According to Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini, Italy will not take back migrants who continued to Germany after arriving in Italy, even after the introduction of new EU rules. The statement was made on Saturday, August 22, and deepened the dispute between Rome and Berlin over so-called secondary migration. svet.sme.sk ↗
Since mid-June, a new asylum and migration pact has been in force in the European Union, intended to regulate the responsibility of member states in assessing asylum applications. Salvini, however, claims that Germany has no right to send migrants back to Italy. He also justifies his position by pointing to the activity of German non-governmental organizations in the Mediterranean Sea. Welt ↗
The leader of the League party and Italian transport minister said that as long as German ships operate in the area and bring rescued people to Italian shores, Rome will not feel bound by the new rules. The dispute mainly concerns people who entered Europe through Italy and subsequently left for Germany.
Salvini presented his stance as part of a broader political line focused on Italy’s sovereignty in migration policy. Berlin and Rome therefore remain at odds over the interpretation of the new rules, while further developments will depend on whether a common approach can be found on migrant returns and operations in the Mediterranean Sea.
