The Spanish government described the border as "totally collapsed" and "absolute chaos," with thousands of migrants entering the territory, overwhelming local police and reception centres. Italian prime minister Giorgia Meloni reacted by calling for Spain's suspension from the European Union's visa-free Schengen travel zone, citing the "shocking" situation in Ceuta. Migrants were seen swimming or scaling fences to cross into Ceuta, which lies along the boundary between the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, an event compared to a similar large-scale influx in May 2021. The crisis follows a recent Spanish Supreme Court ruling on migrant returns and has drawn criticism from right-wing parties regarding Spain's pro-migrant policies.
