Welcome to the Migration Update February 2025. This curated news selection brings together many of the most important developments in the migration policy area over the last month, including recent ones tied to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.

The purpose of these news summaries is to provide a factual base for migration debates within the European centre-right. Vít Novotný is responsible for the selection of information items from the media, governments and social media. The value of these summaries is in the categorisation of information items and in listing those items that readers might have missed. Facts and opinions are conveyed as they are reported. Original comments are kept to a minimum. These news summaries are not subject to a formal editorial process. Alessandro de Cicco and Gabriele Scalise prepared the material on the German election campaign. Scalise also researched the rulings by Italian courts on the Italy-Albania scheme. Tim Beyer-Helm submitted news items. Should you have any questions or comments, please contact Vít Novotný at vn@martenscentre.eu.
