The Spanish enclave of Ceuta in North Africa is facing a large-scale migration wave after, according to various estimates, 50,000 to 60,000 people crossed from Morocco into Spanish territory since Thursday. According to Spanish authorities, however, the vast overwhelming majority of migrants have already returned to Morocco, with one figure citing more than 48,300 voluntary returns. teraz.sk ↗
The situation has triggered both a security and political response in Europe. According to available information, Spain has deployed both the army and police. The migration wave in Ceuta is reported to have already claimed 67 victims. The city's mayor, Jesús Vivas, stated that approximately 60,000 people crossed into Spanish territory in recent days.

Other European states have also responded to the crisis. France has tightened border controls, and Italy has suspended the Schengen free-movement regime with Spain. According to available information, approximately twenty-two countries are requesting an emergency meeting. Refresher.sk ↗
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez wrote to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, European Council President António Costa, and Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin. Further developments will depend on negotiations between European countries and on whether the situation on the border between Morocco and Ceuta can be stabilized. aktuality.sk ↗
