Ceuta crisis prompts EU ministers to consider internal border checks
EU interior ministers will assess at a meeting on Tuesday whether to reintroduce tighter internal border checks across Europe in response to the Ceuta crisis.
The delegation of the Government in Ceuta, Miguel Ángel Pérez, has denied claims that Ceuta's president, Jesús Vivas, had warned Prime Minister Sánchez about the impending influx of migrants in the autonomous city in the days leading up to it. "I have read reports from the days prior to the onslaught saying that President Vivas had tried to warn Prime Minister Sánchez about what was going to happen.
I suppose it must be a misunderstanding because it's not true," Pérez stated. The Ministry of Youth and Childhood reported on Thursday that more than a hundred migrant minors are being attended to and have spent their first night at a Ceutian school. Infancia requested on Tuesday that two schools in the city be permitted to use their facilities to urgently accommodate unaccompanied girls and boys who have been in Ceuta since the previous week.
Moreover, the King receives the president of the Autonomous City of Ceuta at an audience at Marivent, in Palma, according to Casa del Rey. The royal audience will take place after a meeting between Vivas and the president of the Balearic Islands, Marga Prohens, both from PP, scheduled for 13:00 hours.
