Rome, 9 July (LaPresse) – “We wanted to change the European approach to immigration, making it more practical, more responsible and more focused on citizens’ safety. The facts show that this direction is taking shape. The proposal for a new system of sanctions against criminal networks that exploit migrant smuggling is an important step towards this goal”. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni wrote this on social media. “Targeting these groups,” she emphasises, “means tackling the root cause of a phenomenon that profits from people’s lives, fuels insecurity and puts human lives at risk. Europe is finally moving in the direction that our Government has resolutely set out: to combat human traffickers and reaffirm the principle that migration must be managed, not simply endured.” “Italy will continue to work to ensure that Europe is able to defend its borders, combat criminal organisations and manage migration flows with responsibility and humanity, but also with firmness,” she concluded.
