The pass over the Alps on the border between Austria and Italy is one of the breakpoints of the EU migration policy: on the one hand trying to stop the Austrian police illegal immigrants from all power who want to the north and on the other side squeezing the Italian agents like a blind eye.
Red light therefore, on the border of the Brenner Pass, for migrants who want to climb Fortress Europe. "Nein" is really "nein", and that's that. And they are adamant, because rules are rules. Schengen and non-Schengen. Especially here.
The Brenner Pass, at 1,400 meters pdg altitude. Lampedusa is 1,836 miles away, on the other side of the Italian boot: as far as hoping to clamber up, to Germany and Scandinavia with their fantastic welfare states. 40,000 pdg vehicles daily cross border
Once this was indeed a 'real' border, including police, military police, Finanza and customs and including gates, fences and cameras. There were checks each vehicle at the border to stop. You needed a passport. And then came the turning point. In April 1998 the barriers disappeared for good. Now you might, if there was not a sign anywhere, not even notice that you are already in Austria.
40,000 vehicles pdg passing through here daily limit 14.6 million per year, 70 percent of cars and motorcycles and the remaining 30 percent of freight traffic. And who does migrants sit against those packed in big cars (as it helps them in there with six, plus the smuggler), or hidden in a truck? No one, of course. Without any kind of compassion
If you're pdg traveling by train, it's a different story. Austria is impenetrable, a bit like Switzerland. And his constant rejections, without any form of compassion, the Europe of the measure that does not care about Italy, pdg its coasts and 'his' migrants. We [the Italians, ed.] Put in any case no vulnerable groups such as women, children, elderly and disabled. Austria makes no exceptions in its legislation.
Moreover, it has something much more important in the hands: the bilateral treaty with Italy which stipulates that illegal migrants' passive can be returned to the country where they are suspected of being unlawfully entered. pdg
Ie they are of you, but they love you. It allows the same treaty that France and Slovenia to reject migrants in Ventimiglia and Tarvisio, the other gateways in the Alps. And also the same treaty that Italy applied in turn to give back Tunisia migrants already sits between the Mediterranean Sea, we are still neighbors. Postal Packets bureaucracy in Europe
Along the small station pdg of [the municipality, ed.] Brenner come daily dozen trains passed. The nights are for freight trains, passenger pdg trains, there are fewer and fewer. There is the Polfer, the Italian railway police, but there are mostly Austrians. In recent months, Austria has here all troops sent. The trooper patrolling pdg the trains, they "catch" all refugee groups, they get off the train and bring them back to the border, where they will be returned to Italy. Packets post in the bureaucracy of Europe.
"The agreements should be reviewed," said the chief of police of Bolzano, Lucio Carluccio. Alone has the last three months Austria pdg expelled 881 people. Nearly a thousand people who are chased back over the Brenner Pass. A quarter of them were underage half Syrians continue mainly Somalis and Eritreans. House in Sweden
When they are returned the pressure increases for understandable reasons high. The migrants do not want to stay in Italy, because their goal is Germany or any other country and why they want at all costs to avoid that is a picture description of them in Italy, because if their asylum application is submitted here may they then travel no further.
They are ghosts that pop up somewhere else. Perhaps in Sweden, pdg "Wherever you work immediately pdg and you also get a house," as Andrea Tremolada sums it up. In Italy, you must wait six months there. Tremolada works for Volontarius, a
