Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez says the recent surge of migrants arriving in Ceuta is a “violation of territorial integrity.” Speaking to address the crisis, Sánchez adds that the issue is supported by “all Spain” and focuses on the situation for residents in the Spanish North African enclave. He attributes the rise in irregular arrivals to the actions of migrant-smuggling networks, arguing that their activity is based on a “misreading” of a court ruling. Sánchez says Spain is responding by strengthening security measures in and around Ceuta, indicating the government will take steps to prevent further irregular crossings. The statements align across outlets on Sánchez’s framing of the situation and his explanation for the increase in arrivals, as well as his pledge to improve security. The remarks come amid heightened attention on irregular migration from Morocco to Ceuta and public concern within the enclave over the impact of the arrivals. No additional policy details beyond bolstering security are presented in the cited reports.
