Italy has decided to extend border controls for another 15 days on passengers arriving by plane and ship from Spain. The temporary suspension of Schengen between the two countries, introduced last August 1 due to the Ceuta migration crisis, was set to expire this Monday, August 31, but Giorgia Meloni’s government has ultimately chosen to maintain the measure until September 15. The initial intention of the Executive was to extend the controls for another month, but a two-week extension was finally chosen for technical reasons.

The PP has been quick to react to Pedro Sánchez’s words, who has once again exempted Morocco from the Ceuta crisis. The deputy secretary Juan Bravo has accused the Prime Minister of “surrender” to the neighboring country after Sánchez not only absolved Morocco of responsibility but also praised Rabat’s actions despite more than 70,000 immigrants entering through the border.

Moments of high tension at the gates of the Loma Colmenar Enclosure, one of the new reception centers that the Government has set up to accommodate the immigrants who remain on the streets of Ceuta. After more than a week during which a long line, with hundreds of people, waited their turn to occupy a bed, the parking lot doors were opened this Monday to accommodate more immigrants, causing a huge commotion in the area.
