Spain introduces checks on travelers from Italy after Ceuta dispute
Videos
Spain is introducing checks on travelers arriving from Italy by air and sea in response to Rome's decision to temporarily restrict the Schengen regime with Spain over the migration crisis in Ceuta. Madrid's measure begins on Saturday night and follows an ultimatum in which the Spanish government demanded that Italy lift its checks. zpravy.aktualne.cz ↗
Rome rejected the ultimatum. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said that Italy does not take instructions from abroad on matters of national security, and the government is to continue the temporary suspension of Schengen rules at least until August 15. The dispute has thus escalated from the original response to the arrival of migrants in Ceuta into a direct diplomatic conflict between Madrid and Rome. Le Figaro ↗
The European Commission meanwhile stressed that Spain bears responsibility for ensuring that measures in Ceuta do not affect the Schengen area. EU Commissioner for Home Affairs and Migration Magnus Brunner said that people without the right to stay must be returned quickly and effectively without exception. The European Union had also previously praised Spain's swift response to the crisis.
Tensions may continue in the coming days. According to new information, Spanish intelligence services warn that calls for another mass attempt to cross the border in mid-August are considered credible. The crisis in Ceuta therefore remains a test of European migration policy and of trust among Schengen member states.
