Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez criticised European leaders’ response after tens of thousands of migrants reportedly surged towards Spain’s North African enclave of Ceuta. The crisis has prompted Spain to deploy military forces and renewed debate over immigration enforcement, border security and Europe’s ability to manage large-scale migration.

Sánchez called for an emergency meeting of EU ministers and criticised Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni over restored border controls, according to the article’s title. The report says the influx has overwhelmed border crossings and strained local resources in Ceuta, while Spanish authorities work to restore order and prevent further crossings.
