Europa tiene que solucionar ahora el desastre provocado por el Gobierno español en Ceuta

Europa needs to address the disaster caused by the Spanish government in Ceuta immediately. On July 30th, at least 80,000 people crossed from Morocco into Ceuta, the largest violation of territorial integrity seen in decades. This challenge tested Spain's southern border and, consequently, the southern frontier of Europe. Fifty days later, it remains unclear if a solution is possible.

Therefore, it is time to question if the response is up to the task. A border is not just a line on a map; it represents a political community deciding which values to protect and which responsibilities to share. When a European border is violated, the entire Europe is weaker. When a border is not adequately defended, the entire Europe is unprotected.

This is what is happening now. The current Spanish government's reaction, unable to diagnose the true problem and apply the correct treatment, compels me to restate the evidence before anything else. We are not facing a migration crisis; we are witnessing the consequences of an invasion from Morocco, which must therefore be held responsible for having consented to or instigated it.

Normalcy in Ceuta has been shattered for over six weeks, and scenes of chaos, overcrowding, and insecurity must shame and challenge us. Believing that the prolongation of this situation will have no consequences is a mistake we cannot afford: it affects our sovereignty, our collective ability to defend the Rule of Law, the safety of citizens, and the European project's credibility to ensure its own stability. The indispensable briefing for those who decide, negotiate, and set the political agenda.
