Italy and France strengthen borders with Spain
Italy and France have tightened their border controls with Spain following a wave of mass crossings into the occupied city of Ceuta, where tens of thousands have entered the city in recent days, most of them young people and minors from Morocco. Italy announced the start of screening procedures at its air and sea borders with Spain to target travelers from outside the European Union, while France enhanced its border surveillance with Spain by deploying 334 police and gendarmerie personnel at crossing points. European pressure is mounting, with Italy calling for the suspension of Spain’s membership in the Schengen Area; Madrid rejected this, reaffirming its commitment to border protection. According to Spanish authorities, more than 48,000 people have returned to Morocco, while representatives of Ceuta estimate that around 60,000 individuals have entered the city, roughly 70% of its population, amid escalating discussions about the migration crisis and its impact on the European Union.
