Hespress: Spain, in coordination with Morocco, will expel migrants from Ceuta
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited
[Regnum] Spain and Morocco have agreed on a procedure for returning migrants who arrived illegally in the Spanish city of Ceuta.
Finally!
This was reported on July 30 by the news portal Hespress.

"Morocco and Spain have agreed to return migrants who entered Ceuta during the latest surge," the authors noted.

The agreement provides for the expulsion of all migrants who illegally crossed the Ceuta border, including minors.

At the end of July, a massive influx of migrants poured into Ceuta, Spain, from Morocco. In July alone, 26 bodies were found in the city's coastal waters. Despite this, the influx of migrants continues. To enhance security, authorities deployed law enforcement officers, who used tear gas and water cannons to disperse the crowd.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez plans to visit Ceuta on July 31 along with Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska to meet with local authorities and law enforcement officials.

The Spanish Prime Minister called the influx of migrants from Morocco an attack on the country
Spain is under attack, and its territorial integrity has been violated, due to a mass influx of migrants from Morocco in Ceuta, located on the northern coast of Africa. This was announced by Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez on July 31.

The day before, thousands of people had gathered at the border between Morocco and Ceuta, with hundreds of them managing to cross into Spain. Authorities deployed additional police, civil guard, and military forces to the coastal city.

"What happened yesterday must be considered an attack and a violation of Spain's territorial integrity," Sánchez said at a press conference in Ceuta, stressing that Spain strongly condemns the incident.

Earlier, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni stated that Rome was prepared to suspend the Schengen Agreement with Spain due to the influx of illegal migrants into Ceuta. According to her, uncontrolled illegal migration poses a threat to European security.
And so it does.
Finnish Interior Minister Mari Rantanen called for Italy's proposal to be extended to all Schengen area countries.

Those trying to reach Spain often have neither money nor food, and some die at sea. In July alone, the bodies of 26 people were found in the waters near Ceuta.

60,000 Moors invaded the lands of the Crown of Castile
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited

Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin (Dark humor, Russian style)

[ColonelCassad] According to authorities, up to 60,000 Moors, essentially a full-fledged army, have broken through to Ceuta.

There will be a Caliphate! The Castilians are sending reinforcements to Ceuta to contain the advance of the Moors, who have breached the border cordon.

The EU has proposed temporarily expelling Spain from the Schengen zone until the invasion is repelled and the risk of creating an Emirate of Cordoba is eliminated.

Borrell croaked that no one should be excluded from the "blooming garden." No one will escape.

The Castilian Ministry of Defense declared that all Moors caught in Ceuta will be deported back to Morocco from the sacred lands of the Cordoba Caliphate, seized by the infidels. Including by force. What a cynical deportation of innocent civilians and the application of collective responsibility. We are waiting for the book "Why Did Sánchez Deport Peoples?!

The Cordoba Caliphate will be!

NEWS FROM THE "GARDEN OF EDEN."
A large army of Moroccan migrants has invaded Spain. The Prophet's vanguard, consisting of several thousand warriors, has already breached the border and is attempting to advance deeper into Castilian territory.

They will carry out a reverse reconquest. The Caliphate of Cordoba will exist. The infidels will answer for Poitiers and Las Navas de Tolosa.

Unprecedented disaster: Tens of thousands of migrants seize Spanish homes, loot stores, and clash with police
Tens of thousands of migrants are seizing the homes of Spaniards, looting shops and fighting with police.

During the massive border breakout, over 60,000 migrants arrived in Ceuta. Spain deployed the army to reinforce security in the enclave, and a significant number of Moroccans who had subsequently arrived began to return.

Amid the crisis, several European countries have criticized Madrid's migration policy. In particular, Italy and Denmark have called for consideration of temporarily limiting Spain's participation in the Schengen Area.

France is deploying troops on the border with Spain, and Italy has completely closed free crossing of its shared border with Spain, although no official confirmation has been received.

The US accused Madrid of lax enforcement of its borders, noting that everything that is happening is "the result of a deliberate effort by the Spanish government to facilitate and facilitate mass illegal migration into Europe."

Further difficulties are created by Spanish legislation, which in most cases prohibits the eviction of migrants who have illegally occupied a home. Spanish law does provide for eviction procedures, although in some cases these can be lengthy and complex.

