Milan, Sept. 7 (LaPresse) – “The suspension of Schengen is a precautionary measure that has been adopted and is part of an initiative that many other governments have adopted on other occasions, including ours at the border with Slovenia; it was a necessary measure.” “We adopted the latest measure for 15 days, so it will expire next week. Then we will make a calm and objective assessment, as we have done so far, beyond the clamour.” Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi said this during his appearance on Agorà on Rai3 this morning, stressing that the government’s intervention “should not be underestimated”, also because “the initiative we took, not necessarily targeting people who were in Ceuta, enabled us to intercept several people who were trying to enter Italian territory illegally from Spain.”
