Call to Europe: Suspend Spain's Schengen Agreement

The diplomatic and political tension between European Union member states due to the migrant crisis is escalating. Following the irregular migrant crisis in Ceuta, Spain's territory in North Africa, Finnish Interior Minister Mari Rantanen supported the proposal to temporarily suspend Spain's free movement rights in the Schengen area. The migrant crisis in Ceuta, which prompted European Union countries to take action, has led to discussions about temporarily suspending Spain's free movement rights in the Schengen area due to its failure to protect its external borders. Finnish Interior Minister Mari Rantanen criticized the Madrid administration in a statement on social media, saying, “Spain has completely failed to protect the external borders of the Schengen area. This situation cannot continue. Countries that do not fulfill their border protection obligations cannot be part of the Schengen area.” The crisis between Spain and Italy has taken on a new dimension with Finland's statement.
