Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi
said the supreme Court of Cassation's ruling that the government
must compensate migrants for keeping them aboard a coastguard
ship in 2018 was something that could be commented on and that
he did not agree with it, like other government members.
"Judicial sentences are respected but can be commented on, with
deep respect we will execute this sentence of the Supreme Court
but I do not agree with it at all, precisely because I know that
case in depth", he said on the case of the Eritrean migrants
kept aboard the Diciotti ship due to then interior minister
Matteo Salvini's controversial closed ports policy.
"Sentences, even the authoritative ones of the Supreme Court,
are respected but can be commented on, can be judged in some way
and cannot be agreed with on my part".
