Paris, Aug 4 (EFE).- French Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez said Tuesday that European Union member states had expressed support for Spain’s handling of the recent migration crisis in Ceuta during an informal meeting of EU interior ministers convened at Madrid’s request.
«All member states have shown solidarity with Spain. They praised the management of the Spanish government, Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez and Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska,» Nuñez told a news conference after the meeting.
The French minister said there was broad agreement among participants, although he acknowledged differences in emphasis over migration policy.
According to Nuñez, ministers agreed that the Schengen area «is not the problem, it is part of the solution» and that no country questioned Spain’s continued participation in the passport-free travel zone.
“We told each other what we think,» he said.
