The controversy surrounding the security decree, approved by the Senate and now under consideration by the Chamber of Deputies, continues. The dispute is increasingly heated over the article introducing a €615 grant for lawyers handling voluntary repatriation procedures. This money will be granted if the migrants actually return home.

The National Bar Council claims it was never informed and is calling for the law to be repealed, while the center-left is protesting, calling it a "mistaken and profoundly distorting" law that could undermine the right to defense.

The Quirinale Palace remains "highly attentive" to the case. From what we understand, President Sergio Mattarella is awaiting the documents and, once the legislation reaches his desk, he will decide whether to sign it, send it back to Parliament, or sign it in a letter.

The impression is that the solution proposed by Forza Italia group leader in the Chamber of Deputies, Enrico Costa, of entrusting the resolution to a specific agenda item, will not be sufficient. The President would be unlikely to sign this text without amendments. Time is running out: the decree must be converted into law by April 25th, or it will lapse.
