Italy has decided to temporarily suspend Schengen free movement rights with Spain, both by sea and air, and reinstate border checks starting from August 1 for one month, following a large influx of migrants from Morocco into Ceuta, Spain's territory in North Africa. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni stated that the decision was based on the latest assessment of the migration and border security situation, with border police focusing on checking third-country nationals traveling from Spain to Italy to verify the validity of their travel documents within the Schengen area. Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said the measure is necessary to protect the safety of Italians and safeguard European borders, emphasizing that the treaty allows for such action and it is unavoidable under the current circumstances.
