Summary
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni won the 2022 election by promising tougher measures against irregular migration. However, her flagship plan to process migrants in Albania has faced repeated legal challenges, limiting its effectiveness. At the same time, labor shortages and business demands have led her government to approve around 500,000 additional work visas for 2026–2029. While her migration policy has become more pragmatic than many supporters expected, it has also created political opportunities for more hardline figures, such as Roberto Vannacci, who advocates stricter immigration policies and the "remigration" of migrants.
