Pedro Sánchez calls for an emergency meeting of EU interior ministers due to his “serious concern” over the reaction of some governments to the Ceuta migration crisis

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has formally requested an emergency meeting of European Union interior ministers to address the ongoing migration crisis in the Spanish autonomous city of Ceuta. In a letter addressed to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, Sánchez expressed his "serious concern" regarding the recent responses from several European governments to the situation at the border.

The request follows a period of heightened migration pressure in Ceuta, which has highlighted significant divisions among EU member states. According to reports, the crisis has underscored a lack of consensus within the bloc, as several countries have demonstrated a clear divergence from the migration policies currently championed by the Spanish government.
