Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez told Parliament on 3 September that Morocco had failed to ensure effective border control, leading to a significant migration crisis in the Spanish enclave of Ceuta.
Ceuta, a Spanish territory on the North African coast bordering Morocco, has long been a focal point for irregular migration attempts. The Spanish government has repeatedly called on Morocco to strengthen border management, as the enclave's geographic position makes it a primary entry point for migrants seeking to reach Europe.
Sánchez's remarks underscore ongoing tensions between Madrid and Rabat over migration cooperation. While Spain and Morocco have cooperated on migration issues in recent years, the situation in Ceuta remains a sensitive point in bilateral relations.
The Spanish government has not announced new measures following Sánchez's statement, but the issue is expected to remain high on the political agenda as Spain continues to manage migration pressures along its southern border.
