The European Parliament holds a debate on the crisis in Ceuta, as political groups prepare competing resolutions amid backlash over Spain’s handling of migration. Several outlets report the discussion is driven by sharp disagreement over responsibility and the appropriate policy response.
According to reporting, right-leaning parties in the chamber, including the EPP and allies, are seeking a resolution that criticises Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez and calls for a tougher migration policy. These groups frame their push as a response to perceived failures and pressure for stronger controls.
By contrast, Socialists and Democrats are expected to defend Spain’s position and argue for greater European solidarity. Their approach emphasizes cooperation and shared responsibilities within the EU rather than unilateral or punitive measures. The debate reflects wider tensions in EU migration politics, with parties also using the Ceuta situation to advance broader positions on enforcement and burden-sharing.
