ITALY: Prime Minister offers to amend controversial ‘repatriation bonus scheme’ for asylum lawyers
Release Date

European Council on Refugees and Exiles (ECRE)
Summary
Italy is experiencing growing political and social tensions over migration policy. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has pledged to amend a controversial plan to pay lawyers for encouraging asylum seekers to accept voluntary repatriation, following strong criticism over ethical and constitutional concerns.
Far-right groups have promoted “remigration” at rallies, while large counter-protests have taken place. At the same time, Italy is expanding legal migration pathways through agreements with Tunisia to facilitate labor mobility.
Meanwhile, NGOs report increasing criminalization of individuals assisting migrants, raising concerns about restrictions on humanitarian efforts and civic space.
