Spain accuses some EU countries of 'selfish' reaction to Ceuta crisis
Crisis in Ceuta

Spain has criticized the response of several European Union countries to the influx of migrants from Morocco to the Spanish enclave of Ceuta, calling it "selfish, divisive and illegal."

Spanish authorities say that almost all of the migrants who entered Ceuta on July 30 have returned, while Spanish Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska announced that the death toll from the events has risen to at least 67 people.

The diplomatic clash began after Italy temporarily suspended the Schengen border-free zone agreement with Spain, with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni describing the footage from Ceuta as “shocking.” The Italian decision was also supported by Finland and Denmark, while Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš called for the temporary suspension of Spain’s participation in Schengen.

In a letter to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez expressed concern about the reactions of some European governments. He said Spain had restored full border control in less than 48 hours and had prevented any unauthorized crossings to continental Europe.

Sánchez stated that most European countries had shown support and solidarity, but some other governments, according to him, had chosen to attack Spain for political reasons, prejudice or incorrect information.

"The European Union cannot afford this kind of selfish, divisive and illegal reaction," the Spanish prime minister said.

He called for an urgent meeting of EU interior ministers to reaffirm that the security of the Union's external borders is a shared responsibility of all member states.

Meanwhile, 22 of the 27 EU countries have also called for emergency talks on the situation in Ceuta. In a joint statement, they praised the cooperation between Spain and Morocco on the rapid return of migrants, but called for the mobilization of European support to help Madrid control the border.

The situation on the ground in Ceuta has calmed down, according to Spanish authorities. Minister Grande-Marlaska stated that almost all migrants had left the enclave and that economic activities had resumed. Spain has also begun installing a temporary sea barrier to prevent further illegal entries.

However, political tensions persist. Italy has argued that uncontrolled immigration poses a threat to national security, while France has increased controls on the border with Spain and Portugal has warned of the possibility of tightening border measures.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen called the scenes from Ceuta “unacceptable,” stressing that no one can enter the European Union without respecting its rules. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz also supported Spain’s stance on stopping illegal entries and demanded that Morocco immediately take back undocumented migrants.
