Meloni Accused of Election Fear Over School Migrant Cap

Italy's government has approved a decree capping newly arrived migrant students at 30% of classrooms and banning burqas and niqabs in schools, effective 2027-28. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni calls the measures commonsense integration tools, but critics say she is courting far-right voters ahead of next year's election amid a challenge from Futuro Nazionale.
