Italy is reportedly violating EU law. Due to the refugees arriving via the Mediterranean, the capacities are exhausted, Italy justifies the stop.
Baume-Schneider will also discuss Switzerland’s financial contribution to Italian migration projects with the Italian Interior Minister. “Italy is not waiting for money from Switzerland,” said Baume-Schneider. The recording stop has domestic political reasons. “It’s about improving the situation and building a good relationship of trust with my colleague.”
