Spain ayaa sii wadaysa baaritaannada diyaaradaha iyo badaha ee ku yimaada Italy ilaa 22-kii September
Wasiiradda Arrimaha Gudaha Spain ayaa sheegtay inay sii wadaysay baaritaannada ku saabsan safarayaasha ka yimaada Italy muddo 15 maalmood ah, ilaa 22-kii September, iyadoo ku xiran tallaabo ay qaaday dowladda Rome kadib khilaafka Ceuta.
Tallaabooyinka labada dal
Spain ayaa 8-kii August ku bilowday baaritaannada safarayaasha ka yimaada Italy, iyadoo ku xiran amar INT/846/2026, kadib markii Italy ay horey uga joojisay xiriirka Schengen ee la xiriira Spain. Tani waxay ahayd tallaabo koowaad oo ay qaaday dowladda Madrid si loo jawaabo khilaafka.
Italy ayaa horey u sii waday baaritaannadeeda ilaa 15-kii September, iyadoo wasiirka arrimaha gudaha ee Matteo Piantedosi uu ku warramay wasiirka Spain Grande-Marlaska, isagoo sheegay in khilaafka uu sii socdo.
Sababta khilaafka
Khilaafka ayaa ka dhashay xaaladda qaxootiga ee Ceuta, halkaas oo dowladda Meloni ay sheegtay inay u baahan tahay inay joojiso xiriirka Schengen ee la xiriira Spain. Spain ayaa ku jawaabtay inay ku xirto baaritaanno la mid ah kuwa Italy, iyadoo labada dal ay sii wadaan tallaabooyinkooda.
Dowladda Spain ayaa sheegtay in baaritaannadu aysan ahayn xiritaanka dhulka, balse ay yihiin baaritaanno ku saabsan xaqiiqda iyo dhalashada safarayaasha, iyadoo diyaaradaha iyo badaha ay sii wadaan shaqadooda.
Saamaynta safarayaasha
Safarayaasha ayaa loo sheegay inay u baahan yihiin inay bixiyaan waqti dheeraad ah, iyadoo baaritaannadu ay ku dhacaan diyaaradaha iyo badaha, iyadoo la eego paspoorta iyo oggolaanshaha degaanka ee qaxootiga.
Labada dal ayaa sii wada baaritaannadooda 15 maalmood gudahood, iyadoo khilaafka aysan wali la xalin, balse safarayaasha ay sii wadaan safarkooda iyadoo la raacayo shuruudaha cusub.
Spain's Interior Ministry has announced a 15-day extension of identity and nationality checks on travellers arriving from Italy by air or sea, pushing the measure's expiry to 22 September. The move mirrors Rome's own parallel extension and continues the diplomatic stand-off between Madrid and Rome over the Ceuta migration crisis.
The Extension and Its Origins
Spain introduced these checks for the first time on 8 August through Order INT/846/2026, targeting travellers arriving from Italy by air or sea. The decision was a direct response to Italy's earlier suspension of the free-movement regime for travellers arriving from Spanish territory, which Italy had justified on national security grounds following a mass arrival of migrants in Ceuta in late July.
Italy's interior minister, Matteo Piantedosi, conveyed the extension of its own checks until 15 September to Spain in a telephone call with his Spanish counterpart, Grande-Marlaska. Both countries have kept renewing their respective checks in parallel, in 15-day increments, without resolving the underlying dispute over the Ceuta migration situation.
What the Checks Entail
The extension does not amount to a border closure and does not affect the right to travel between the two countries. These are identity and nationality checks, carried out on passports at random in ports and airports; for third-country nationals, they also include verification of residence permits.
Flights and sea links continue to operate as normal, though travellers are advised to allow extra time for these checks. The measures remain in place as both nations continue to renew their respective restrictions in parallel, reflecting the unresolved nature of the Ceuta crisis.
The Ceuta Crisis at the Root of the Dispute
The diplomatic tussle began in late July, when Giorgia Meloni's government announced the suspension of Schengen arrangements with Spain on national security grounds, in the context of a mass arrival of migrants in Ceuta. Italy has argued, and repeated with each renewal, that the migration situation remains unresolved and continues to justify the checks.
Spain responded first by unsuccessfully demanding that the restrictions be lifted, then by mirroring them with an equivalent measure targeting Italian travellers. Since then, both countries have kept renewing their respective checks in parallel, in 15-day increments, without resolving the dispute.
