Sweden plans to send migrants to Italy, France and Spain reject Dublin transfers
After Germany, Switzerland, Austria, and Finland, Sweden now also plans to return to Italy migrants who moved north after landing there. Eurostat says 109,427 transfer requests were sent to Rome between 2023 and 2025, a potential boomerang for Meloni's government.

I mean... good? I'm all for supporting refugees but they've meant to claim asylum in the first EU country they arrive in, and then there's a documented process for distributing (for want of a better word) them around the EU. Once they're in the EU they're not fleeing anything any more.
Wonderful system...
