PoliticsItaly condemns Spain’s ‘unacceptable’ border controls as Ceuta dispute escalates

Italy’s foreign minister has denounced Spain’s retaliatory checks on travellers from Italy as “incomprehensible and completely unacceptable.” The measures followed Rome’s decision to inspect travellers from Spain. Spain began spot checks on Italian visitors at midnight on Saturday, leaving people travelling between the two EU countries caught in the dispute. Rome introduced its checks after a recent influx of about 72,000 people into Ceuta, Spain’s territory in north Africa.
