The French authorities' decision to block, Sunday, April 17, the movement of trains from the town of Ventimiglia, Italy, to Cote d'Azur has heightened tensions between France and Italy. Evidenced by numerous articles published on Monday about this in the press Alps. This measure, which sought to prevent the entry of Tunisian immigrants on French soil, was lifted in late Sunday.
The quotidienLa Repubblica denounces "a slap from Paris to Rome." In its editorial, the paper analyzes the center-left politics of this diplomatic incident as the "two populations". "For several weeks, two populations compete in Europe with a show not very glorious. I would say miserable," wrote in La Repubblica, Bernardo Valli, a former Paris correspondent, expert on relations between France and Italy.
He said the events of the weekend in Ventimiglia "border on grotesque." His political analysis leads to this conclusion: "A rising tide of populism brings Italy and France, but at the same time strengthen their opposition." In Rome, the decision to issue laissez-passer "not justified on humanitarian grounds," recalled the reporter, but carries "a disingenuous ruse to get rid of immigrants." He said political motives are similar on both sides of the border.
"In Rome, the government relies on a xenophobic party, the parliamentary majority needed to," the Northern League, "an officer with [Roberto Maroni] is the same minister of the interior". "In Paris, a year before the presidential election, Nicolas Sarkozy faces the worst polls (...) and seeks to recover the voices of the extreme right in insisting, within the limits imposed by his position on the dislike of immigrants.
" In conclusion, Bernardo Valli denounces "these two strategies that offer as much as the other, an image of Europe all but noble," and again call "the human drama being played out behind the litigation." The major Italian daily, Corriere della Sera, is content to recount the events of the weekend and takes Noted the opinion of the European Commission does not dispute that the French decision.
But the bitterness remains present and the newspaper notes that if "the conflict is resolved, at least from a practical point of view" for the rest, it is the "anger" that dominates in this "new duel between Rome and Paris on immigrants. " The daily La Stampa, read mainly in northern Italy, a report devoted to the subject.
The journalist focuses on the fate of the tourists who were stranded at the station, without information. "Another vision of Schengen," concludes Massimo Numa. Journalist criticizes France, which "plays muscles" and "refuses to see the opposite problem. For the conservative newspaper Il Tempo, resumption of rail traffic does not end in "diplomatic crisis".
"The case is closed, even if it leaves a bitter taste: it showed the wrong attitude of the French in cooperation with Italy on the immigration issue." Disability diplomatic for France, which remains highly dependent on its neighbor transalpine about immigration. On 8 April, the French interior minister, Claude Gueant, had already visited his Italian counterpart to Milan to try to relax relations between the two countries.
