Pedro Sánchez faces criticism as 60,000 illegal immigrants storm the Spanish enclave of Ceuta
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez is facing intense scrutiny following a massive influx of nearly 60,000 illegal immigrants into the enclave of Ceuta from Morocco in just 24 hours. The incident, which resulted in at least 67 deaths, has drawn sharp criticism from international leaders and domestic political opponents. President Trump described the crossing as a "catastrophe" and an "invasion," blaming the administration's migration-friendly policies for the lack of territorial control. While Sánchez defended his regulated migration stance, critics argued that the crisis was a "manufactured" event, with some suggesting Moroccan authorities were complicit in the flow. The crisis has also strained relations with the United States and Israel, as Spain refused to allow U.S. military bases to be used for strikes on Iran. In response to the migration crisis, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has signaled a readiness to reinstate border controls, potentially impacting the Schengen Agreement. The administration announced that Spain's liberal migration policies have become a liability for the entire European bloc.
