The Spanish enclave of Ceuta in North Africa has faced a mass arrival of migrants from Morocco since late July. According to available data, approximately 50,000 to 60,000 people have entered Spanish territory, with more than 48,300 of them having already voluntarily returned to Morocco. postoj.sk ↗

Spanish authorities have deployed both the army and the police, and installation of a maritime barrier near Ceuta has begun to prevent further attempts to enter. At least 57 people have died trying to reach the enclave, some of them drowning and others dying in crowd crushes. The mayor of the city and head of the autonomous region, Jesús Vivas, described the situation as unsustainable. forum24.cz ↗

The crisis has triggered reactions within the European Union. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen called the footage of tens of thousands of migrants unacceptable. European Commissioner Magnus Brunner stated that migrants from Ceuta are not yet continuing on further into the EU, since special rules apply to Ceuta and Melilla under the Schengen Borders Code, and border checks remain in place when leaving these territories. hnonline.sk ↗

In response, Italy suspended the Schengen free-movement regime with Spain, and France tightened checks at its borders. According to the Slovak Ministry of Interior, the situation is being closely monitored by the European Union. Further developments will depend on Spain's ability to stabilize the border in Ceuta and on coordination among EU member states. Refresher.sk ↗
