Czech Minister: Spain Will Not Be Excluded From Schengen Over Migrants

Czech Interior Minister Vít Rakušan has stated that he has no intention of excluding Spain from the Schengen Area due to the current influx of migrants. Rakušan emphasized that Spain is not violating the rules of the Schengen Area and that the country is adhering to them. He made these remarks in response to discussions about potential measures against countries experiencing high levels of migration. Rakušan stressed that the Schengen Area operates on the principle of cooperation and that excluding a member state is not a solution to the complex issue of migration. He believes that addressing migration requires a collective effort and adherence to established protocols rather than punitive actions against individual member nations. The minister's comments aim to reassure that the integrity of the Schengen Area will be maintained while acknowledging the challenges posed by migration flows.
