Premier Giuseppe Conte will propose
to French President Emmanuel Macron at their working lunch
Friday the idea of setting up migrant hotspots in their
countries of origin, Italian government sources said. They would
be set up not only in Libya but also in sub-Saharan countries
like Niger, the sources said, to close the migrant route to the
Mediterranean while at the same time safeguarding the lives of
migrants. The proposal, the sources said, aims to establish the
hotspots in the short term pending a reform, which Italy wants
to be radical, of the Dublin Regulation under which migrants are
registered in their country of arrival.
