King Felipe of Spain has spoken by phone with Spanish Prime Minister, Pedro Sanchez, as military deployment are sent to the Spanish enclave of Ceuta after thousands of migrants from Morocco swam on to its beaches at the start of the week. The influx has resulted in a diplomatic crisis between the two kingdoms of Spain and Morocco as Spain now claims that Morocco is not doing enough to keep migrants away from the Spanish enclave on its side of the border.
King Felipe has also been talking to the president of Ceuta to convey his solidarity. Since the early hours of Monday, around 8.000 immigrants have entered Spanish territory at Ceuta. Of these, about 1,500 are minors. The majority of the 8.000 immigrants will be returned to Morocco.
The dramatic arrival of thousands of irregular migrants from Morocco on Spanish shores has put the government of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez on high alert. The Socialist Party (PSOE) leader canceled a trip to Paris on Tuesday and flew down to Ceuta, after having stated earlier in the day that âterritorial integrityâ would be defended after more than 7,000 people swam to the North African Spanish city from Morocco between Monday and Tuesday.
Speaking today at a news conference in La Moncloa prime ministerial palace, Sánchez opened the door to using any means necessary to guarantee the security of the countryâs borders, as well as promising that the integrity of Spainâs territory was not at risk.
Spanish prime minister, Pedro Sánchez, canceled a trip to Paris on Tuesday to travel to Ceuta and Spainâs other exclave city, Melilla, where 86 people managed to jump the border fence in the early hours of Tuesday morning. Of the 8,000 people who had arrived in Ceuta since Monday, either swimming or using makeshift flotation devices, nearly half have been sent back to Morocco, according to the Interior Ministry, which has not given more details about the expulsion procedures employed.
The unprecedented crisis in Ceuta has left many unanswered questions, ranging from the reasons why the Moroccan authorities let so many people breach the border â apparently a diplomatic punishment â to the way in which the thousands of people, including hundreds of minors, will now be taken care of.
