ANSAIndependentCenterFactual 85Objective 7014 days agoThe Italian government has stated that there are no 'Dubliners', migrants who arrived in Europe before June 12, 2026, to be repatriated from Germany under the new European Migration Pact. This follows Germany’s announcement that it expects Italy and Greece to resume transfers of migrants under the Dublin Regulation, which determines which EU country is responsible for processing an asylum application. The situation has become more complex for Italy after the crisis in Ceuta reopened debates over migration policies across Europe. Germany’s move appears politically motivated, especially ahead of regional elections in Saxony-Anhalt in September, where the far-right AfD is leading. Italy argues that any future repatriations would require compensation for irregular migrants arriving in Italy via vessels registered in other European countries, many of which are German.

ANSAIndependentProgressiveFactual 85Objective 7015 days ago Republic, 'Germany will expel migrants to Italy'The Italian newspaper Repubblica reports that Germany plans to expel migrants back to Italy, citing the Dublin Regulation. According to the article, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has decided to strictly apply the rules, particularly against Italy, after recent polls showed rising support for the AfD party. The first asylum seeker to be expelled will be a 22-year-old Somali woman named Abdirisaq Warsame, who arrived in Germany via Italy in March. Under the Dublin Regulation, she was supposed to file her asylum request in Italy. Despite a previous agreement between Rome and Berlin in December 2025 to cancel past cases, Germany now intends to enforce the rules strictly, aiming to transfer asylum seekers to Italy and Greece starting June 12. The German Interior Ministry claims that Warsame is under Italy’s jurisdiction and that there are no grounds for her to seek asylum in Germany. A letter sent to her in early June informed her of the planned expulsion, which will take place on August 19.

OpenIndependentProgressiveFactual 85Objective 7015 days agoThe article discusses the ongoing European migration crisis, focusing on the dispute between Italy and Germany over the Dublin Regulation. Under the new asylum reform (Geas), individuals arriving in the EU first must apply for asylum in the country of first arrival. The Italian government, led by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, has suspended the Dublin mechanism since December 2022, blocking thousands of asylum seekers from being relocated back to Italy. Now, Germany is preparing to strictly enforce the Dublin Regulation, requiring those who arrived in Germany to be sent back to Italy or Greece. This comes amid rising support for the far-right AfD party in Germany. The situation highlights tensions within the EU over immigration policies and the potential impact on future asylum procedures.

Migrants, Germany's hard line: expulsions to ItalyThe article discusses growing tensions between Germany and Italy over the handling of asylum seekers, particularly focusing on the strict application of the Dublin Regulation. According to reports from La Repubblica, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, under pressure from rising support for the far-right AfD party, has decided to enforce the Dublin system more strictly. This means that individuals who arrive in the EU through another member state, such as Italy, are required to submit their asylum applications there. The article highlights a case involving a Somali woman named Abdirisaq Warsame, who arrived in Germany via Italy but submitted her asylum request in Germany. The German Interior Ministry now claims she falls under Italian jurisdiction and intends to deport her back to Italy. Despite a previous agreement between Rome and Berlin in December 2025 to reverse past practices, the German government is now pushing forward with stricter enforcement of the rules. The situation raises concerns about potential diplomatic friction and the effectiveness of the new European asylum reform.

ANSAIndependentCenterFactual 60Objective 857 days ago Who are the 'duplicants', numbers and rulesThe article explains the concept of 'dublinanti,' which refers to asylum seekers who initially apply for protection in one EU country under the Dublin Regulation but then move to another state to make a new application. According to the regulation, these individuals must be returned to their first point of entry, where the initial asylum request was processed. The article highlights that countries like Italy and Germany are central to this process, with Italy receiving the most requests to repatriate migrants from other EU states in 2025, though few were accepted. Germany, on the other hand, sent more transfer requests, resulting in more successful transfers. The article notes ongoing tensions between Italy and Germany over the interpretation of the European Migration Pact, which came into effect in June 2025. Italy claims the pact has led to a suspension of counting migrants arriving before June 12, while Germany insists that three migrants who arrived prior to that date should still be repatriated. The pact maintains that the responsibility for processing asylum remains with the first country of arrival but accelerates the transfer process and allows for exceptions such as family

Germany: 'Surprised by the clamor for the Dubliners to be deported to Italy, part of the agreement with Rome'The Italian government has faced criticism over its strict stance towards Spain regarding asylum seekers, as Germany begins repatriating 'Dublin applicants' who entered Italy but were processed in Germany. This move has been interpreted by some as a propaganda effort ahead of regional elections in Saxony and a retaliation against Italy’s lack of solidarity under Prime Minister Meloni. The spokesperson for Germany’s Interior Ministry expressed surprise at the controversy and emphasized that both Germany and Italy have been collaborating effectively on migration issues. They clarified that bilateral agreements signed in autumn 2025 with Italy and Greece will see the Dublin Regulation reactivated upon the implementation of the EU’s common asylum system in June 2026, leading to expulsions back to Italy. The current cases involve those who arrived after the new EU pact came into effect.
Bias read (Progressive): The article frames the German action as a retaliatory measure against Italy’s perceived lack of solidarity, implying a negative assessment of Italy’s policies.

Why objectivity (35): The tone suggests some level of criticism towards the Italian government, implying a political stance. The article frames the situation as a response to Italian policies, which introduces bias despite being presented as a news report.
