Italy extends Schengen suspension with Spain for 15 days
Italy's government under Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni extended its suspension of the Schengen free movement agreement with Spain for an additional 15 days, citing the persistence of factors that led to the original measures on August 1. The suspension was first imposed on July 31 in response to a migrant influx into the Spanish territory of Ceuta. Spain responded with its own border controls on passengers arriving from Italy and also extended that measure by 15 days.
