Spain Starts Border Checks On Italy Over Ceuta

France24 World · world

Spain has initiated border checks on travellers arriving from Italy in response to similar measures imposed by Rome. This action stems from Italy's controls following a migrant influx into Spain's North African enclave of Ceuta. Madrid claims most migrants were returned and accuses Italy of permitting continuous irregular migration. The EU has stated these restrictions are temporary and will not permanently affect the Schengen zone.
