EU Commends Spain's 'Swift Response' to Ceuta Migrant Crisis, But Deeper Concerns Remain The European Union's praise for Spain's handling of the migrant crisis in Ceuta may seem like a welcome respite from tensions between member states.
However, it glosses over deeper issues with border management and the Schengen agreement. At least 75 people died on the Spanish side of the border, with 11 reported dead in Morocco.
Thousands more are still stranded in Ceuta, raising concerns about their treatment and living conditions.
