The Government is threatening retaliation against Italy if it does not withdraw border controls on travellers from Spain
El Ejecutivo manda un ultimátum a Meloni y aplicará medidas recíprocas a partir de este domingo si Roma no acaba con las restricciones
The diplomatic crisis between Spain and Italy is getting worse: the Government has decided to raise the tone with Rome after Giorgia Meloni's Executive introduced border controls on citizens from Spain last week due to the massive entry of immigrants in Ceuta. The Spanish Government is now responding forcefully and warns the Italian Government that if it does not lift these restrictions before this Sunday, "Spain will be forced to adopt proportional measures to protect the interests and dignity of its citizens".
Last year alone, more than 11 million people travelled to Spain from Italy by plane, according to data collected by Aena.
