The EU has been a massive failure on this topic for a decade
it will get worse
More tax payers money again ?
It wasn't Russia. Look at the Abraham Accords for your culprits.
So now the minors (under 18) will be sent from Ceuta to the Spanish Peninsula…over 800 of them.
Will the EU accept these minors for re-distribution throughout the EU "in solidarity" with Spain?
News is already reporting another wave is being planned on August 15th.
What will EU do then?
Ha Ha It's Russia again 😂😂😂 ,what a clown show 😂
EU needs more meetings.
Trump and JD predicted it.
That was the entire point of the orchestrated and completely engineered running of the border. To ‘reignite’ the division over the issue. Don’t be so gullible.
Good
Oh NOW these leaders realise this whole thing was an orchestrated spectacle by the Moroccan government, most likely influenced by Trump and Netanyahu. In the case of Denmark, I hope Spain vows not to defend them the next time Trump comes knocking for Greenland again.
Who needs enemies with friends like that?
Sanchez is a socialist clown and a failure. The Spanish-
and the EU too-are too soft.The European Union’s inconsistent stance on immigration is a weak indicator of its unity and double standards. It’s unfortunate that this is the case, as it makes the union vulnerable to external pressure and threats.
The Moroccan regime, France, US and Israel are all united to colonise Western Sahara and break international law
From the UK's stance, it's nice to see that people who arrive via sea can be deported without any legal claim. If the EU can do it then surely the UK can.
Well played by Allies 👏
To remove the Spanish PM 🧠😁
Great!
No link between the amnesty in Spain and the recent border crossings???🤔 What?
Why are we focused on the 67,000 who rushed the border, and not on the 1,000,000 illegals that Spain unilaterally granted amnesty to? How many of those 1,000,000 will wind up in Denmark or France?
Its not divisive.
NO MORE MEETINGS, PEOPLE NEED ACTIONS FROM USELESS EU POLITICIANS, ACTIONS TO PROTECT EU NOT SOME STRANGE HUMANITY … THAT IS BEND ON MISUSING EU
They should ask Israel if they know anything
No one voted for this mass migration! This is just a socialist agenda forced onto EU citizens
My relatives lives in Ceuta. It’s far from over. There are still thousands of migrants who don’t want to leave. And it’s not getting reported to the media.
Occupied Ceuta and Melilla are Moroccan cities located in Africa. It is a disgrace! How can Europe, in 2026, allow a European state to colonize an African state—and even assist it in doing so?
Does the EU know how cooked it is if Spain decides to leave?
Wacht de reactie van Marokko af; het beleid van het land is rationeel en weloverwogen. Er doen berichten de ronde die suggereren dat deze kwestie is georkestreerd door partijen die vijandig tegenover Marokko staan. Marokko zou een dergelijke actie niet plannen en uitvoeren op Troondag.
If all blame options failed then guess who they're pointing to.
We all know that was a orchestrated event to embarrass the Prime Minister of Spain. It’s unfortunate that the citizens of that town in Spain were impacted. However, that was a political tactic to embarrass the Prime Minister.
Spain is lying to the whole world about the situation in Ceuta., there are still thousands of immigrants there that who have no intention of leaving. On the other hand, they are trying in every way to distract public opinion with Italy's actions, which are motivated, for those who don't know, by the fact that tens of thousands of illegal immigrants have arrived in Italy, in last years, through Spain or were brought by sea by Spanish NGOs.
Ceuta is part of Morocco, but it remains under Spanish occupation. Free Ceuta!
You need organised logistical planning to move 60k people. World Cup stadium average = 60k and required planned transport. The US and EU right wing seemed pretty ready to jump on Sanchez. Suspicious as hell.
Totally outrageous to accuse Russia when it was Israel who was behind this.
Spain handled this very well, all things considered.
That territory is not in Europe, it is in Africa, let that sink in.
Good morning, EU! When Hungary protected its and part of EU's Schengen border back in 2015, they were collectively condemned by the whole EU. Now there's full solidarity. What a hypocrite double standard…but at least the EU starts to wake up and realise that endlessly taking in and internally redistributing illegal migrants is a brain-dead idea.
Ceita belongs to Morocco . Spanish occupation must end.
Stop lying Sanchez knew what was coming
Bravo!!! All of Europe should praise Spain and particularly of Sanchez who has shown humanity, dignity, courage and moral integrity!
Pedro sanchez should step down.
Spanish socialist prime Minister went to Algeria and called for cooperation. Algeria is Morocco's enemy. Morocco released migrants to embarrass Spain.
