Italian judges have rejected the government's latest attempt to hold asylum seekers in Albania, indicating judicial resistance to Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's controversial anti-immigration efforts. This decision, the third of its kind since the plan's inception in October, specifically concerns 43 migrants intercepted and relocated to Albanian centers by the Italian Navy. The Italian government aims to use these centers to expedite asylum claims, but the plan faces backlash from both human rights advocates and political opposition, who label it as both overreaching and expensive, undermining its goal to deter migration across the Mediterranean Sea.
The recent ruling marks another defeat for Italy's PM Giorgia Meloni's anti-immigration policy, reflecting an ongoing judicial resistance to her offshore asylum plan.
Human rights groups and Italian political opposition have criticized the government's plan, arguing it's illegal and burdensome, contrary to the intended deterrence of immigrant crossings.
