Font de la Línia urges unified EU stance after Ceuta crisis
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen called for a unified European response to the migration crisis from Morocco to the Spanish enclave of Ceuta, which has resulted in the deaths of dozens. She emphasized the importance of strengthening European borders through increased monitoring and the use of physical barriers when necessary, considering the protection of external borders as a shared European responsibility. The crisis intensified after tens of thousands flocked to Ceuta, leading to criticism of Spain's policies and calls from Italy and Denmark to suspend Spain's membership in the Schengen Area, despite Ceuta being excluded from European free movement rules. Madrid reaffirmed its sovereignty over Ceuta as non-negotiable, continuing deportation operations for migrants. The death toll from attempted crossings has reached 83, including 11 who lost their lives trying to reach Ceuta.
