In Meloni's Italy, 'Remigration' Advocates Launch Offensive

The concept of "remigration," advocating for the mass expulsion of immigrants and naturalized citizens, is gaining traction in Italy's political landscape, moving from the fringes of the far-right towards the mainstream.

A committee named Remigrazione e Riconquista recently held a rally near Milan to promote its proposed law. This legislation calls for the deportation of irregular immigrants and naturalized Italians convicted of crimes. It also includes a bonus to encourage voluntary departures.
