Meloni's Immigration Challenge

Published: 2024-10-19

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni faces challenges in addressing illegal immigration, a key issue for her administration.

Despite previous promises to halt illegal immigration, Meloni hesitated to make firm commitments, reflecting past disappointments and failed attempts.

Meanwhile, a recent operation saw twelve migrants intercepted near Lampedusa and swiftly transferred to Bari, Italy, after being temporarily held in Albania.

This discreet transfer contrasts with Meloni's earlier announcements of innovative solutions, highlighting ongoing tensions between the government and judicial authorities over immigration policies.

The situation underscores the complexity and sensitivity of managing immigration in Italy.
