Spain will begin implementing temporary border controls on flights and ships originating from Italy starting at midnight on Saturday, and will continue until September 7, amid escalating tensions between the two nations regarding irregular migration. The Spanish authorities plan to conduct passport, nationality, and visa checks on Italian passengers, as well as on individuals from other countries who arrive in Spain via Italy.
The government's decision stems from ongoing irregular migratory pressures and will persist as long as Italy maintains comparable controls on arrivals from Spain.
Italy imposed these restrictions last week following the entry of 72,000 migrants into Spain's African territory of Ceuta from Morocco on July 30. Earlier on Friday, Spain had threatened to introduce reciprocal measures unless Italy lifted its border controls by Sunday. However, Italy refused to comply, stating that it would not yield to "ultimatums or impositions" and would maintain its controls on arrivals from Spain until at least August 15.
