NO TO CPRs – NOT IN CASTEL VOLTURNO, NOT ANYWHERE

NO TO CPRs – NOT IN CASTEL VOLTURNO, NOT ANYWHERE

YES TO CASTEL VOLTURNO AS A LABORATORY FOR HUMANITY, RIGHTS AND SOCIAL JUSTICE

SATURDAY 24 OCTOBER | 1:00 PM – CASTEL VOLTURNO
NATIONAL MASS DEMONSTRATION

The appeal launched by Bishop Pietro Lagnese has brought together a broad alliance, united in its determination to prevent €43 million from being allocated to the construction of a CPR — a migrant detention and repatriation centre — in Castel Volturno. Over the past few months, we have come together, organised assemblies, concerts and human chains. Now we invite everyone to join our struggle and say loudly, with one voice:

🔴 NO TO CPRs, NOT HERE, NOT ANYWHERE

CPRs must be abolished. They are concentration camps, inhumane places marked by physical, psychological and pharmaceutical violence; places of death that have nothing to do with genuine safety.

The safety we want

For us, the urgent priority is social security, a common good that grows neither from fear nor from detention. It grows from supportive communities, functioning public services, welcoming newcomers, regular employment, open and vibrant schools, healthcare, housing, shared spaces for social interaction and the ongoing care of our local area.

Castel Volturno is a magnifying glass through which we can see the consequences of decades of racist and failed migration policies. Yet it has also always been a stronghold of human advancement and resistance. We demand that public resources be used for services, employment, income support, transport, housing and the protection of the most vulnerable.

Caring for our local area and the environment

In Castel Volturno, as everywhere else, we demand concrete action to clean up contaminated land, protect rivers and coastlines, tackle illegal dumping and unauthorised construction, and return to the community all spaces reclaimed from mafia organisations.

Changing course towards a different immigration policy

From Castel Volturno, we want to inspire real change: moving beyond the logic of pushbacks and migrant detention promoted by the European Pact and the construction of CPRs. We are working to combat poverty, secure regular entry routes and residence permits, uphold the right to asylum, welcome people and fight every form of exploitation.

Ours is an appeal open to everyone: people of faith and secular people, associations, trade unions, social and environmental groups, students, migrant communities, local officials and residents. In our diversity, we can come together around a shared conviction: dignity, rights and safety must go hand in hand, for everyone.

🔴 NO TO THE CPR, NOT HERE, NOT ANYWHERE — No to concentration camps in our cities

🔴 NO TO NEW WALLS AND BARBED WIRE — No to environmentally destructive developments

🟢 YES TO SOCIAL SECURITY — Yes to caring for people and the environment

🟢 YES TO CASTEL VOLTURNO — A laboratory for humanity, rights and social justice

The Accelerated Border Procedure in force from 12 June 2026

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Ut elit tellus, luctus nec ullamcorper mattis, pulvinar dapibus leo.

The Accelerated Border Procedure

Three Phases:

1) Stating Clearly that You Will Be Petitioning for International Protection

You can manifest at any point your intention to file a request for international protection. Beginning on June 12 to October 31, 2026, the offices who have been charged with accepting your request are the Questura (local police department,) and the Border Police Stations.

2) Registration of the Request

Within five days of when you have declared that you will petition for international protection, your request must be filed. During this phase your photo will be entered in the Eurodac System (EU Agency for Asylum,) and an ID will be given to you with a unique identification code and the date in which the request was filed.

3) Formalizing the Request

Within 5 days of the filing, your request must be formalized. You must gather, if available, all useful documentation with regard to your request for international protection. Following formalization a document (for example: a residence permit due to asylum request).

BEWARE

  • ALL THE REQUESTS FOR INTERNATIONAL PROTECTION FILED FROM JUNE 12 TO OCTOBER 31, 2026, WILL BE CONSIDERED FORMALIZED FROM THE MOMENT THAT THEY ARE REGISTERED.

 

  • IF YOU DO NOT SHOW UP FOR THE APPOINTMENT TO FORMAIZE THE REQUEST. YOUR REQUEST FOR INTERNATIONAL PROTECTION WILL BE CONSIDERED WITHDRAWN. ENSURE THAT ALL COMMUNICATIONS REGARDING YOUR REQUEST FOR PROTECTION WILL REACH YOU.  IN THE INSTANCE THAT YOUR REQUEST IS CONSIDERED WITHDRAWN, AND SHOULD YOU DECIDE TO FILE A SECOND REQUEST, THIS ONE COULD BE CONSIDERED INADMISSABLE AND NOT TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT. 

