Madrid (Spain), Aug. 11 (LaPresse) – “Italy’s attitude” toward the crisis in Ceuta “was not one of solidarity and support for Spain, as the vast majority of European Union countries have shown. Rather, it was probably dictated by partisan interests, an attempt to exploit this unprecedented situation for the Italian government’s domestic electoral needs.” Spanish Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares said this at a press conference in Ceuta. “What is surprising is that the country with the highest number of irregular entries in Europe, twice as many as Spain, is the one that proposed introducing controls on flights and ships arriving from Spain, especially considering that what in Europe are referred to as secondary movements,” “between Spain and Italy are minimal, accounting for less than 1%,” the Spanish foreign minister added.
