This is an extraordinary measure, adopted to safeguard national security and prevent possible repercussions for our Nation. The measure will be kept in force only for the time necessary, with particular attention to limiting any impact on summer tourist flows. In parallel, Italy is ready to support every European initiative to assist Spanish institutions as needed to restore full control of the Union&#8217;s external borders and to address the ongoing situation with determination. Defending borders means defending the safety of citizens, combating irregular immigration, and striking at the criminal networks that traffic human beings.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Tajani writes on X:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em><strong>The temporary suspension of #Schengen with Spain is a necessary choice to safeguard the security of our citizens and defend the European borders.
