  "account": "In Strasbourg, the European Parliament has criticized Spain's left-leaning government for its handling of the mass influx of migrants in Ceuta, a Spanish exclave in North Africa. The EU parliament claims that Madrid's migration policy acts as a \"pull factor\" and sends the wrong message to potential migrants and smuggling networks. In a Strasbourg statement, passed with a 339 to 225 vote, the parliament emphasized that illegal entry should never be a shortcut to legal residence.\n\nThe resolution, proposed by the CDU and CSU grouping and passed with votes from right-wing parties such as the AfD and the French Rassemblement Nationale, highlights that more than 1.17 million migration applications were submitted, exceeding expectations. According to Spain's Social Ministry, two-thirds of the applicants are from Latin America, with the language and cultural similarity making integration easier. The government defends the measure as a response to labor shortages, claiming it benefits both employers and employees who can obtain official employment and pay social security contributions and taxes.",
