🚫 EU COURT BLOCKS ITALY'S MIGRANT PLAN IN ALBANIA

Italy’s controversial plan to process migrants in Albania has been dealt a major setback after the EU Court of Justice ruled that Italy’s definition of a “safe” country violates EU law.⚖️

The plan, backed by the Italian government as a way to ease pressure on domestic asylum systems, involved outsourcing migrant processing to external facilities in Albania. But the EU court said the move risks undermining asylum protections and fails to meet EU legal standards.🌍

The ruling is a blow to Italy’s broader migration policy and raises fresh questions about how Europe should balance border control with human rights obligations. Meanwhile, rights groups are welcoming the decision as a win for migrant safety and legal integrity.🚶‍♂️🛂

💬Insight: Outsourcing migration isn’t just a logistical issue, it’s a legal and moral one. Europe’s migration future may depend on cooperation, not quick fixes that sidestep core protections.

❓Should EU nations invest more in shared, humane processing solutions within the bloc instead of exporting the issue abroad?
