Spain demands an EU meeting after Italy temporarily suspends the Schengen arrangement with Spain in connection with border controls around Ceuta. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez says Spain is “attacked” from within the EU and criticizes what he calls a “selfish” response. Sánchez argues that Spain has fully restored control over its border, responding to the situation that prompted the temporary suspension. The DW report frames the dispute as part of broader tensions among EU member states over migration management and the application of Schengen rules at external borders. Italy’s move is described as temporary, but it triggers calls from Spain for coordination at EU level. Spain’s position is that the measures taken by Madrid address the underlying concerns and that further restrictions by partners are unnecessary. The reporting indicates Spain wants an EU forum to discuss the circumstances and the way Schengen obligations and border measures are handled in cases involving Ceuta.
