Italy halts Schengen travel agreement with Spain following Ceuta migration surge
Italy has officially paused the EU’s open-border Schengen agreement regarding Spain, citing the recent influx of migrants into Ceuta. The Italian interior ministry confirmed it has also coordinated with Paris to tighten security measures at the French-Italian land border. Although Italy and Spain do not share a land border, this decision will affect individuals arriving by boat or aircraft between the two nations.
