Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni faces challenges in her government’s attempt to relocate migrants to Albania, following a recent ruling declaring the current system legally untenable. Despite amending laws to redefine ‘safe’ countries, Meloni’s plans remain unfulfilled as obstacles persist in establishing operational migrant centers in Albania. With significant political and financial investment at stake, the government claims judicial decisions are biased, while judges reaffirm their commitment to uphold both Italian and European law. The future of Italy’s migrant policy remains uncertain as tensions between the judiciary and executive escalate.
