The agreement reached between the 27 member countries of the European Union on a key text for migration policy is a reason for “satisfaction for Italy”, since “Germany’s amendment was withdrawn and the Italian position was approved”. Thus, sources at Palazzo Chigi, who highlight how the agreement was reached thanks to “high-level negotiations”. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz enthusiastically commented to X: “Historic turning point.” “The agreement on crisis regulation as part of the European asylum reform is good news. The reform will effectively limit irregular immigration into Europe and permanently ease the burden on states like Germany,” he wrote on social media. Now, the German newspaper “Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung” also comments on the solution accepted by Germany that allowed reaching an agreement on the crisis management regulation of the European Union Pact on Migration and Asylum.
Berlin “hit the granite” of Rome with the agreement on the reform of the Common European Asylum System (CEAS), writes the newspaper. The executive led by the leader of the Brothers of Italy (FdI) managed to approve a reform of the Ceas with the migration crisis management mechanism that also applies during refugee rescue operations, conducted by non-governmental organizations in the Mediterranean Sea, “promoting waves of migrants”. The German government finances these interventions and intended to remove NGO activities from the application of Ceas anti-crisis regulations. However, several EU states, “happy that Meloni is in power in Italy” and not former German Chancellor Angela Merkel, “supported Rome”.
