Italy responds to Spain that it "does not accept ultimatums" and will not reassess the suspension of Schengen until August 15
World1 source1 country🔦 Under-reported55m ago
The Italian government announced on Friday that it rejects ultimátums and will maintain border controls affecting Spanish travelers until August 15, refusing to reconsider the measure before that date. The decision comes in direct response to a three-day deadline issued by Spain, which had demanded that Rome lift the border restrictions on its citizens by Sunday, August 9.
The diplomatic friction centers on Italy's suspension of the Schengen agreement for travelers. Giorgia Meloni's administration firmly pushed back against what it characterized as imposition, maintaining the border restrictions despite the Spanish government's demand for an expedited withdrawal.
