European Union nations are adopting a stricter approach to immigration and asylum requests, particularly concerning illegal entry. Italy’s embassy in Dhaka has announced that individuals attempting unauthorized entry into Italy, often via Libya or other countries, will be denied access. This shift follows the implementation of new EU immigration and asylum laws, signaling a broader hardening of policies across the bloc. The changes aim to address the increasing challenges posed by irregular migration and the volume of asylum applications. The EU reviewed its immigration and asylum systems on June 12th, leading to these revised measures. These new regulations reflect a collective effort to manage borders and reassess the criteria for political asylum within Europe.