 

Important:

  • During the screening procedure, which you will undergo right after your arrival, it is fundamental to state every health related condition and each specific need to guarantee access to all covertures foreseen when dealing with someone in a vulnerable state (pregnancy, victim of human trafficking, victim of gender violence, any form of physical and/or mental disability.)
  • For the duration of the procedure at the border, by law you are not authorized to be on Italian territory, therefore you cannot leave the designated entry area (Legal fiction of non-entry in EU.)
  • During the procedure you will be authorized to reside in a reception center to which you have been assigned. A magistrate will rule on this question that will include a list of your duties. In any case you must respect the center’s regulations.
  • In some cases, during the period of the procedure, you can be held near the border area in a center suitable for that purpose.
  • The border procedure can last a twelve-week maximum period starting from the date the request was formally filed.
  • During the 12-week waiting period formal registration, hearing and a decision on the part of the Territorial Commission will take place, including an eventual appeal and decision on the merits and possible suspension.
  • If the border procedure is NOT completed during the 12-week period, you will be then subjected to normal procedure and are entitled to enter the national territory.
  • If you want to appeal against a decision of the Territorial Commission, you must do so within five days of receiving sentence notification. The appeal does not automatically suspend the validity of the decision being appealed. Therefore If you have received a denial and are appealing, your lawyers must ask for the suspension of the negative decision, otherwise you could face repatriation during this time.
  • The repatriation procedure must be carried out within 12 weeks after having received notification of the denial by the Territorial Commission or notification that the Court has not accepted your appeal.
  • If the repatriation procedure is not carried out within 12 weeks, you will receive an expulsion order.

The Disability Card: a Measure to Simplify Mobility and Access to Services

If your disability has been formally recognized, you might be eligible for a Disability Card. The measure aims at facilitating the unhindered circulation of people with disabilities. A further goal is to ensure that those who reside in the countries of the European Union have equal access to services, special benefits, cultural activities, athletic facilities, means of transportation and reserved parking spaces..

 

The following categories are among the main beneficiaries:

 

  • Individuals who have a civil disability equal or superior to 67%,
  • Individuals with a serious disability in accordance with Law 104 (Art- 3, 3,)
  • Minors who are beneficiaries of attendance allowance,
  • Minors who are beneficiaries of disability allowance.

 

Individuals with disabilities who fall into other categories, can also apply for the Card. For a complete list of those who are eligible, consult the table (p. 51) published in the Anffas National Guide on The Recognition of Disability and Disability Card (also in PDF format.)

 

INPS, the national social security agency,  automatically  verifies  if  the

petitioner qualifies on the basis of the information already in its database.
For information on having your disability recognized and its related documentation, see the FAQ on the topic.
FAQ – The recognition of disability – JumaMap

Starting on March 1, 2026, in some Italian provinces, trial tests have begun with the goal of modifying the application procedure. FAQ – Disability Reform and Law 104: what has changed in 2026 – JumaMap.

The Disability Card or European Disability Card is a measure adopted to promote social inclusion, autonomy and access to a wide variety of services for people with disability.
The Card is part of a European effort whose aim is to guarantee the recognition of a person’s disability outside of her/his country of residence thus facilitating access to services, benefits, and preferential treatments.
The Disability Card officially vouches the status of disability as certified by the competent public administrations. It is not a substitute for an I:D: therefore it must always be shown along with a valid I. D: (for foreign residents it is necessary to show a valid Residence Permit or a receipt for its renewal.)

The information related to the disability condition is contained in the QR Code found in the back of the card. This is exclusively to verify the cardholder’s disability while guaranteeing respect for his/her privacy.
On the front of the card you will also find a specific indication indicating the necessity for a greater level of assistance or services.
If a person’s condition changes with time, it is not necessary to apply for a new card given that the information contained in the QR Code is automatically updated on the basis of information received by the Social Security Agency (INPS.) In those instances when a person’s status changes due to the necessity for greater assistance or increased services, it is necessary to apply for a new card so that the relevant information will be reported on the front side of the card.

The Disability Card can be used:

  • In Italy as documentation of a disabled condition when dealing with governmental offices and public administrations. The card eliminates the necessity to carry around paper copies of the necessary documents

 

  • In Italy and in those other countries that recognize the European Disability Card (at the moment these include Belgium, Cyprus, Estonia, Finland, Malta, Romania and Slovenia,) to have guaranteed access to services, activities, goods, and benefits guaranteed by local regulations.
Greater Freedom of Circulation
One of the main advantages of the Disability Card regards mobility.
In many Italian cities the card gives you access to discounts, benefits or, in some cases, waivers of fares for public transport such as buses, subway or regional railway services, in accordance with the measures established by local authorities’ and those of public transport companies.

