Feijóo promises an investigation on Ceuta and starts Brussels activation of the mechanism of urgent returns this year

The leader of Spain's Popular Party (PP), Alberto Núñez Feijóo, has pledged to launch an investigation into the July 30–31 crisis in Ceuta if he becomes prime minister. He has also committed to activating the EU’s emergency return mechanism by the end of this year, which would expedite deportations during exceptional migration pressures and potentially suspend standard asylum procedures if migration is deemed to be weaponized, as the PP claims Morocco did during the Ceuta crisis. Feijóo emphasized that this request was explicitly included in the European Union’s annual agenda and stated his intention to repatriate approximately 10,000 people still present in Spanish territory illegally after the incident. Additionally, he called for permanent Frontex and Europol presence in Ceuta and Melilla to protect EU borders and argued that securing these cities is crucial for both national sovereignty and continental territorial integrity. Feijóo criticized the current government under Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez for allegedly downplaying the crisis while he, as opposition leader, pushed for condemnation from the European Parliament.

Denmark, Poland and Italy urge the European Council to censure the regularization of migration in Spain

At a recent European Council summit in Brussels, Denmark, Poland, and Italy have pushed for measures to address concerns over illegal immigration, specifically targeting Spain’s regularization policies under Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez. These countries argue that allowing undocumented migrants to stay legally could create a 'pull factor' encouraging more migration. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen criticized Spain’s approach, stating it contradicts the majority-supported European migration policy. She emphasized that irregular migration constitutes a crime and is linked to higher crime rates. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni echoed these sentiments, stressing the need to prevent mass irregular arrivals and ensure border security. Despite this pressure, European Council President Antonio Costa noted that EU-wide efforts have reduced irregular crossings to their lowest levels since 2021. Meanwhile, 17 nations met informally to discuss innovative migration management solutions.

Anti-immigration leaders point to Sánchez for the regularization at the European summit

At the European summit, leaders advocating strict immigration policies criticized Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez for his government's mass regularization of migrants. Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis accused Spain of replacing its population with migrants to maintain political power, while also criticizing other countries like the Netherlands, Sweden, and Germany for their migration policies. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen urged the EU Commission to investigate nations acting contrary to European immigration norms by allowing illegal stays. Austrian Chancellor Christian Stocker directly blamed Spain for sending a 'bad signal' through its regularization policy, suggesting it might have contributed to the recent migrant crisis in Ceuta. While no new measures are expected to be approved, European leaders plan to discuss future strategies on migration, with five countries forming an alliance to create deportation centers inspired by Italy’s model in Albania. Before the summit began, Italy, Denmark, and Poland were already coordinating efforts.

EU leaders, against Sánchez for regularizing immigrants: "They are able to replace the population to remain in the Government"

Nearly two dozen European Union countries have expressed opposition to Spain's policies regarding the regularization of migrants and the management of the migration crisis in Ceuta. Led by Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, these nations advocate for stricter border controls and more stringent measures against irregular immigration. They argue that allowing illegal entrants to remain legally undermines EU-wide migration policies and has called on the European Commission to review such practices. The group includes Poland, Finland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Slovenia, Austria, Greece, Lithuania, the Czech Republic, Cyprus, Hungary, Germany, Slovakia, Malta, Sweden, and Bulgaria, among others. Italy and Denmark pushed for stronger border control measures and tools to counter policies like Spain’s.

Spain and Italy take steps to lift border controls after Ceuta crisis

Spain and Italy are taking steps to lift border controls after the migration crisis in Ceuta. The interior ministers of both countries plan to meet next week to reach an agreement and resolve the diplomatic tensions. Italy has extended its border controls by just one week as a gesture of goodwill to initiate negotiations aimed at ending the disputes caused by the migration crisis. This development follows a meeting between Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni during a European leaders' summit in Brussels. The crisis began when Italy suspended the Schengen treaty with Spain, imposing temporary border checks at ports and airports connected to Spain. In response, Spain introduced similar measures at internal borders for travel from Italy. Both governments aim to find alternative cooperation measures to maintain the freedom of movement within the Schengen area.

Trump says Spain suffered a "massive and sudden" influx of immigrants from Ceuta and "is doing nothing"

Donald Trump has once again commented on the migration crisis in Ceuta, Spain, where tens of thousands of Moroccan migrants crossed the border illegally on July 30. During an electoral event at the White House, Trump stated that Spain did nothing to prevent the mass influx of immigrants, criticizing European countries for their immigration policies and warning that Europe must change its ways or face collapse. He linked recent unrest in France to immigration issues and warned that if Democrats win the upcoming mid-term elections, violence could spread across the U.S. Trump also criticized Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez for not increasing military spending to NATO’s recommended 5% of GDP and for not allowing U.S. military operations to use shared Spanish bases.
