EU Calls for Urgent Returns of Migrants in Ceuta
In a significant development amid the ongoing migration crisis, approximately 72,000 migrants crossed into Ceuta from Morocco in late July, prompting the European Commission to urge both Spain and Morocco to expedite the return of those who do not have legal residency. While many migrants have already been sent back, a substantial number remain in Ceuta, with a concerning influx of unaccompanied minors among them. EU spokesperson Markus Lammert has asserted that individuals without the appropriate rights to remain will not be transferred to mainland Spain, emphasizing the need for immediate action. The European Union is closely monitoring the situation and has extended support from agencies such as Frontex, Europol, and the EU Asylum Agency. Furthermore, the EU is targeting online migrant-smuggling networks that have been facilitating these illegal crossings, highlighting the multifaceted approach required to address this pressing issue.