Amongst the most significant special measures is the one that Trenitalia makes available to those who have on the front of their card the indication that they must be assisted (letter “A”,) In addition to a discounted ticket, the assistant has the possibility of traveling for free throughout the national territory. This reduction is valid both for regional and national itineraries in accordance with the conditions set by Trenitalia.

These conditions can vary based on the type of trains and local territory, for this reason it is always preferable to verify the actual regulations in effect for each public and private company in the area.

 

If you are in the Valle d’Aosta Region, it might be useful to consult this website:

Regione Autonoma Valle d’Aosta – Trasporti

Culture, Sport and Leisure Time

 

In addition the Disability Card allows free access, or at a reduced rate, to numerous places and cultural activities such as museums, archeological sites, theatres, exhibitions and events.

Many recreational and sport facilities participate in the program and offer discounts and benefits.

To consult the list of the services available in various areas, click below:

https://disabilita.governo.it/it/carta-europ ea-disabilita-ced/dove-utilizzarla/
The application for the Disability Card must be submitted via computer to the INPS website (online INPS portal) or via organizations that represent people with disability who are licensed to use the online procedure:
If the application is made on behalf of a minor, it must be presented by the person who is the parent, the legal guardian, or the foster family to whom the minor has been assigned (this applies for the whole time that the minor resides there.)

In general to apply you must have:
  • A recent passport size photo,
  • Paper documentation prior to 2010 given that they are not available in the digital archives,
  • Possible judicial rulings or other documentation regarding the condition of disability.
INPS automatically verifies if the requirements are met on the basis of the information already present in its files. Once the application has been approved the card is made by the Istituto Poligrafico and National Mint and it is mailed directly to the residence of the person who applied for it at the post office.

The request has to be fulfilled within 60 days from the date when the application was filed along with all the necessary information and documentation.

The Disability Card lasts a maximum of

10 years, but INPS can take it back before the end of that period if health conditions change. If the card is damaged, lost or stolen, you can request a new one on the INPS website. The new request automatically annuls the old card. In case of theft or loss remember to attach a copy of the complaint filed with the police.

Starting in December 2024 the Disability Card is available in its digital format on the App IO, in the area dedicated to personal I. D.
To use the digital version it’s necessary to:
  • Already have in your possession a Digital Card,
  • Have access to SPID or an electronic identity card (CIE.)
  • Have installed on  your  digital

devices the App IO.
The digital version contains the same information as the physical card, and it includes a QR Authentication Code that allows it to verify its validity.

The digital version is the same as the physical card, but it’s not a substitute. The physical version continues to be valid and can be used.

New European Pact – 12 June 2026

The new European rules on asylum and migration, known as the European Pact on Migration and Asylum, come into force. They reform the Common European Asylum System and introduce new procedures and standards for the management of applications for international protection and reception systems.

 

The introduction of border procedures, applicable to some asylum applicants, with shorter timeframes for examining applications and specific rules during their stay at border facilities, as well as reduced safeguards for asylum applicants.

Applicants coming from countries with an average recognition rate for international protection in the European Union of 20% or lower, except where exemptions provided by law apply. This procedure will also apply to people who provide false information or have submitted false documents to avoid identification, as well as to people considered a threat to public order. Applicants coming from a Third Country considered safe under the Procedures Regulation (former Article 42(1)(e), Regulation (EU) 2024/1348) will also be subject to an accelerated procedure.

The border procedure must, as a general rule, be completed within 12 weeks, plus a further 12 weeks for any immediate return procedure that may follow.

It means that, although the applicant is physically present on the territory of the Member State, they are legally considered not yet admitted to the territory of the Union for the purposes of examining their application.

No. Member States may adopt measures restricting the applicant’s freedom of movement during the procedure, in compliance with the conditions laid down by European law, particularly when the applicant is subject to a border procedure.

Yes. The Pact introduces a mandatory pre-entry screening, which includes identification, biometric data collection, health checks and security checks.

Member States must adapt their administrative and judicial procedures to the new European provisions and ensure adequate facilities and resources to meet the requirements established by the new Regulations and the new Directive.

FAQ – Disability Reform and Law 104: What Has Changed since 2026

The disability reform enacted on March 1, 2026,marks a profound change to the system that is applied in Italy to grant disability and legal disability status.

 

It was established by Legislative Decree 62/2024, and it put in place a new method to do a

 

  • Medical evaluation,
  • Disability level evaluation,
  • Produce a written record related to Legal Disability and Law 104.

