European Official Commends Morocco's Swift Response
The European Commissioner for the Mediterranean, Dubravka Šuica, has publicly acknowledged the constructive dialogue she recently had with Morocco's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Nasser Bourita, regarding the troubling situation in Ceuta, which she described as "unacceptable." In a post shared on the social media platform X, Šuica emphasized that issues such as irregular migration, human trafficking, and smuggling can only be effectively addressed through collaborative efforts. She particularly lauded Morocco's rapid response to these challenges, which she deemed essential.
Šuica expressed her appreciation for Morocco's close cooperation in support of Spain, highlighting the swift repatriation of irregular migrants in accordance with established legal frameworks. This cooperation showcases the high level of coordination between Rabat, Madrid, and the European Union. Furthermore, she reinforced Morocco's role as a reliable and long-term partner of the EU, affirming the ongoing joint efforts in managing migration issues and strengthening the strategic partnership between the two parties.
This European stance comes amid a recent migration crisis in Ceuta, prompting the European Commission to intensify its communications with both Moroccan and Spanish authorities. Ursula von der Leyen, the President of the European Commission, has reiterated the EU’s reliance on its partnership with Morocco to achieve tangible results in addressing irregular migration. She underscored the urgency of dismantling human trafficking networks and expediting the legal repatriation process for migrants.
