Italy Pushes EU to Suspend Spain From Schengen Zone

Italian leaders say irregular migration in Ceuta threatens national security as more than 1,500 people breached the EU border in a short window, officials said.

  • On Thursday, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni called for Spain to be suspended from the Schengen Area after thousands of migrants surged into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta from Morocco.
  • Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani argued that the Madrid Government's policy granting one-year residence to 500,000 irregular immigrants encourages trafficking and poses a danger to national security.
  • Spanish Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares summoned Italian Ambassador Giuseppe Buccino Grimaldi to protest, calling Tajani's remarks 'improper' for a partner country expecting European solidarity.
  • Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini advocated for suspending the entire Schengen system, as Italy fears the migration chaos could spread across the Mediterranean Sea to its territory.
