European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen praised Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez for his handling of the influx of 60,000 migrants into the Spanish exclave of Ceuta.
According to Euractiv, as reported by Ukrinform, von der Leyen expressed her views in a letter dated August 3.
"Both Spanish and Moroccan authorities have managed this efficiently and effectively, successfully preventing illegal movement onwards to mainland Spain and Europe," the letter states.
The letter was sent in response to a message from Sánchez on Saturday, in which he criticized what he described as the "prejudice" and selfishness of other European leaders.
