Meloni and Frederiksen urge stricter EU migration controls

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen have formed an unusual political alliance to advocate for stricter European migration policies. In a joint statement, the leaders rejected uncontrolled immigration, citing its links to increased crime, pressure on public services, and the erosion of social trust. They also called for the protection of Europe’s Christian cultural heritage and urged that migrants respect European values.

A central component of their proposal is the establishment of repatriation centers in third countries outside the European Union to facilitate more efficient deportations. This push for externalized asylum processing is echoed by European Parliament official Manfred Weber, who has called for the creation of Return Hubs in Africa and a significant strengthening of Frontex with 50,000 personnel.

The diplomatic tension is further heightened by the migration crisis in Ceuta, where a mass entry of migrants from Morocco has strained relations between Spain and Italy. Italy has implemented temporary border controls on travelers from Spain, prompting a response from Madrid. The European Commission has expressed hope that these internal Schengen border controls will return to normal if the situation in Ceuta stabilizes. Meanwhile, Spanish Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares has asserted that all irregular migrants entering Ceuta will be returned to Morocco.
