The European Union will hold an emergency meeting next week following the arrival of approximately 60,000 migrants into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta. The influx occurred as migrants crossed the border from Morocco, and has resulted in at least 67 deaths according to officials.
The situation has prompted a response from Spain, which criticized what it described as “selfish, polarising and unlawful” responses from some European partners. This follows Italy’s decision to suspend its participation in the Schengen Area's border-free travel arrangement.
There are tense exchanges between Spain and other EU states regarding this migrant influx. Left outlets and right-leaning GB News both report on the emergency meeting, but diverge in their framing of the situation; not in dispute is the scale of the crossings or the resulting death toll. No right-leaning sources reported Italy's suspension of the Schengen agreement beyond what was stated by GB News.
