Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has sharply criticized certain EU governments for what he deems a selfish response to the recent crisis in Ceuta, where thousands of migrants crossed from Morocco. Sánchez is requesting an urgent meeting of EU ministers to address the situation and discuss a coordinated approach. He firmly defended Spain’s migration policies and stressed the need for greater solidarity from fellow EU member states. The crisis unfolded following a period of heightened tensions between Spain and Morocco, linked to Spain’s stance on Western Sahara. Sánchez argues that the influx of migrants is a European issue requiring a collective solution, not solely a Spanish one. He implied that some EU nations have failed to demonstrate sufficient support or understanding of the challenges Spain faces. The situation highlights ongoing divisions within the EU regarding migration policy and border control.
