Tommi 🤯I have returned to Italy, my motherland, on the day a minister was found not guilty for what is clearly a criminal, despicable act, with no excuses.
It is terrible to experience the conflict of being back home and meeting my family again after many months, while the place I am coming back to makes me feel so sad…
Not to mention the unbearable overwhelming feeling I got after 10 minutes of cable news my dad was watching.
While I am out of Italy, I really wish and believe that I want to come back and live here. Then I set foot in this country again, and I just want to run away.

Italian court clears Vice Premier Salvini of illegally detaining migrants on a rescue ship in 2019
A court in Sicily Friday found Vice Premier Matteo Salvini not guilty of illegally detaining 100 migrants aboard a humanitarian rescue ship when he was interior minister. The court dropped all the charges against Salvini in relation an incident in 2019, when he refused to allow the migrants to leave the Open Arms rescue ship at Italy’s southernmost island of Lampedusa. Verdicts in Italy are only considered final once all appeals are exhausted, a process that can take years. Now transport minister in Premier Giorgia Meloni’s far-right-led government, Salvini has always defended himself, saying he acted to protect Italy’s borders.
