New Italian administration Accepting refugees Signs of mitigation of migrant policy only 15:12 on September 15
Italy, which has refused to accept migrants and refugees from the Middle East and Africa, confirmed the arrival of 82 refugees on the 14th. In Italy this month, a new administration has been launched, and attention has been focused on mitigation in immigration policy.
The Italian government officially authorized the rescue ship carrying 82 refugees to land at the port of Lampedusa in the Mediterranean on the 14th.
In Italy, under the coalition government established last year with the participation of the right-wing political parties, they have taken a strict approach to accepting immigrants and refugees, and have often refused rescue boats entering the Italian ports.
However, this month, the coalition government collapsed and the right-wing party dropped out, and a new coalition government, including the left-wing “Democratic Party”, was established instead.
About the acceptance decision, Minister Francischini tweeted, "I marked the end of the right-wing party propaganda for the hopeless people drifting in the sea," suggesting a change in immigration policy.
On the other hand, Foreign Minister Dimaio argued that the EU should accept the whole of Europe without imposing a burden on Italy, saying that the EU allowed the landing because it accepted most of the refugees.
UNHCR = Head of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, High Commissioner Filippo Grandi, tweeted that "there was positive progress" and expressed its intention to welcome Italy's immigration policy Attention has been paid to how will change.
