The Rome Court of Appeal has suspended the decision to return 43 migrants from Bangladesh and Egypt who had been sent to the Gjadër camp in Albania. This marks the third time such a ruling has been halted since the opening of these camps in Albania. A final decision from the European Court of Justice on the classification of safe countries is expected on February 25.

The handling of asylum seekers in Italy has sparked concerns among various organizations and political groups. Representatives from the Asylum and Immigration Forum have argued that the procedures being implemented do not align with international and European law. They have accused Italian authorities of violating asylum seekers’ rights and failing to provide them with proper legal protection.
Democratic Party Secretary Elly Schlein strongly criticized Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s government over its management of the situation, calling it a "major failure" and demanding the prime minister’s resignation. Schlein accused the government of misusing public resources and disregarding EU laws and decisions. According to her, the costs associated with this process have exceeded one billion euros, funds that, she argued, could have been better allocated to healthcare services.
This issue has intensified debates on migration policies and international protection, prompting discussions among various states and advocacy groups. It highlights the need for a clearer and more balanced approach to managing asylum seekers. Meanwhile, for the migrants awaiting their fate in Albania, the implications of this ruling remain uncertain, and their future depends on further legal decisions.
