Italy has unveils its new plan for migrant reception following the Italy-Africa
summit. The plan
provides €10 billion in European funding to seven African countries in exchange for stronger control at the borders and greater cooperation for the return of
illegal migrants – a deal quite similar to the one signed with Turkey in March. Furthermore, the implementation of new hotspots is planned, some of which will be floating hotspots so "no one can
escape," according to the Italian interior minister. This is an extremely worrying measure with regards to the enforcement of asylum seekers' rights.