 

The aim of the reform is to male the system less bureaucratic and to take in consideration not only the medical diagnosis, but also the impact that the disabled condition has on the everyday life of the disabled individual.

No. Currently the reform is in its

experimental phase. This means that:

  • In the provinces involved in the experimentation (see point 8) the new applications follow the new system of evaluation

The government’s goal is to extend the new system to all of the national territory by January 1, 2027

For this reason it is essential to verify which system is being used in the province where you will be filing the application.

The reform is being introduced gradually in numerous Italian provinces. The list of the provinces involved to date in the following:

 

Alexandria Ancona Arezzo Ascoli Piceno Asti

Bergamo Bologna Bolzano/Bozen

Brescia Brindisi Cagliari Caltanissetta

Campobasso Caserta Catania Catanzaro Chieti

Como

Cosenza

Crotone

Cuneo

Florence

Forlì-Cesena

Frosinone

Genoa

Isernia

La Spezia

Lecce

Macerata

Mantua

Massa – Carrara Matera

Messina

Milan

Palermo

Perugia

Piacenza

Pordenone

Potenza

Ravenna

Reggio Calabria

Rimini

Rome

Salerno

Sassari

Savona

Sondrio

Teramo

Terni

Turin

Treviso

Trieste

Udine

Venice Verona

Vibo Valentia

Vicenza

If you live in one of these provinces and are filing a new application, your situation will be evaluated according to the new assessment system. The government’s objective is to extend the new system to all of the national territory by January 1, 2027.

  • Undergo a Medical Visit

A general practitioner or specialist will fill out an introductory medical certificate and will send it online to INPS (Italy’s Social Security Services.)

 

The doctor is responsible for sending all of the documentation to INPS: You are responsible for:

 

  • Making the appointment

 

  • Bringing the relevant documentation

 

  • Saving the receipt.

 

This means that the application is automatically activated, and Social Security will immediately set it in motion. Thefore it’s no longer necessary to apply a second time after having obtained the medical certificate..

 

To know out how to find a general practitioner in Italy, consult FAQ – The Right to Health in Italy – JumaMap

  • Go to the Assessment Appointment

 

After the opening of the procedure, Social Security will summon you by sending a:

 

  • SMS

 

  • email

 

  • In certain cases, a regular letter

 

  • Via tour personal area on the INPS page

 

Usually you will receive:

 

  • Date of visit

 

  • Time of visit

 

  • Address (or method)

 

The assessment will consists of:

 

  • Medical visit (as before, but in accordance with the new criteria)

 

  • In certain cases there will be an assessment of documentation

 

The assessment takes in consideration:

 

  • State of health

 

  • Level of autonomy

 

  • Social life and employment history

This is why it is referred to as a multifaceted approach: a multidisciplinary team will assess not only the pathology, but must

also consider life’s reality, the desires of the individual and the barriers that he/she faces. The assessment, therefore, is not limited to calculating the percentage of the medical disability, but must consider all the dimensions that the individual experiences. This is the meaning of a multidimensional assessment.

  • Get the Result


Instead of calculating a percentage of the disability as in the past, now the assessment classifies the need for assistance on the basis of four levels of intensity based on international criteria ICF (International Classification of Functioning):

  • Light: Needs a low level of support.

  • Medium: Needs moderate assistance.

  • Intensive (Elevated): Associated with a serious limitation of autonomy.

  • Intensive (Very Elevated): There is a lack of autosufficiency that calls for constance assistance.


Condition’s Recognition

The final certificate establishes if you are a person with disability. Depending on the gravity found (light, medium, elevated or very elevated), the assessment gives you the right to:

  • Finalcial Benefits. They replace the old pensions and compensation. If the assessment finds a disability with an elevated or very elevated need for assistance, the payments will automatically be set in motion (such as care allowance payments or incapacity allowance.)
  • Fiscal and working benefits: A favorable outcome guarantees access to days off from work (former Law 104,) tax breaks for cars or other technical supports and an allowance to purchase the necessary assistance tools.

 

The evaluation outcome will be automatically placed in your Electronic Health Record (EHR) that digitally contains your overall health history (your medical records.) It’s possible for you to view the file by using your electronic identity card (CIE) or SPID (Public Digital Identity System).

 

To view your Digital Medical Records click here!

 

In summary, what will you get?

