    Italy Refuses to Take Back Migrants from Germany

    Italy's Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini has announced that his country will not take back migrants from Germany despite new EU rules. Salvini justified this stance by criticizing German NGOs operating in the Mediterranean, which he claims bring thousands of 'illegal immigrants' to Italy's shores. The dispute between Rome and Berlin over the management of so-called secondary migration has escalated, with Salvini threatening to further block returns. Italy has not taken back any migrants from Germany since the new EU pact came into effect in mid-June and has rejected around 80,000 migrant return requests from other countries since 2023. A crisis meeting between Italian and German interior ministers is expected soon.
