At that time, ports were timidly being reopened after the then Minister of the Interior vetoes. Still, the final goal of Italian politics was to impose a redistribution of asylum seekers to the nations to which rescue vessels belonged. That is why, seven months after his arrival, <strong>Angel was sent to Germany<\/strong>. Here, <strong>nobody informed him that he was entitled to asylum<\/strong> for fleeing his country for being a homosexual, thus he told a different story and the commission denied his asylum request.<\/p>\n<p>Luckily, he decided to come back to Italy and in Bologna he met <strong>Omar<\/strong>, a guy who regularly came to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ilgrandecolibri.com\/en\/nido\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nido del Colibr\u00ec<\/a>. Then <strong>Imoz<\/strong>, another guy we were working with, helped with finding him a place to stay, while we were trying to figure out if he could reapply for asylum in Italy, since it was the first European country where he had applied for asylum.<\/p>\n<p>And here comes the surprise: the Questura (the Italian Police Department) stated that his transfer to Germany, three years later, had not been finalised! We are now trying to figure out how to help him out of this bureaucratic mess. Meanwhile, we are registering him with the <em>NHS<\/em> and, thanks to our volunteers, he is completing his vaccination cycle and acquiring several useful documents for his stay. <em><strong>How many people in Europe could be in the same situation as Angel and not even know it?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you have any question, you can write an email to <a href=\"mailto:piacenza@ilgrandecolibri.com\">piacenza@ilgrandecolibri.com<\/a><br \/>\nThe answers will be published on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ilgrandecolibri.com\/en\/nido\/\">Nido del Colibr\u00ec page<\/a>!<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">translation by <strong>Antonio Pauletta<\/strong><br \/>\n\u00a92022 Il Grande Colibr\u00ec<br \/>\nCover Image: Rendition on photo by Dorrell Tibbs \/ Unsplash<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The sloppy handling of people arriving in Italy, repeated changes in the law and a lack of information result in terrible odysseys for migrants who are left alone and completely&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":43,"featured_media":32090,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7855],"tags":[8031,8028,8029,2637,7895,8030,8027],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ilgrandecolibri.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32856"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ilgrandecolibri.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ilgrandecolibri.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ilgrandecolibri.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/43"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ilgrandecolibri.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=32856"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.ilgrandecolibri.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32856\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":32859,"href":"https:\/\/www.ilgrandecolibri.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32856\/revisions\/32859"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ilgrandecolibri.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/32090"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ilgrandecolibri.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=32856"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ilgrandecolibri.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=32856"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ilgrandecolibri.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=32856"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
