The LAC's demands
An update regarding the border crossing issue. On January 24, the appeal on the border crossings was discussed at the TAR Milan and the decision is still awaited. The regional sections of FIDC, ANUU, Liberacaccia, Enalcaccia, Arcicaccia, Italcaccia and ACL were also present in the courtroom, all jointly defended by lawyers Pietro Balletti and Lorenzo Bertacchi. “LAC is now asking for the closure of 475 border crossings in Lombardy – explains lawyer Lorenzo Bertacchi – insisting that the judges read the ISPRA technical document in a distorted way. The Commissioner appointed to identify the border crossings is the Director of ISPRA and he made use of his offices that prepared a document with which all the possible mountain “border crossings” were identified, in a very broad sense, that are located in parcels of land measuring 5kmX5km on each side where the presence of migrants is plausible. In short, the presence of a fixed post in the 25 square km area is enough to make the border crossing fall among those "of interest".
Migration routes
ISPRA confirmed that it did not investigate the migration routes, but that it identified the areas where there could be migrants. The Commissioner in his report then identified 19 border crossings to be closed immediately on the basis of information on migration and 15 to be checked urgently. In practice, the ISPRA technical document identifies 475 possible border crossings to be evaluated, while for LAC those would be the border crossings to be closed immediately: in fact, LAC contested the Commissioner's report.
The answers that the sentence will give
At the hearing we clearly pointed out that ISPRA in the technical document did not identify the border crossings to be closed nor the migration routes in Lombardy and that for the information available today the border crossings affected by the migration routes are at most those indicated by the Commissioner, which in any case will be verified and possibly modified in the coming years. Now, however, we cannot make predictions and only the sentence will give us answers. However, the national legislator must intervene on the matter, regardless of the outcome of this judgment”.
