Spain does not forget the countries that turned their back on it – and has begun a revenge campaign

Spain has launched a revenge campaign against countries that turned their back on it during the migrant crisis in Ceuta, led by Italy. Madrid extended border checks at seaports and airports for travelers from Italy until October, in response to Giorgia Meloni's call to remove Spain from the Schengen Agreement.

Spain has launched a revenge campaign against countries that turned their back on it during the migrant crisis in Ceuta, which occurred about a month and a half ago. The first target is Italy, after its Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni called for Spain's removal from the Schengen Agreement – the European Union's open borders treaty. Meloni feared that migrants without passports would travel from Italy to the rest of Europe. In response, Spain extended border checks at seaports and airports for travelers arriving from Italy until October, and notified the European Union of the decision. However, the article notes that the Italian move was probably not relevant to the current crisis, as the removal process takes time and the idea was raised after tens of thousands of migrants had already crossed the border.
