Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni on Thursday called for Spain to be suspended from the European Union's border-free Schengen travel zone after thousands of migrants entered the Spanish enclave of Ceuta from neighbouring Morocco.
The demand came hours after Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani made a similar appeal, arguing that irregular migration posed a threat to national security.
"We are in the process of bringing together the competent bodies and, once these meetings are over, we are ready to act, including through exceptional measures... such as suspending the Schengen agreement with Spain," Meloni said in a post on X.
