Spain installs floating barrier to control migration
The Spanish government is preparing to install a 500-meter floating barrier off its border with Morocco in the Melilla area, following an unprecedented migration wave that resulted in the deaths of 67 people. The barrier consists of inflatable sea buoys ranging in height from 30 to 70 centimeters, designed to prevent migrants from crossing, with a passage for Civil Guard vessels for security patrols. The event has caused a division within the European Union, with 22 countries calling for an emergency meeting of Interior Ministers to help Spain control the borders, along with demands to review cooperation with Morocco and support from Frontex. France, Luxembourg, and Portugal did not approve the call, even though the crisis has heightened tensions over the management of illegal migration in the region.
