Italy Suspends Schengen Agreement with Spain Amid Ceuta Migrant Influx

Italy Suspends Schengen Agreement with Spain Amid Ceuta Migrant InfluxPreviousNext

Italy's Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has threatened to suspend the Schengen Agreement with Spain following a surge of migrants entering the Spanish enclave of Ceuta from Morocco. Italy views the influx as a security threat and is convening government bodies to consider extraordinary measures, including border controls and deportations. Italy has since temporarily suspended Schengen travel with Spain for one month, with coordinated border controls agreed upon with France. Spain has rejected Italy's criticism, calling it politicization of migration issues amid reports of migrant deaths during the crossing.
