Primer día de control a los viajeros procedentes de Italia: la policía pide la documentación a solo el 5% o 10% de los pasajeros
Los registros se han iniciado en Barajas y El Prat y se han ido extendiendo durante la mañana a los de Málaga, Sevilla, Bilbao, Alicante y Valencia
On Saturday, a hundred National Police agents took part in border controls established for travelers from Italy, according to Interior Ministry sources. The deployment follows the government's decision, taken late Friday, to temporarily reinstate checks at Spanish airports and ports with direct flights to the country. The measure came into effect at midnight on Saturday and will initially remain in place until the same time on September 7, though the period could be altered based on the situation's development.
Spain re-established the border controls after the Giorgia Meloni government rejected lifting the ones it applies to travelers from Spain, following a massive influx of migrants in Ceuta, a territory that, however, does not practically belong to the Schengen area, as all travelers wanting to go from there to the Peninsula are required to provide documentation.
