Feijóo Praises Meloni's Migration Strategy

Published: 2024-09-20

Alberto Núñez Feijóo, leader of Spain's Popular Party, has expressed admiration for Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's approach to curbing illegal immigration.

During a meeting in Rome, Feijóo highlighted Italy's success in reducing migrant arrivals by over 60% this year, contrasting with Spain's increase.

Meloni's strategy involves agreements with countries like Tunisia and Libya to control migrant flows and the establishment of detention centers in Albania.

Feijóo, however, refrained from commenting on specific measures, emphasizing a pragmatic approach to immigration without ideological labels.

He advocates for a united European front against irregular migration, urging collaboration beyond political ideologies.
