ROME - Italy's conservative government said on Friday asylum seekers would be detained while their request for protection was processed unless they could pay 4,938 euros as a typeSaltWire's Atlantic regional weather forecast for September 22, 2023 | SaltWireROME - Italy's conservative government said on Friday asylum seekers would be detained while their request for protection was processed unless they could pay 4,938 euros as a type of bail.
However, it faces possibly insurmountable problems both in boosting deportations and building more detention centres. Here are some of the issues at play.In 2022 there were 3,916 repatriations to 55 different nations, including 2,724 who were forcibly removed on special charter planes. The vast majority were Tunisians. The next largest grouping were Egyptians and Nigerians .
Italy says the vast majority of those arriving here do not fall into these categories and are mainly economic migrants, meaning they are not eligible for asylum. Officials say the trouble is Italy has limited accords with non-EU nations for repatriations, which makes it hard to send migrants home.In recent years, various governments have signed bilateral readmission accords with various countries, including Tunisia, Egypt and Nigeria.
The government wants to double the number of centres and have at least one in each of Italy's 20 regions. It also plans to increase the amount of time foreigners can be detained to a maximum of 18 months from a basic three months at present.
