Italy halts Schengen Pact with Spain
Italy imposed restrictions on freedom of movement with Spain through the Schengen Agreement, following a surge of migrants into the Spanish-occupied city of Ceuta. This prompted the suspension of the free movement arrangements between the two countries. Now, flights and sea journeys will require travelers to present passports to enter Italy. The measures also included tightening border controls with France, while Morocco and Spain reinforced their border fences to prevent migrant crossings, leading to the drowning of 19 people during a wave of mass crossings. These events sparked European debates and threats from Italy to suspend the European Union agreements related to the open internal borders.
