Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez is taking aim at his Italian counterpart, Giorgia Meloni, over the country's decision to reinstate border controls in response to a surge in migrants attempting to cross from Ceuta into Spain. The move has sparked tensions between the two EU nations, with Sánchez accusing Meloni of "shirking responsibility" and demanding an emergency meeting to address the issue. The crisis in Ceuta has seen thousands of migrants attempt to cross the border, with many being turned back by Spanish authorities. As the situation continues to escalate, Sánchez is calling on the Italian government to work together to find a solution and prevent further humanitarian crises.
