Dublinanti, Kelany against Schlein: “She doesn’t know or lies”. FdI exposes the dirty game of the Pd | Libero Quotidiano.it

“The left is trying to create confusion about the so-called ‘dublinanti‘, mixing the suspension of Schengen, secondary movements, and the new European Pact on migration. In reality, these are different phenomena and rules and there is no emergency related to an alleged mass return of migrants to Italy.” From Brothers of Italy it is Giangiacomo Calovini, deputy and head of the Foreign Affairs Committee group in the Chamber, who comments on the decision of Finland and Sweden to send migrants back to Italy in compliance with the new EU Pact and especially to respond to the opposition voices from the PD (through a revived Elly Schlein) to the Five Star Movement (interrogation at the Interior Ministry) passing through Avs and +Europe who are fanning the flames.

“The real novelty is the new European Pact, supported by the center-right, which introduces stricter border controls and faster procedures for repatriations, also easing the burden on states under migratory pressure – Calovini emphasizes -. The results of the Meloni government’s action are already evident: landings have collapsed by 82% in the first seven months of 2026 compared to 2023 and about 5,300 repatriations. This is what the left does not want to acknowledge: for the first time in years, Italy is contributing to changing European immigration policy, defending borders and combating illegal immigration.”

As mentioned, the number of chancelleries announcing the intention to transfer – or the completed transfer – of the so-called “dublinanti” to Italy is growing. After Germany, Switzerland, and Austria, today the governments of Finland and Sweden have joined, intending to “apply the rules as provided” by the new EU Pact on asylum and migration, which came into force on June 12, and to expect that “all member countries fulfill their obligations.” Including Rome. According to Eurostat data from 2025, Rome has been asked to readmit over 24,000 people who, having landed in Italy, then headed towards Northern Europe.

Unlike the Nordic countries, at the moment France – informed sources in Paris say – has decided “not to join the countries” that are sending migrants back to Italy, at least “as long as this phase of collaboration and rapprochement” with Rome continues. The two countries – the sources explain – “share the will to work to reduce flows departing from Tunisia and Libya.” The requests provided by the new Pact do not concern only Italy but all first arrival countries for migrants, such as Greece or Spain. Sources from the Madrid Interior Ministry – which in 2025 was responsible for just over 10,000 “dublinanti” – have reported wanting to manage the issue through the European solidarity mechanisms provided by the agreement, “rather than resorting to expulsions or isolated bilateral restrictions.”

The affair inevitably rekindles the controversy in Italy, already erupted after the Ceuta crisis and the Schengen war with Spain, which the Democratic secretary Schlein considers “a spectacular boomerang of Giorgia Meloni’s propaganda stunt. Due to her blind ideology, she has never carried forward the most important battle to be fought in Brussels in the national interest: that on European solidarity, including on reception,” said the PD leader. Giuseppe Conte mocks the premier’s “masterpiece”: “Repatriations work, but against us,” wrote the Five Star leader on social media. Also, Matteo Renzi talks about Meloni’s “own goal”: “She broke European solidarity and now we have to deal with the fallout,” accuses the Iv leader.

“The left’s campaign on the so-called ‘dublinanti’ is really pathetic,” replied Carlo Fidanza. “There is no link between the suspension of Schengen due to the Ceuta events and the legitimate choice of some European countries to reactivate the relocations of the dublinanti,” explained the FdI delegation leader in the European Parliament, arguing that “the issue concerns a small number of cases that occurred between August 2025 and June 11, 2026” and that “for those who entered after June 12, the number of potential relocations will drastically decrease.” “The Meloni government – he concluded – defends the borders, reduces landings, and increases repatriations while the left continues to make propaganda about nothing.”

“On the issue of the dublinanti, evidently Elly Schlein either does not know how the new Migration and Asylum Pact works, which introduces greater sharing of responsibilities among member states with mandatory solidarity mechanisms, therefore more advantageous rules, or lies knowingly,” cuts short Sara Kelany, head of the FdI Immigration Department. “Since October 2022, this government has rejected a total of 80,000 requests for taking charge of migrants landed in Italy who then moved to other countries with the so-called secondary movements. With the left in government, the scenario would have been very different, since the model is the open doors of Sanchez who wanted the regularization of hundreds of thousands of irregular migrants. The suspension of Schengen with Spain was a necessary act to protect national security and is allowing us to avoid irregular migrants flooding into Italy whom the Spanish government has culpably allowed to enter European borders. Today in Europe, the ‘Meloni model’ is talked about for combating irregular immigration. The Italian left instead continues to dream of the ‘Sanchez model’, whose effects are visible to all of Europe.”
