Berlin takes a hard line on pushbacks. Rome: "No one to take back."

Germany has adopted a hardline stance regarding migration, signaling moves toward returning asylum seekers to Italy and Greece under the framework of the new European Pact on Migration and Asylum. Berlin has stated its intention to strictly apply the new regulations, pointing out that Rome was non-compliant by mid-July.

The enforcement of these measures highlights ongoing tensions within the European Union regarding the implementation of shared migration policies and the distribution of asylum responsibilities among member states.
