The Spanish government on Friday threatened Italy with countermeasures if Rome does not lift by Sunday the checks on people arriving from Spain. Madrid is demanding a return to Schengen-area rules and the restoration of free movement of people. SITA ↗
Italy suspended the application of Schengen rules for travelers from Spain for one month. The measure was introduced in response to the migration crisis in Ceuta, the Spanish enclave in northern Africa. According to available information, Spain considers the checks on its citizens discriminatory and is demanding their swift end. teraz.sk ↗
Tensions between Madrid and Rome are thus rising after the events on the border with Morocco. According to data from the Moroccan interior ministry, 11 people died on the Moroccan side of the border, 10 of them by drowning. Morocco also announced that it is ready to cooperate with Spain and other European countries in identifying unaccompanied minor migrants in order to enable their return. According to available information, more than a thousand such minors remain in Ceuta. hnonline.sk ↗
The consequences of the crisis have also affected other areas. FC Barcelona has canceled a friendly match it was due to play on August 15 in the Moroccan city of Tangier, citing uncertainty after the migration crisis in Ceuta. Further developments will depend on whether Italy lifts the checks on travelers from Spain by Sunday, or whether Madrid proceeds with the announced retaliatory measures. SITA ↗
