Italy suspends free movement with Spain after Ceuta deaths

Italy has reintroduced border controls with Spain following the mass crossing of more than 60,000 people into Ceuta, a move analysts describe as political theatre rather than a practical response. At least 72 died in the crossing. Experts note Italy cannot suspend Schengen, only temporarily impose internal checks, and the measure affects air and sea travel. Twenty-two EU states backed Italy, highlighting divisions over migration policy.
