Italian Prime Minister Georgia Meloni called on Thursday for Spain's suspension from the EU's visa-free Schengen travel zone after thousands of migrants entered the Spanish exclave of Ceuta adjoining Morocco.
"We are in the process of bringing together the competent bodies and, once these meetings are over, we are ready to act, including through exceptional measures... such as suspending the Schengen agreement with Spain," Meloni said on X.
Her comments echoed similar remarks made earlier in the day by Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani.
