The requests of migrants who participated in

Scream "Long live the anti -fascist Italy!" Not
It is a crime. Indeed, anti -fascism is a value protected by the Constitution,
As well as protesting for what the institutions are not doing
for the climate. At the Mantua literature festival, an activist
climatic had exposed a sign with the word “But don't hear the
heat?". Eni was among the sponsors. In both cases the dissent
politician was criminalized and people have been identified. The
information collected are merged into the Ministry's SDI database
of the interior.
In the absence of valid reasons e
communicated, however, there is a risk that an arbitrary form of
filing. And that those who are exercising the free manifestation of the
just thought is treated as a dangerous subject, a
subversive. It does not escape the consequences of this new "practice"
may be far worse for those who are not an Italian citizen and yes
finds the request of
citizenship. A "mere suspicion" can in fact lead to a refusal.
“Elements that do not allow to exclude emerged from the investigation
possible dangers for the safety of the Republic and for this reason
impediment to the granting of citizenship ". With these few words,
three lines without any other explanation, only a simple suspicion, the
Ministry of the Interior, in the last three years, has rejected the questions
of citizenship of hundreds of citizens
foreigners who had the whole
right to acquire it. And he did it without these people having
never committed a crime, they had never been investigated or attributed in a
criminal procedure, therefore, without having a stain on their own
judicial box.
Punish dissent - this is the case, for
example, of a 31 -year -old man who was born in Morocco but has lived from 15 years to
Verona. Karim (imagination name) asked to remain anonymous for
protect its identity and appeal against the refusal of the
citizenship. In the Scaliger city it is well known and esteemed,
especially in the university world and associations where it operates from
time as a volunteer and operator. It is part of the self -managed laboratory
Pararatodos, one of the largest social spaces in Verona who carries out
different social activities, such as the Italian school, it
Social desk, courses and cultural events. But also an important
place of criticism and politics from below, through the organization of
Square events.
On a working and social level,
university professors, employees of the hospital of the
City, councilors and councilors of the Municipality have told that
Karim's approach is that of opening and collaboration, capable of
Approach different cultures, to build bridges. A teacher
of the University of Siena, who knows his work, underlined the
his ability to compare peaceful, altruism and civic sense,
calling him "a young man who is making Italy a country
improve". Has no precedents, nor criminal proceedings in progress and does not have
Never committed crimes. But the Ministry of the Interior nourishes a
suspicion, and Karim discovered it when one was notified to him
communication according to which there would be “elements that do not allow

Obviously, they constitute an obstacle to the granting of the
citizenship.
In situations similar to his, to
basis of the decision there was a report by the police. For
This is man hypothesizes that he has been attached by the division
local, for the attendance and participation in the activities of the Center
social and for its commitment as an activist in the area in favor of
weaker. Yes, because these stories seem to be a step beyond the
criminalization of dissent through identification in banks
Police data whose newspaper has already given account.
“A person who lives one is preferred
life home and work, does not come out and does not participate ", he continues," instead of
Consider a model citizen who takes part in political life ". THE
his lawyers, who have appealed to the TAR, point out how
is already an active member of Italian civil society and as
daily gives body to the values of the Constitution. The court
administrative will have four years to decide.
Above all suspicions - yet,
for the Ministry of the Interior which evaluated and signed the rejection of the
demand for citizenship, man is potentially considered
dangerous. According to the dicastery, “the impedimental elements come from
institutionally responsible bodies to operate for the safety of the
state, attributable to reliable sources of which it is not given doubt, and
Therefore, it is not possible to further explicit the aforementioned
obstacle elements ". And again, the provisions of the Interior Ministry believe that
“The verification of the existence of reasons inherent in the safety of the
Repubblica does not reduce to the assessment of criminally relevant facts
But it extends to the area of the prevention of crimes ".
In other words: to see each other
rejected the question of citizenship is enough a simple suspicion
intelligence, it is not necessary to have committed any crime. Enough
have been mentioned in a report during an event or be part of
of a contestation movement, even without complaints or formal
Identifications. Information not known by the interested party. "I have it
lived as an intimidation ”, comments Karim,“ but I continued to do
part of the movement ".
Despite the appeal, then, his own
legali have not had any detail on the accusations made, given that
This kind of acts is secreted. The lawyer cannot therefore receive
Another useful indication to find out the motivations of the refusal and so
defend it as the law provides. Not only. The defense of man, though
recognizing the wide discretion of the Ministry of the Interior in
matter, highlighted that discretion cannot justify
"The absence of a minimum of motivational content". The decision on
basis of the mere suspicion, underline the lawyers, cannot degenerate into
free will: not to explain rigor the reasons does not mean

Are not isolated cases - according to what
emerged from access to the documents presented by the Study Association
legal immigration, “the number of instances rejected on the base
of reasons relating to the security of the Republic was 233 in 2020,
169 in 2021 and 218 in 2022 ". For 2023 the data is not yet
Available, but it is possible to hypothesize that the trend is followed.
The judicial authority would have the

Check the consistency of the explanation given by Digos from a point of
logical view. Usually there are a few lines of motivation, a lot
generic, and lawyers not only cannot make a copy of the documents
of investigation - can only transcribe under the eyes of the authority -
But they don't even have the opportunity to oppose an exception beyond the
manifest illogicality. “There are evidently functional evaluations to a
prevention policy that, freeing himself from the commission of a fact
concrete, remains easily at the mercy of racial prejudices e
Political assessments, "say the lawyers. The fact remains that from these
suspects it is impossible to defend yourself, precisely because of the character

entrusted to the exclusive decision of the Ministry of the Interior.
