Italy and Spain agree to lift mutual border controls imposed after the Ceuta migrant surge
Italian Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi and Spanish Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska agreed on Thursday to simultaneously normalize their Schengen arrangements and lift border checks. Italy had suspended free movement from Spain on July 31 after roughly 70,000 people crossed from Morocco into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta in late July; Spain retaliated with checks on Italian travelers. The decision followed a meeting between Prime Ministers Giorgia Meloni and Pedro Sanchez at a European Council summit.
