Interior Minister Matteo
Salvini's migrants-security decree, which clamped down on
migrants' stay permits, is not retroactive, the supreme Court of
Cassation said Tuesday.
It ruled that applications already filed will have to be
examined according to the former norms on permits for
humanitarian reasons.
If there are the premises, it said, the permit that is issued
will have the label 'special cases', as envisaged by the decree,
and will last two years, after which the new regime will kick
in.
Salvini said when asked if the ruling changed anything "No,
I'm proud of it and it is solving a lot of problems".
