European nation’s pivot toward conservatism brings staggering drop in illegal immigration

Italy’s conservative-led government has made significant progress in reducing illegal immigration, with a 64% drop in numbers. Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani emphasized the importance of combating human traffickers and criminal organizations involved in illegal immigration. Measures taken include financial deals with North African countries and a strong stance against illegal immigration. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni highlighted the need to fight traffickers and protect national security. The shift towards right-wing policies has been attributed to global instability, with the Italian economy showing signs of improvement under the current leadership.
