Starting at the end of August, Switzerland will resume the transfer of migrants who arrived from Italy. A spokesperson has confirmed that the first flights have already been booked and that a gradual resumption has been agreed upon in collaboration with Rome.

This decision comes amid discussions regarding the context of migration policies in Europe. Concurrently, a case of church asylum in Nuremberg has drawn attention, involving a young Somali protected by German authorities.
