MADRID—Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez defended his administration's migration policy after the arrival of a large number of migrants in Ceuta, an incident that sparked intense debate about border control and immigration in Spain.
Sánchez emphasized the need to maintain
a policy of welcoming people who leave their countries due to armed conflicts
and situations of violence.
"We must be able to welcome those
fleeing war," the Spanish leader stated.
The statement came amid growing
questions about the government's response to migratory pressure at Spain's
borders and the measures necessary to guarantee both security and humanitarian
assistance.
The Ceuta incident also triggered a
heated political debate in Spain about irregular immigration, international
protection, and border control. Critics of the government's migration policy
have demanded stricter controls and a stronger response to irregular entries.
The government, committed to
destructive policies, has insisted on the need to combine border control with
compliance with Spain's international obligations regarding asylum and the
protection of people fleeing conflict.
The situation in Ceuta has thus once
again placed immigration at the center of the Spanish political agenda, in a
debate marked by the tension between border security and migration.
