“After the 15th we will see.” This is how Matteo Piantedosi dismisses the threat from Pedro Sánchez to Italy, following the latter’s suspension of Schengen. “Rather than saying that Europe risks similar assaults” on Ceuta, “Europe is acknowledging that the migratory phenomenon is no longer something that can be addressed without considering its epochal dimension,” begins the Interior Minister at ‘Bar Italia’, a tour by Brothers of Italy in Sorrento. The phenomenon “has been underestimated for too long and reduced to a problem that could concern individual member states, like Italy, which serve as the first frontier. In reality, this is not the case: the scenes that have been seen,” he emphasizes, “are the result of many issues coming to a head, namely a strong demographic imbalance, socio-economic imbalances that characterize countries with a strong migratory vocation and European countries.”

Pedro Sánchez threatens Italy: “We give you 48 hours, then we will take measures”
Spain threatens Italy. The Spanish government asks the Meloni executive to revoke by Sunday the 9th…
So “without raising alarms because we are not under siege,” it must be considered “that there is migratory pressure capable of producing those scenes,” therefore “we must learn from it.” Regarding the suspension of the treaty with Spain, “it is a temporary measure allowed by EU treaties, we will see after August 15. It is done selectively, there is no additional burden. There was a disproportionate reaction from our opposition because perhaps a country led by socialists cannot be touched.”
Ceuta, Moroccan bounties on rebellious Spaniards: “We want them, dead or alive”
Tension in Ceuta does not subside. After the migratory wave that overwhelmed the Spanish exclave in Morocco, now…
The minister then adds that it is “difficult to imagine that the conditions” to maintain the suspension “do not exist” since the same “Spanish intelligence has declared that a new alert for August 15” on Ceuta is well-founded. And shortly after comes the reply from Palazzo Chigi: “Italy does not accept ultimatums or impositions from abroad regarding national security and border control.” This is stated in a note. “We do not intend in any case,” it is specified, “to reconsider the decision to suspend the application of the Schengen agreement for third-country nationals coming from Spain, at least until August 15 and in any case until security and terrorism risks for Italy are completely excluded.” “On that date,” the government note adds, “as announced by the Spanish authorities themselves, a new migratory wave is expected in Ceuta. Therefore, “only when it is certain that there will be no security or terrorism risks for Italy, that there is no new wave, that there are no irregular migrants heading towards European territory, will it be possible to reconsider what has already been decided.”
