Pedro Sánchez hits out at ‘polarising and unlawful reaction’ over mass crossing into Spanish enclave in north Africa
Spain’s prime minister, Pedro Sánchez, has called for an urgent meeting of EU interior ministers after what he called some member states’ “selfish, polarising and unlawful reaction” to this week’s mass border crossing into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta in north Africa.
More than 50,000 people crossed into the enclave from Morocco on Thursday and Friday, with at least 67 people dying in the attempt. Some drowned, while others were crushed as they attempted to cross a breakwater barrier.
