Italy and Denmark unite against 'uncontrolled immigration'

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and Danish Premier Mette Frederiksen have issued a joint statement opposing "uncontrolled migration" into Europe. They argue that illegal immigration leads to higher crime rates and pressure on public services, and want to protect Europe's Christian cultural heritage. The leaders are pushing for tougher policies, including setting up repatriation centres in other countries and strengthening external borders.
