ORF NewsState / PublicConservativeFactual 90Objective 758/21/2026The Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni defended her migration policy despite growing numbers of European countries seeking to repatriate 'secondary migrants' back to Italy. She praised the new EU Asylum and Migration Pact (GEAS), calling it a 'positive turn' for Italy, and argued that the country benefits from the June-enacted rules. Countries like Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Finland, Sweden, and the Netherlands want to transfer asylum seekers who entered the EU through Italy but later moved to other member states. This follows the Dublin Regulation, which requires migrants to file asylum claims in the first EU country they enter. Italy argues that only those arriving after the EU asylum reform in June can be repatriated, and Meloni maintains this stance, claiming the new rules strongly protect the first entry state regarding asylum applications.
