Spain limits border with Italy
Spain has imposed temporary border inspection measures in response to similar actions taken by Italy following a surge of migrants heading to Ceuta. These measures will begin at midnight on Saturday and last until September 7. They include verifying passports, nationality, and visa status for arrivals from Italy, including Italians and visitors, as part of efforts to address irregular migration pressures. This comes amid tensions between the two countries, as Italy recently suspended the Schengen Agreement temporarily and imposed a ban on maritime and air travel with Spain, after more than 72,000 migrants crossed from Morocco into Ceuta. The move sparked European and international criticism, along with protests from the Spanish government, which considered Italy’s measures unfair and discriminatory.
