President Meloni’s condolences on the passing of Pope Francis
Pope Francis has returned to the home of the Father. We are deeply saddened by this news, as a great man and great shepherd has left us. I had the privilege of enjoying his friendship, his advice and his teachings, which never ceased, not even in times of trial and suffering. In his Via Crucis meditations, he reminded us of the power of the gift, which makes everything blossom anew and is capable of reconciling what in the eyes of man is irreconcilable. And, once again, he asked of the world the courage to change course, to follow a path that “does not crush, but cultivates, repairs and protects”. We will walk in this direction, to seek the path of peace, pursue the common good and build a more just and more equitable society. His magisterium and his legacy will not be lost. We bid farewell to the Holy Father with our hearts full of sorrow, but we know he is now in the peace of the Lord.

Statement by President Meloni on EU list of safe countries of origin
It is with great satisfaction that I welcome the proposed EU list of safe countries of origin presented by the European Commission, which also includes, among others, Bangladesh, Egypt and Tunisia. I consider the proposal to bring forward the entry into force of some elements of the Pact on Migration and Asylum equally as positive, particularly the possibility to designate safe countries of origin with exceptions for certain regions and certain categories of individuals, and to apply the 20% threshold. These are in fact cases that allow accelerated border procedures to be activated for migrants arriving from certain nations, as provided for by the Italy-Albania Protocol. This is further confirmation that the direction charted by the Italian Government over these years is the right one, and of the support of an increasing number of European nations. [...]
