The Lower House on Wednesday gave
final approval to Interior Minister Marco Minniti's decree on
migration-related issues.
The decree, which passed a confidence vote on Tuesday, got
the green light with 240 votes in favour, 176 against and 12
abstentions.
The legislation features the creation of new reception
centres for repatriation, cuts in the time asylum requests are
examined, the elimination of a layer of justice for appeals, the
option for asylum-seekers to do socially useful work and an
allocation of 19 million euros for the execution of expulsions.
