Spain-Italy

The coverage reported that Spain introduced temporary border checks on travellers from Italy, in response to Italy's earlier imposition of similar checks on travellers from Spain. The dispute originated from a surge of migrants into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta, where tens of thousands of people swam from Morocco. Italy said its measures were based on security concerns, while Spain accused Italy of political point-scoring. The checks involve extra security and document spot checks for air and sea travel, potentially causing delays during the tourist season. The measures represent a partial suspension of the Schengen free-movement arrangements. The BBC NEWS provided additional details, including that Spain's checks apply to Italian citizens as well as third-country nationals, while Italy's checks apply only to non-EU citizens. It also reported that Italy's measures are set to last until at least mid-August, and that Spain's are for a month. The BBC NEWS also noted political context in Italy, including an upcoming election and a far-right challenger.
