"At the meeting of the provincial
committee for order and security on March 11, the mayor of
Trieste considered the possibility of adopting an order to clear
and finalize the concession of the scout camp in the village of
Prosecco to equip it for the reception of migrants in the
territory." Italy's Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi said at
the Senate question time about the situation of migrants
encamped in the former silo in Trieste.
"According to reports from the Trieste police headquarters,"
Piantedosi added, "many migrants are no longer presenting
themselves for formalizing international protection requests.
The high migratory impact determines critical issues such as
that of the former silo, where migrants in an irregular position
find shelter. The situation of the former silo is in constant
attention of the prefecture of Trieste, which has acquired the
willingness of the property to safety interventions given the
planned sale of the structure in June."
"According to data provided by Frontex," the minister
continued, "the Balkan route was the second main route to Europe
after the Mediterranean. The re-establishment of controls
allowed until March 12 to reject 1,352 migrants at that border,
compared to about 40 migrants readmitted to Slovenia in the same
period last year."
He added that the heavy overland migratory pressure in that
geographic quadrant also affects the reception management in the
province of Trieste. As a result, a strategy to stem the migrant
flow has been implemented. In 2023, out of 2,433 transfers from
Friuli Venezia Giulia, 1,788 were from the province of Trieste.
This year, out of the 685 in the region, 348 are from the
province of Trieste, and just today, there was an additional
transfer of 50 asylum seekers."
