Tens of Thousands March in Rome for Mass Migrant Deportations

Thousands of Italians took to the streets of Rome today demanding remigration, calling for stricter immigration policies and the return of migrants to their countries of origin.

The rally, organized by groups like CasaPound Italia and Veneto Fronte Skinheads, started at 3 p.m. in Piazza della Libertà and pushed a popular bill with over 150,000 signatures calling for deporting irregular migrants and those seen as unintegrated. Lazio ultras led with flags and flares, while heavy police kept order amid nearby rival protests. Tens of thousands countered from unions and anti-fascist groups, dwarfing the event with anti-racism messages, highlighting Italy’s deep immigration tensions despite a 60% drop in arrivals under Prime Minister Meloni.

Make no mistake, it is a march against islamization.

Tens of Thousands Rally in Europe Over Migration Debate

Tens of thousands of demonstrators took to the streets in at least two European cities on Saturday, highlighting ongoing political divisions over immigration policies.

In Rome, thousands of people joined rival demonstrations, with one rally drawing anti-immigration activists and the other attracting supporters of migrant and refugee rights.

Meanwhile, in Belfast, Northern Ireland, thousands paraded to condemn a wave of anti-immigrant violence that erupted earlier this week. The unrest, which included riots, fires, and clashes with police, was triggered after a Sudanese asylum seeker was charged in connection with a stabbing attack that left a person with serious injuries.

Terminology and concepts like “remigration,” once largely confined to extremist political circles, is gaining renewed global prominence. Critics argue that in practice, the concept, which refers to the forced expulsion or return of immigrants, refugees, and at times ethnic minorities, can extend beyond undocumented migrants to include legal residents or even citizens, raising significant human rights concerns.

The proposal calls for measures aimed at reducing immigration, including incentives for some migrants to leave Italy and broader deportation policies. Parliament has not yet scheduled debate on the measure.

Several thousand supporters of the initiative and other anti-immigration groups gathered in Italy’s capital, singing the national anthem and carrying banners calling for stricter migration policies Saturday afternoon.

During the march, some participants gave fascist salutes and chanted “Duce! Duce!”—a reference to former Italian dictator Benito Mussolini.
