AGP Executive Report
Last update: 5 hours agoSpain-Italy Migration Row: Spain will impose temporary passport, nationality and visa checks on flights and ships arriving from Italy from midnight Saturday until Sept 7, after Rome refused to lift its own border controls tied to the Ceuta crisis, where about 72,000 people crossed on July 30; Madrid says the move is “persistent irregular migratory pressure” and warns of “proportionate measures” if Italy won’t change. Italy’s Response: Italy says it won’t accept “ultimatums” and will keep checks on arrivals from Spain until at least Aug 15, arguing security and migration risks must be ruled out first. Travel Impact (Practical): The checks don’t stop travel, but passengers may face random document checks on arrival. Volcanic Disruption in Sicily: Catania Airport suspended arrivals due to Etna’s ash activity, with departures continuing. Local Crime: In Abruzzo’s L’Aquila, thieves allegedly stole about €4m of art from fuel firm Lilli Petroli, including works attributed to Picasso.
