The Italian government is preparing a new Security Decree that could significantly change how migration is managed at the country’s borders.
The draft introduces a new measure: a temporary ban on crossing Italy’s territorial waters, initially up to 30 days, renewable up to a maximum of six months.

Roger Waters is sort of a Mearsheimer of rock music. Why would anyone still care about his idiotic opinions on…pretty much anything?
Roger Waters tells Piers Morgan the Iranian police is defending shop keepers from violent thugs. A new set of people are finding out Waters is a vile idiot who always apologizes for non-Western dictatorships and deserves nothing but contempt. No one should be asking him about his political opinions.

Don’t know what to make out of 🇨🇿 PM Babis’s statement that he doesn’t need to explain to vd Layen the 🇨🇿 far-right’s leader Okamura (currently the chair of the chamber of deputies) statements about her, as she doesn’t know who Okamura is. Is he suggesting that Okamura is a useless nobody? I hope so
