Brussels \u2013 Faced with the migration crisis in Ceuta, the European Commission is taking action to support Spain. The Commission is not standing idly by, assures the Commissioner for Home Affairs, Magnus Brunner<\/strong>: \u201cWe are in contact with the relevant authorities regarding developments in the situation,\u201d he said. He added that the European Commission is acting on two fronts, one internal and the other external: on the one hand, there is a willingness to help the Spanish government manage the arrivals, and on the other, efforts are being made to persuade the Moroccan government to prevent departures.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

“We have informed Minister [of the Spanish Interior, Fernando] Grande-Marlaska that the European Union is willing to increase its support for Spain, including through Frontex<\/a><\/strong>, to bring the situation under control,\u201d Brunner said. In addition to making arrangements to strengthen the EU Border and Coast Guard Agency, <\/span><\/span>\u201cwe are also monitoring the situation with the Moroccan authorities<\/strong> to ensure that every necessary effort is made to prevent these dangerous journeys.”<\/p>\n

This is proof that the government in Madrid is working to try to curb and control the wave of migrants arriving in the Spanish exclave in North Africa. “We are mobilising all the necessary resources, working with the Moroccan and international authorities, and preparing the necessary measures to restore normality as soon as possible,” Spanish Prime Minister Pedro S\u00e1nchez said from the outset. Now the European Commission\u2019s response.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n
Meanwhile, the political debate continues unabated. The Spanish and European right are criticising the “S\u00e1nchez model”, which they deem a failure in managing migration. In light of the clash between Rome and Madrid<\/a>, the PD MEP, Sandro Ruotolo<\/strong>, has gone on the offensive against the governing majority: \u201cMeloni is attacking Spain and calling Schengen into question. But what is her alternative in the face of thousands of people attempting to swim to European shores? Walls? The army? Turning the Mediterranean into a fortress? Pedro S\u00e1nchez, on the other hand, dares to state a truth we share: immigration cannot be eradicated through propaganda; it must be managed.<\/strong>”  Faced with this crisis, as with others, he insists, \u201cthe choice is not between welcoming everyone or rejecting everyone. It is between managing immigration or being at its mercy.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
