Última hora de la entrada de inmigrantes a Ceuta, en directo | Albares carga contra la “internacional reaccionaria” y considera la desinformación el elemento clave de la crisis en Ceuta
El Gobierno asegura que “exigirá solidaridad” de los Estados de la UE y reitera que Marruecos colaboró “desde el primer momento”
Minister of Foreign Affairs José Manuel Albares has pointed out that misinformation was the main factor triggering the massive influx of migrants into Ceuta's autonomous city last Thursday. He stated this on TVE, denouncing a synchronized reaction from the international community that quickly spread rumors and false news about the Schengen area.
The Foreign Minister assured that Spain would demand "solidarity" from European partners during the EU Interior Ministers' meeting on Tuesday. He also reiterated that Morocco has been collaborating to resolve the crisis since the very beginning. The Moroccan government acknowledged on Monday that at least 11 people died on its shores during the irregular entry of several dozens of thousands of migrants into Ceuta on Thursday.
Spanish authorities have estimated over 50,000 migrants entering the autonomous city, while Morocco lowers the figure to 40,000. There are also varying official data regarding the fatalities: the central government's latest report raises the number to 72, while Ceuta's authorities count 88 bodies recovered from the water that have already been transferred to their morgue.
