Spain has warned that it could retaliate if Italy fails to remove border controls introduced after the Ceuta crossings. Spanish officials described Italy’s border action as “unjustified” following last week’s mass crossing of migrants from Morocco. The dispute centers on Italy’s response to the migration episode and the continued controls. Spain’s warning adds pressure to the disagreement between the two countries over the border measures.
Spain said on Friday it could impose reciprocal measures on travellers arriving from Italy. The warning depends on Rome lifting its border controls by Sunday. Italy introduced the restrictions last week after a mass influx of migrants into Ceuta, the Spanish enclave. Madrid is therefore pressing Italy to remove the measures or face retaliation.
The Spanish government has urged Italy to remove its border controls by August 9 at the latest. Spain is threatening to take “proportional measures” if the controls remain in place. The demand highlights a dispute between the two governments over restrictions at their border.
U.S. President Donald Trump nominated a senior lawyer at the Federal Communications Commission on Friday. The nominee would serve on the five-member agency. The move comes as Trump presses the commission to revoke broadcasters’ licenses. The nomination therefore places an FCC personnel decision alongside his effort targeting broadcaster licenses.
