Migration: „Konkrete Gefahr für die europäischen Grenzen“: Droht der EU eine neue Flüchtlingskrise?
Die Bilder von Ceuta haben die EU aufgeschreckt. Zahlen belegen, dass die Lage an den Grenzen zur Union derzeit ruhig ist. Aber die Situation kann kippen.
A recent incident in Ceuta, a Spanish enclave in North Africa, has sparked concerns about a potential new refugee crisis within the European Union. An estimated 70,000 migrants from Morocco crossed the border fences into Ceuta last week, reminiscent of the 2015 refugee crisis that saw hundreds of thousands of people heading towards Europe.
This surge in migrants prompted the EU to demand measures to prevent another influx, with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni likening the situation to a "concrete threat to European borders" and calling for stricter controls on arrivals from Spain.
European People's Party (EVP) chairman Manfred Weber (CSU) further urged the European Border and Coast Guard Agency Frontex to be granted more authority, stating that if a government fails to maintain a secure external border, Frontex should "take command" and "restore order." However, May-Linh Ho Dac, a researcher at the Migration Centre of the German Society for Foreign Policy, argues that reactions such as Meloni's and Weber's are "unfounded" and not grounded in facts.
