Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has requested an emergency meeting of EU interior ministers following a significant border breach into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta. Over 50,000 people crossed from Morocco into Ceuta on Thursday and Friday, triggering a humanitarian crisis. Tragically, at least 67 individuals died attempting the crossing, succumbing to drowning or being crushed. Sánchez criticized the response from some EU member states as “selfish, polarising and unlawful”. He aims to secure a coordinated European approach to managing the influx and addressing the underlying causes of migration. The situation highlights the ongoing challenges of border security and humanitarian concerns in the region. The PM is seeking solidarity and cooperation from across the EU to deal with the crisis effectively.
