Figures from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) appear to support Meloni's claim, showing that just over 21,000 would-be asylum seekers landed in Italy over the first five months of the year. This is compared to nearly 50,400 over the same period a year earlier, representing a decrease of 58.3 percent. Meloni said the decrease was due to diplomatic deals between Italy and Tunisia and Libya, the two main points of departure for refugees seeking asylum in Italy. According to news reports
