Spain Ceuta situation stabilizes ahead of EU meeting
Spain announced that the situation in Ceuta has returned to a "semi-normal" state following an attempt by hundreds of migrants to reach the enclave illegally at the border. At least 67 migrants were killed during the attempt, and the majority—around 48,000—were returned to Morocco. The security escalation has tightened border controls, including a 500-meter-long rubber barrier in the sea, while the flow of migrants continues—most of whom are young Moroccans—despite stringent measures. Meanwhile, Italy called for the suspension of Spain's membership in the Schengen Area, and France established border screening procedures. The Spanish Prime Minister called for European unity to address the crisis, and the government reaffirmed its plans to regularize the status of irregular migrants after more than a million applications were submitted, amidst rejection of European divisions over migration management.
