Castel Volturno repatriation center opposition

Overview

Opposition to the proposed construction of a 120-place Centro di Permanenza per il Rimpatrio (CPR) in Castel Volturno, Italy, has intensified. The project, estimated to cost approximately 43 million euros, faced a planned national demonstration on October 24, 2026. Religious leaders, NGOs, and civil society groups, including ActionAid, argued that funds should be redirected toward housing, healthcare, and education rather than administrative detention.

Following the protests, local unions and political figures have voiced further criticism. Ferdinando Palumbo of CISAL Caserta stated the facility contradicts long-term development goals for the Domitio coast, suggesting investments should instead focus on tourism and infrastructure. Additionally, regional councilor Raffaele Aveta of the Five Star Movement noted that the facility risks aggravating social tensions and highlighted that the regional council has already approved a motion against the project.
