EU Calls for United Border Action After Migrant Surge in Ceuta
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen called for unified European action to strengthen border security following a migrant surge into Spain's Ceuta enclave from Morocco. She praised Spain's response and emphasized shared responsibility for protecting EU external borders. The incident sparked tensions, with some member states proposing measures against Spain, which Madrid rejected. The EU plans emergency talks to coordinate border management and enhance support to Morocco, a key partner in combating illegal migration, under the framework of the new EU Migration Pact.
