The migration crisis in the Spanish enclave of Ceuta will be the focus of an extraordinary meeting of European Union interior ministers on Tuesday, where Spain will call for a common response from the bloc and respond to criticism from several EU partners, led by Italy and Denmark, following the mass arrival of thousands of migrants from Morocco.
On the eve of the meeting, Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares said in an interview with TVE that Spain will demand "solidarity from all the member states of the European Union" and warned that those who refuse to offer it "are working against Europe."
The minister stressed that Ceuta and Melilla are not only Spanish borders but also external borders of the Union, so the response must be shared.