 

You will receive a digital document that certifies your status as a person with disability. This is the only document necessary.:

  1. You will receive from Social Security (INPS) an economic allowance or subsidies.
  2. The Revenue Agency will accept your tax deductions.
  3. You will be able to avail yourself of social services in the municipality where you reside

The Legislative Decree 62/2024 wants to:

 

1. Eliminate the confusion between proceeding for Legal Disability and Disability:

 

  • The Legal Disability Proceeding assesses the level of reduced working capacity (it’s expressed in percentages, I.e. 74%, 100%). It serves primarily to receive financial subsidies in the form of checks or pensions, and tax deductions.
  • Disability Proceeding (Law 104/92:) are held to assess and validate a physical, mental or sensorial handicap (legal disability, blindness, deafness, deafblindness,) and the eventual necessity for assistance to be given to the disabled individual (social assessment, Law 104/1992.)

 

2. Consolidating the Two Proceedings

With the reform 62/2024 there will no longer be separate proceedings, a sole certificate will be issued that will describe the level of disability.

3. Introducing a New Terminology

 

The decree abolishes the terms “invalidity,” “handicap,” or “differently abled” in all ordinary legislation, replacing them with “Individual with disability.”

 

4. Have an “Individual Life Project”

A positive assessment of the request compels, upon request, the local administration (municipality and health department) to set in motion an Individual Life Project, a personalized plan that coordinates all assistance (financial, social and medical,) that an individual will need.

With the reform the approach to the assessment changes.

 

In the past checks were aimed at primarily

verifying the level or percentage of disability, calculated in accordance with tables that linked each pathology to an already established percentage.

Instead the new system will also take into consideration the impact the condition has on the life of the person, including:

  • Individual autonomy
  • Capacity to work
  • Social Interactions
  • Difficulties encountered during daily activities

The goal of this approach is to assess disability in a manner that is more realistic while putting the individual at the center.

Yes.

 

The new way that the assessment is made takes into account the actual barriers that an individual must face in his/her daily existence.

 

For example: a person who has a good level of self-sufficiency could get a different assessment than an individual with the same diagnosis but with a greater need for assistance and support,

One of the reform’s objectives is to introduce a sole authentication for disability.

 

In the future a sole proceeding could be valid for a variety of services such as:

 

  • Legal disability

 

  • Application of Law 104

 

  • Other measures of assistance and support.

 

The intent is to simplify the guidelines for individuals with disability and his/her family by reducing:

 

  • Repeated medical visits

 

  • Waiting periods

 

  • Bureaucratic procedures.

The reform does not automatically change the requisites for being granted disability status.

 

In particular:

 

  • The medical standards have not changed

 

  • The economic compensation has not changed

 

  • Higher percentages are notguaranteed.

    What changes is the assessment process with the objective of taking into account all aspects of a person’s life.

To apply for the granting of legal disability

or Law 104 you must:

 

1. Have up to date medical records and detailed medical authentication

 

Bring to the doctor:

 

  • Up to date medical records from appropriate specialist

 

  • A correct diagnosis (better if recent)

 

  • Hospital records

 

  • Records from previous proceedings.

 

The documentation must be clear and legible, in Italian, and must describe how the disability impacts on your daily existence

2. Describe to the doctor your situation in depth, the difficulties you encounter in your daily life and,

if relevant, the social and working limitations you have to endure.

The doctor (general practitioner or specialist) will write a certificate therefore it’s important for you to communicate:

 

  • All pathologies (if necessary more than 1)

 

  • An accurate description of your symptoms

 

  • Practical hardships (walking, working, self-sufficiency, etc.)

 

NB: Do not minimize your condition, the assessment outcome is also based on your description.

3. Be Sure of the Administrative Requirements

 

Before applying, make sure that:

  • You have a fiscal code and valid ID

 

  • Your are a resident in Italy

 

  • Have a SPID/CIE (useful to follow up.)

4. Have Extra Documentation Ready

 

If it is relevant have:

 

  • If employed, a work certificate

 

  • If a minor, a school certificate

 

  • Reports from social workers or health aides.

This documentation is useful to arrive at the overall in depth assessment that the reform requires.

The reform foresees that at the end of the experimental phase, the new system will go into effect throughout Italy on January 1, 2027.

 

In the coming months several aspects will be monitored, among these:

 

  • Waiting period for visits

 

  • How are the reports written

 

  • Impact on financial and welfare services.

 

Why Does it Matter to Be Well Informed?

 

During the transition phase the procedures can change from province to province.

Knowledge of the changes introduced by the reform and the correct preparation of the documentation can help your family and

you to apply in a more informed fashion.

Given that the reform is still in the process of being implemented, our advice is to keep track of developments to make sure that it will actually go into effect in January 2027.
