The government of Giorgia Meloni has decided to bring 452 thousand foreign workers to Italy by 2025. A decision taken while many sectors are experiencing a crisis.
Giorgia Meloni, elected on the basis of a promise to fight immigration, and her government announced the return of 452,000 foreign workers to Italy by 2025. The leader of the Italian far-right promised, in every meeting, to prevent immigration. A year after his election, his government authorized these legal immigration quotas, the largest in twelve years.
Aging Italian population
The sectors concerned are agriculture, restaurants and fishing in particular. Trade is in tension and can no longer find workers due to the aging Italian population. For a Siena restaurateur who voted for Giorgia Meloni, the shift in her immigration policy makes sense: “There are a lot of foreign workers here, and I don’t see any problem welcoming them if they are working.”
