Overview

• The Remigration Summit, a private gathering of 400 far-right activists, is taking place on May 17 at a secret location, possibly near Gallarate, to avoid disruption.
• Italian authorities confirm they cannot legally ban the event under constitutional protections for private assembly, despite widespread opposition.
• Danish extremist Rasmus Paludan was expelled upon arrival at Malpensa Airport, continuing Italy's efforts to block high-risk individuals from attending.
• Left-wing parties and civil society organizations are holding a major counter-demonstration in Milan’s Piazza San Babila to denounce the summit.
• The event highlights deep political divides, with the PD calling for a ban on what they label a racist gathering, while Matteo Salvini defends it as free expression protected by the Constitution.
