferred to Gjadër, has sent the decree for evaluation to the European Court of Justice, as previously decided by a judge in Bologna.

These court decisions again cast doubt on the implementation of the migrant agreement with Albania in Italy, as two days ago it was decided that other migrants will soon arrive in Gjadër and the ship "Libra" has resumed operations 20 miles from Lampedusa to welcome the refugees rescued in the waters of the Mediterranean.
