Rome, 12 Aug. (LaPresse) – “Elections are due to be held in Italy in a year’s time. Perhaps the Spanish are doing this for electoral reasons, given the difficulties facing the Spanish Socialist Party, which is struggling for a number of reasons.” This was stated by the Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, Antonio Tajani, at a press conference in Sant’Anna di Stazzema, in response to comments made yesterday by his counterpart in Madrid, José Manuel Albares, who had spoken of “electoral reasons” underlying the Italian decision to suspend the Schengen Agreement for third-country nationals arriving from Spain. “Perhaps the Spanish Socialists will do so, but we certainly are not doing it for electoral reasons. We are simply safeguarding the national interest,” Tajani concluded.
