Spain was forced into a U-turn after announcing that its borders with Portugal and France were to reopen this month — leading Lisbon to complain that it hadn't been informed
to stop the spread of the coronavirus on March 16 — shocked officials in Portugal and led to a terse statement from Foreign Minister Augusto Santos Silva, who told the press that any change to the border closure agreements had to be green-lit "by both governments."
While appealing for greater collaboration on the common border's management, the Portuguese minister pointed out that Madrid had also ignored its neighbors and acted on its own in May, when it announced that it would impose a two-week quarantine on all international arrivals through June 1. Santos Silva lamented that, instead of negotiating border reopenings with neighboring countries, the Spanish government was allowing successive ministers to announce policies that "do not fall within that framework of close coordination."
