State of Emergency declared in Italy due to irregular migrants
In Italy, a state of emergency was declared for 6 months due to the ongoing influx of irregular migrants through the Mediterranean. More than 2,700 irregular migrants have been rescued in Italy since last Friday.
Italy took new measures within the scope of combating the ongoing influx of irregular migrants through the Mediterranean. At the suggestion of Nello Musumeci, Minister of Civil Protection and Maritime Policies of Italy, the government declared a state of emergency for 6 months across the country in order to combat extraordinary illegal immigrant attempts in the Mediterranean Sea.
Noting that they submitted the proposal upon the request of Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi, Minister Musumec said, "We gladly fulfilled the request of our Minister of Interior, who is well aware of the seriousness of these illegal immigration attempts, which amount to 300 percent."
With the state of emergency, it is aimed to provide a more effective and timely response in terms of the management of irregular migrants and their accommodation on national soil.
