The proposed European Asylum Regulating Regulation, particularly concerning repatriation, raises significant concerns regarding violations of EU values, human rights, and the rule of law. Medical professionals risk being forced into roles of migration control, which compromises their professional duty and the patient’s trust. The text argues that such measures treat individuals as mere cargo to be moved, stripping them of their humanity. Furthermore, the establishment of “return hubs” outside EU territory is criticized as a deportation logic, creating inherently pathogenic environments that pose serious risks to both individual and public health, as evidenced by Italian reception centers. These policies undermine the fundamental right to health by prioritizing security concerns over human dignity. To oppose this, the author urges a strong, institutional denunciation from medical orders and scientific societies, alongside public mobilization, and warns against professional complicity in such rights-violating facilities.
