Italy and Albania's Controversial Migration Accord Raises Concerns
TL;DR Summary
Italy has signed an agreement with Albania to build two detention centers in Albania to house migrants attempting to reach Italy. The centers, set to open next spring, aim to process up to 36,000 people annually. The move comes as Italy's far-right government faces pressure to limit illegal migration, with over 145,000 people reaching Italy's shores this year. The deal has been criticized by human rights groups, who argue that it undermines EU solidarity and raises concerns about access to asylum and basic rights in a non-EU territory.
