Spain’s King speaks out on Ceuta crisis as crowds welcome royal couple

King Felipe VI has addressed irregular migration, Spain’s territorial sovereignty, and relations with Morocco during his first official visit to Ceuta. He delivered his message after a day of meetings, school visits, and a memorial honouring those who died during the mass crossings from Morocco in July. The King called for political unity and emphasized that the rights of residents and the country’s borders must be protected, stating that people who entered Spain irregularly should, as a general principle, return to their place of origin as soon as possible.
