La crisis de Ceuta da alas a los partidarios de los centros de deportación de migrantes fuera de la UE

The Ceuta crisis has breathed new life into advocates for migrant detention centers outside the EU. For the second consecutive year, Italy's asylum seeker detention center in Albania has been nearly empty. These facilities built by Rome outside its own territory have also accumulated judicial loopholes related to the asylum system and controversies over their excessive cost.

However, when images of the Ceuta overflow went viral worldwide, Italian Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi seized the opportunity during the EU Council on Tuesday to use the crisis in the North African Spanish city to argue for the EU to build such installations to combat irregular immigration. He called for "the courage to embark on the path of innovative solutions," using that neutral language to distance himself from the controversial connotation of the initiative.
