Italia extinde suspendarea regulilor Schengen cu Spania pentru încă 15 zile

Italy has extended the suspension of Schengen rules with Spain for another 15 days, maintaining border controls due to security concerns. This decision follows a previous suspension initiated on August 1 amid a migrant crisis. Spain has responded with random checks on travelers from Italy. The Italian Interior Ministry based its decision on a security assessment indicating ongoing risks, including potential terrorist infiltration. The move has faced criticism from Madrid and Italian opposition parties, who argue it is politically motivated and unnecessary given the lack of a direct border between the two countries.
