Italy Pushes EU to Suspend Spain From Schengen Zone

Italian officials said the surge shows uncontrolled migration threatens security and have urged broader Schengen action after about 49,000 migrants reached Ceuta in 24 hours.

  • 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.
