The recent border restrictions imposed by Italy on travelers arriving from Spain, and Madrid’s immediate retaliation, due to the migration crisis in Ceuta, a Spanish exclave in North Africa, bring into question the viability of Europe’s common area, known as Schengen, and whether European solidarity is collapsing. These restrictive measures are becoming more frequent across Europe. Of the 29 countries that belong to the Schengen Area, ten currently request restrictions along a route that is supposed to be open.

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni ordered the restrictions in late July after tens of thousands of people crossed from Morocco into Ceuta within hours. She called the step an “extraordinary measure” to protect national security, block possible onward travel by non-EU nationals, and rule out terrorism risks posed by uncontrolled flows. Italy and Spain share no land border, so the controls applied to air and sea arrivals and targeted third-country nationals rather than EU citizens.

Critics argue that Ceuta already sits outside Schengen, that most of those who entered soon returned to Morocco, and that Italy faced no realistic risk of a mass arrival. According to critics, Meloni used dramatic images from the enclave to harden her government’s anti-immigration message at home and to pressure Spain over its more open stance on migration.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has already said that 500 minors are slated for relocation from Ceuta to mainland Spain to relieve pressure on local reception facilities. With up to 10,000 illegal immigrants still in the enclave and local services overwhelmed, there are fears that thousands more will be relocated to the mainland...........more.........
