Giorgia Meloni's government has decided to bring 452,000 foreign workers to Italy by 2025. A decision that was made while many industries are in crisis.
Giorgia Meloni and her government were elected on a promise to fight immigration and announced the return of 452,000 foreign workers to Italy by 2025. The leader of Italy's far-right promised to block immigration at every meeting. A year after his election, his government nevertheless approved these legal immigration quotas, the highest in twelve years.
An aging Italian population
Agriculture, the hospitality industry and fishing are particularly affected. Occupations that are under tension and no longer find workers due to the aging of the Italian population. For a restaurateur from the city of Siena, who voted for Giorgia Meloni, the U-turn in her migration policy makes sense: “There are a lot of foreign workers at home, I don't see a problem with taking them in if they work.”
