Italy Threatens Schengen Suspension with Spain Over Ceuta Migrant Surge

Italy Threatens Schengen Suspension with Spain Over Ceuta Migrant SurgePreviousNext

Italian 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. Meloni described the situation as a security threat to Europe's borders and said Italy is convening relevant authorities to consider extraordinary measures, including border protection and deportations. Italian officials, including Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani, criticized Spain's migration policies, while Spain rejected these claims, accusing Italy of politicizing the issue amid reports of migrant deaths during the crossing.
