Italy sends first migrants to Albania under new deal
ai generated text
Italy has established a new policy of transferring migrants to Albania while their asylum applications are processed. This move has been criticized by NGOs, who argue that Italy is shifting its migrant crisis to a poorer nation. The two reception centers in Albania, built by Italy, aim to deter irregular arrivals to Italy, but rights groups have condemned the plan, calling it a "cruel experiment" that undermines human rights. Italy has also sent a naval ship to Albania to deliver refugees and will process their asylum claims according to Italian procedures. The centers in Albania will only accommodate adult men, while vulnerable individuals, such as women, children, and the elderly, will be housed in Italy.
It is a new, courageous, unprecedented path, but one that perfectly reflects the European spirit and has everything it takes to be followed also with other non-EU nations.
No matter how you look at it, not only will the idea of opening a centre in Albania not be part of the solution, but it will become part of the problem.
The more migrants decide to undertake the journey, the higher the probability of being brought to Italy because the capacity of the Albanian centre is fixed.
From a legal point of view, we're in a gray area.
This deal is against human rights, more concretely the migrants' rights.
