King Felipe VI and President Milei React to Ceuta Migration Surge

King Felipe VI of Spain expressed deep concern over the recent migration crisis in the Spanish enclave of Ceuta, where roughly 50,000 migrants entered irregularly from Morocco, many crossing the border by sea. He called for reinforced security, a united response, and measures to prevent a repeat of the deadly incidents that left dozens of people dead. The king communicated with the presidents of Ceuta and Melilla, Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, and opposition leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo, urging the state to protect the autonomous cities.

Argentina’s President Javier Milei shared a video of the Ceuta events on his X account, adding a political message that “the end of socialism is near.” He cited the crisis as evidence of the failures of open‑border policies in Europe. Argentine officials said they are monitoring the situation but have not announced any new measures related to the Spanish crisis. Spain’s interior minister Fernando Grande‑Marlaska reported that the situation was beginning to normalize, though local authorities said normalcy had not yet been fully restored.
