Rome, Sept. 17 (LaPresse) – We suspended Schengen with Spain “for security reasons; our objective is to guarantee the security of Italy’s borders and internal security. Around Ceuta there are many cells of Islamic jihad, and we must make sure that no one arrives in our country, and since there is a possibility that many young non-Moroccans who entered Ceuta illegally could be taken to Spain, the risk is that these people could then come to Italy.” Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said this in an interview with ‘Radio Anch’io’. Tajani said that Italy has also suspended Schengen with Slovenia. “It doesn’t seem to me that they made much of a fuss,” he added. “We protect the interests of Italians, the border, security; there is a problem of security, terrorism and irregular immigration, and we act accordingly. Many countries have suspended Schengen since it came into force, so there is nothing strange about it,” Tajani concluded.
