"They work," or rather, "they don't," a social media clash between the Democratic Party and the Brothers of Italy over CPRs in Albania.

The latest social media duel between the Brothers of Italy and the Democratic Party is unfolding over the migrant centers in Albania. "Are you still defending the empty prisons in Albania? A project that violates human rights, costing a billion euros and also illegal. Shame on you."

The Democratic Party (PD) thus responded on social media to a post by the Italian Democratic Party (Fdi) that read: "Schlein imitates President Meloni and exults against Italy." The post was accompanied by a video of the Democratic Party secretary saying: "Today we received the news as we were arriving here in Force and they told us: look, the European Court of Justice has ruled against the Italian government on those inhumane and cynical centers in Albania. This is what happened. Let's send a message to the Prime Minister: the centers in Albania won't work." The last sentence was slowed down with a video editing program to make it sound parodic.

The Democratic Party retorts: "The real question is how can you remain in government while continuing to row against Italy? What you have done with tariffs, taxes on multinationals, and military spending, damaging the national interest because of your political subservience to Trump, is against Italy," the Democrats write.

The social media exchange between the Democratic Party and the Italian Democratic Party (FdI) is seething with anger among the ruling parties over the European Court of Justice's ruling, which did not rule out a judge's scrutiny of governments' designations of "safe" countries when rejecting asylum seekers. "Do we want to put a magistrate at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs? Only in judicial dictatorships is everyone subject to scrutiny except judges. That's Jacobin. Judges must apply the law, not choose safe destinations," said Antonio Tajani, Foreign Minister, in an interview with Corriere della Sera.

Riccardo Magi, secretary of Più Europa, responded to Tajani in the same vein: "Being Jacobin is believing that there is a political power superior to the law, and there's nothing unusual about the European Court of Justice being the body that verifies the conformity of national laws with European directives and regulations and provides the correct interpretation of these. From Tajani, a former president of the European Parliament, we would have expected greater care to avoid slipping into the most vulgar anti-European sovereignism."

"Judges decide on applications for international protection after a lengthy investigation, not in a day. And unlike the government's, this investigation takes into account the applicant's specific circumstances. The country of origin, while considered safe in theory, may not be safe for someone belonging to a persecuted minority, perhaps for reasons related to the individual: for example, sexual orientation," Rocco Maruotti, secretary general of the National Association of Magistrates, wrote in Corriere della Sera.
