Migrationsstreit: Spanien verweigert zehn Personen aus Italien die Einreise
Der Streit über unerlaubte Einwanderung geht weiter. Spanien und Italien kontrollieren wieder ihre Grenzen. Beide Regierungen begründen die Maßnahmen mit Sicherheitsbedenken.
Madrid - Following the reinstatement of border controls for travelers from Italy, Spain has denied entry to ten individuals. The Spanish Interior Ministry announced this development late on Saturday. In total, 199 people were checked on the first day of the measure, spread across twelve flights arriving at Madrid, Barcelona, Seville, Bilbao, Alicante, and Valencia airports.
Spain had announced on Friday that it would maintain these controls until September 7th. The Spanish government's decision comes in response to a similar action taken by Italy in the dispute over unauthorized immigration. Italy suspended Schengen rules for border-free travel with Spain on August 1st, maintaining controls until at least August 15th.
The reason cited by Italy was the influx of 72,000 migrants to its North African enclaves of Ceuta on July 30th. Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani expressed hope that the suspension could be lifted soon, "once the danger has passed," as he told the newspaper "Corriere della Sera."
