Geflüchtete in Italien - Flucht und Migration an den Rändern Europas – ein Ausblick auf das gemeinsame europäische Asylsystem

borderline-europe arbeitet seit 2009 an der Außengrenze in Sizilien. Vielfach werden wir angefragt, auch Vorträge zu unseren Erkenntnissen der Arbeit vor Ort zu halten. Zwei dieser Vorträge, die wir im Mai 2024 in Palermo und online gehalten haben, möchten wir nun auch in diesem einfachen online Format weiteren Interessierten zugänglich machen. In einem Vortrag können natürlich nicht alle Vorgänge im Rahmen der Migrationspolitik ausführlich dargelegt werden, wir möchten aber mit dieser Verschriftlichung zumindest einen grundlegenden Eindruck der Situation in Italien und speziell in Sizilien vermitteln.

‘Unwanted’ - extraterritorialisation of border procedures and tightening of deportation regulations in Italy. Is resistance still possible?

On 11 March 2025, the EU Commission presented its new proposal for the Return Regulation. Deportation regulations are set to be significantly tightened, with renewed discussions around the establishment of so-called ‘return hubs’. Ursula von der Leyen, President of the Commission, is proposing that these detention centres for deportees should also be located in non-EU countries – qualified as so-called “safe third countries” (SCO) (art. 38, Asylum Procedure Directive). So is the Italian government's ‘Albania solution’ back on the table? In our previous article, we asked why Italy is putting so much emphasis on this expensive and, as we will see below, ill-conceived agreement between Italy and Albania. Looking again into the Italian situation, including the “current stop” to the implementation of the Italy-Albania protocol, the direct governmental attack to the autonomy of the judicial power, and the main challenges it entails for the rule of law, is essential to understand the recent policy developments at the EU level concerning asylum and returns.
