In recent days, there has been an increase in requests to transfer migrants from non-first arrival countries to Italy. This situation has been reported by various sources in the context of managing migration flows within the European Union.

In particular, the Netherlands has announced that it will return migrants to Italy who arrived in the country after June 12. This will bring the total to six European countries that are carrying out such transfers, according to la Repubblica. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni addressed the concerns raised by opposition parties, stating that the new EU Pact will ensure adequate protections.
