Frontex: possible arrivals of 1.5 million Obama: "Indignation, rights are not negotiable"

ROME - "strongly condemn the use of violence in Libya - Obama said -. The bloodbath is monstrous, and it is unacceptable. These actions violate international norms and standards of any normal decency." It 's the message Barack Obama (in the late Italian) who speaks for the first time in an official Libyan crisis.

An appeal by harsh words. The repression in Libya during the "contravenes international law and is contrary to human rights, says the president, adding that" human rights are not negotiable "and those responsible for violations" must respond ". "The changes underway in the region are the work of the people," said the president and launched an international appeal: "It 's imperative that nations and peoples speak with one voice." But the alarm after one week of the revolt in Libya is general.

Italy is worried discovers and invokes the help of Brussels. For the time being obtained by Frontex, the European agency for border control, confirming that the situation promises to be heavy and most of the Roma will have to bear weight. According to EU estimates, the revolts in North Africa could push in Europe between 500,000 and 1.5 million immigrants who "will head mainly in Italy, Malta and Greece." According to sources in Brussels, "they are people of sub-Saharan origin who work in Libya and North Africa" and that "they will go mainly in Italy, Malta and Greece." An analysis that seems to confirm the worst predictions have expressed today by our government at the highest level.

"All night we were in contact with European and American leaders to monitor the situation in Libya and other countries of North Africa. What is important is that there is no violence but we must also be careful about what happens next when will be changed when we deal with these regimes and that are important to us for the supply of energy, "he admitted today the Prime Minister, Silvio Berlusconi.

The Italian government, said, looking with attention and concern to the changing situation in Libya and with the hope that what is happening does not lead towards a dangerous direction "that leads to the prevalence of" Islamic fundamentalism ". Given these concerns, the solution is called above all Europe.

"We urge that makes Europe Europe. We want more of Europe in the coordination and management of migratory flows," he said this morning the Foreign Minister Franco Frattini, speaking on House. "On the landing - he insisted - is Europe's solidarity." According to the foreign minister in the next hours could reach the Italian coasts up to 350 thousand immigrants and "it is evident that the consequences of migration crises in the Maghreb can not be accolades only to Italy." He 's gone in more detail the Interior Minister Roberto Maroni, who announced his intention to apply along with colleagues from France, Spain, Greece, Cyprus and Malta to the Council meeting of interior ministers of the 27 scheduled for tomorrow the creation of a special solidarity fund to be allocated to countries that bear the major migration flows.

If until now the arrivals in 6300 were Italy, according to Maroni "in front of a humanitarian emergency that threatens to bring on the shores of our countries, 200 or 300 thousand refugees in a few weeks, we ask the EU countries to make an effort to avoid a situation like this can be left in charge to individual countries.

We will implement the principle of solidarity between European countries. " Figures that the opposition, before confirmation of Frontex, had tried to grow a specially inflated unjustified alarmism. "Frattini - IDV complaint such as the House leader Massimo Donadi - has raised the specter of immigration and the inability to hide the mistakes of the government.

A ploy to mask the incompetence and improper delay with which Italy condemned the massacre of civilians in Libya. " Cautious on the figures set out by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is also the spokesperson for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), Laura Boldrini. "It 's right to prepare for any scenario and prepare all the necessary facilities in case of mass arrivals - precise - but it is also true that we must not to alarm the public by saying that there is a risk of facing a real their invasion.

" The warning came from Frontex, among other things denies the caution expressed by the EU Commissioner to crises and humanitarian assistance Kristalina Georgieva that day had partially reduced the risk immigration emergency. "For the moment we are not facing a humanitarian crisis, but we are seriously worried" that it can take in the near future because "the situation is very unstable and changing," he said spokeswoman Georgia.

As for the management of immigration flows and the pressing demands Italian, replied in an informal EU Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso. "We must be ready at the European level to face the possible migration from Libya to Italy," Barroso explained spieganbdo have discussed the problem with the Prime Minister and the President of the Republic.

The EU Commission President also met the High Commissioner for UN Human Rights, Navi Pillay. "We need immediate - he explained it - of an independent investigation for crimes against humanity" in Libya. For the rest of Brussels this morning gave a "unanimous condemnation for the use of force in Libya," reiterating that "it is unacceptable that a leader threatens its own citizens." The meeting of the European Commission has also considered the possible establishment of a 'no fly zone', confirming the blocking of exports of arms already undertaken by individual states to deny that there are risks to energy sourcing.

"There are no conditions for Libya to exercise a 'blackmail' Economic Europe, closing the gas taps," it was pointed out in Brussels.
