After Corona, there was free travel again when crossing the southern border – now you have to be prepared for checks, traffic jams and waiting times when leaving for Italy. Reason: the G7 summit.
Free passage has been the rule at the border with Italy for years – except of course during the corona pandemic. But just at the start of the holidays, that changes, at least for the next two weeks. This time, however, not because of a virus – although evil tongues might claim otherwise.
The reason for the reintroduced border controls and the suspension of the Schengen Agreement by the Italian authorities from June 5 to 18 is the G7 summit that will take place in Rome on June 13 and 14 with representatives of the main industrialized countries, the USA, Japan, Canada, Germany, Great Britain, France and the host itself.
Fear of attacks
The security authorities want to know in advance which people are entering the country – especially in times like these. To protect participants from possible attacks and disruptive actions. Traffic congestion and waiting times are expected at the border with Italy over the next two weeks. And, importantly: don’t forget your identity card!
