by Marco Paggi - Lawyer
The chamber of Deputies is now in the process of considering Bill 733. The bill has been before the Justice and the Constitutional Affairs committees since Tuesday March 11 prior to passing to the chamber.
The security package is almost entirely devoted to immigration, albeit under the definition of migration as only a security problem. The text considered by the Senate is worrying due to the consequences it may have.

Security Package - Government defeated in the Senate over CPTs
No 18 month detentions. Votes against two other points.
Legal Decree 733, the so-called security package, suffered a setback in the process of approval, or rather it is still proceeding through Parliament, but some points, defined by Maroni as "qualifying" have been thrown out of class. The absence of some of the senators belonging to majority parties, and the bad mood of some members of the PDL party meant that the government has had to accept the Senate’s opinion relating to the extension of detention time to up to eighteen months. The Home (...)

The first opinions on this topic, as also reported by Italian newspapers, and as often happens in the Italian political environment, have been a leap into the unknown, namely without being aware of what the points system is exactly (...)
