Spain to Italy: "Lift border controls by Sunday, or face 'proportional' measures" 👀 The Spanish government has asked Italy to lift the border controls—reintroduced on August 1st following the Ceuta migration crisis—by Sunday, August 9th, threatening "proportional" countermeasures otherwise. 📑 In a statement, Madrid describes the decision as "unfair, contrary to EU interests, and discriminatory towards Spaniards," accusing Rome of implementing it "without prior notice and based on spurious arguments." 🌚 Meanwhile, high alert remains regarding a potential new mass arrival of migrants on August 15th, fueled by buzz on social media.
