Brussels \u2013 Spain has always offered \u201cits solidarity to every Member State of the Union\u201d and expects to be treated in the same way. The Spanish Minister for Foreign Affairs, the European Union and Cooperation, Jos\u00e9 Manuel Albares<\/strong>, reiterated this speaking of the migration crisis in Ceuta \u2013 where, between 30 and 31 July, around 60,000 migrants from Morocco entered the country<\/a>. During a press briefing at the Gymnich meeting \u2013 the informal gathering of European Union foreign ministers \u2013 taking place today and tomorrow in Wicklow (Ireland), the minister wished to convey a message to the entire Union, but above all to Italy. <\/p>\n

From 1 August 2026, Italy temporarily suspended the Schengen<\/a> agreement on cross-border connections with Spain, triggering a diplomatic crisis that prompted the government in Madrid to introduce similar controls on arrivals from Italy. For this reason, Albares recalled all the times his government provided aid to other Member States and beyond. He mentioned, for example, the reception given to Ukrainian refugees following the outbreak of the war with Russia, as well as the aid provided in 2021, when Aleksandr Lukashenko drove thousands of migrants towards the borders of Poland, Lithuania, and Latvia. He then turned his attention to 2023, when \u201cItaly was inundated with migrants in Lampedusa,\u201d and Spain committed to relocate some of them to its territory.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 For these reasons, the monarchy expects solidarity and political support from its European partners \u201cwhen it comes to its southern land borders,\u201d because these borders \u201care just as important as those to the east, north, and west\u201d, according to the minister. In addition to political solidarity, Albares called for <\/strong> \u201cfinancial solidarity,\u201d referring to the upcoming negotiations for the next Multiannual Financial Framework<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 the EU\u2019s long-term spending plan \u2013 for the period 2028\u20132034.<\/p>\n

Finally, the minister explained that the Union must tackle the other “hybrid threats” it faces, particularly disinformation. On this point, he expressed regret at having observed that, regarding Ceuta, even \u201csome EU governments have amplified it,\u201d so \u201cwe cannot allow it to seep into our societies,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