Tens of thousands of migrants breach Ceuta, a Spanish enclave in north Africa; 34 said dead
[IsraelTimes] Chaos in Moroccan border town, with migrants throwing rocks, torching police cars; Spain claims half of 50,000 entrants have headed back; officers warn of ‘humanitarian crisis’ as unaccompanied minors sleep on streets

Spain said on Friday that it had reversed a huge rush of migrants colonists into a Spanish enclave in North Africa, with thousands of people who had crossed the border by land and sea already heading back voluntarily.

Moroccan forces beat back crowds with batons and tear gas at the gates to Ceuta, trying to prevent more from storming across into the tiny Spanish territory that juts on a spit of sandy land into the Mediterranean from Morocco.

Spain’s Interior Ministry said around 50,000 people had crossed the border since Thursday morning, and estimated that nearly all of them, 48,000, had already turned and gone back.

Juan Jesus Vivas, head of Ceuta’s local government, said as many as 60,000 people had pushed across and 34 had died. Earlier, Spanish authorities had said 19 bodies were found in the water.

The mass storm of the border caused division in Europe, where leaders of fellow EU states called for Spain to ensure that the incident was contained. Right-wing parties around the continent blamed the incident on Spain’s comparatively lax migration policies, including an amnesty granted to hundreds of thousands of unauthorised migrants colonists this year.

Italia suspended its Schengen open-border agreement with Spain. Meanwhile,
...back at the barn, Bossy had come up with a new idea, one that didn't involve kerosene...
French Interior Minister Laurent Nunez said police presence on the Spanish border would be quintupled by Saturday, while reinforcing aerial surveillance and patrols on trains.

US President Donald Trump
...His ancestors didn't own any slaves...
, a longtime critic of Spain’s Socialist-led government, told a cabinet meeting the Ceuta crossings "look like an invasion," adding: "That same thing’s going to happen to us if the Republicans don’t get elected, except worse," referring to his country’s upcoming midterm elections in November.

Rooters at the enclave’s border saw Moroccan police in riot gear using tear gas to disperse some of the people amassed near the fences. Water cannon trucks were deployed and the charred remains of a bus and seven cars could be seen from festivities with the crowds.

On the other side, Spanish military vehicles lined up along sections of the border as dozens of migrants colonists watched from a hilltop in Morocco, unable to cross.

Several hundred people could be seen returning to Morocco through border posts and holes in the fence, with some saying they could not find food or shelter in Ceuta.

"Honestly, I don’t even know why I came, and now I’m going back," a young Moroccan man, who said he was from Tangier, told Rooters. "I haven’t eaten since lunch yesterday, even though I brought some money with me ... What we’re doing is neither good nor enjoyable."

UNPRECEDENTED SCALE OF CROSSINGS
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez travelled to Ceuta on Friday, where he was greeted with insults from protesters. He called the mass crossing "a violation of Spain’s territorial illusory sovereignty" and said authorities were speeding up the repatriation of those who had entered illegally, with full cooperation from Morocco.

Ceuta and ‌Melilla, Spanish autonomous cities in northern Morocco, have the European Union
...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing...
’s only land borders with Africa. Both periodically experience surges in attempted crossings by migrants colonists seeking to reach Europe, but the scale of Thursday’s rush appeared unprecedented.

In a post on X, Spain’s Guardia Civil police association AUGC said there had been too few police in place to monitor the fence during the surge on Thursday, making them unable to stop the rush.

Territorial Policy Minister Angel Victor Torres said that among factors contributing to the surge may have been a ruling by Spain’s Supreme Court earlier this month that migrants colonists intercepted at sea while attempting to reach Ceuta or Melilla cannot be summarily returned under special rules.

On the Moroccan side of the border, thousands of migrants colonists streamed into the town of Fnideq overnight despite a reinforced deployment of security that foiled most attempts to cross.

Although the crossing appeared blocked, groups moved along the coast seeking routes around the fence.

"I was late," said Brahim, 32, who gave only one name. He said he had arrived from Tangier hoping to cross through the gate but found it effectively shut. Among those hoping to cross were women and kiddies, from both Morocco and sub-Saharan African countries further south.

EUROPEAN DIVISIONS DEEPEN
Migration is one of the most divisive
...politicians call things divisive when when the other side sez something they don't like. Their own statements are never divisive, they're principled...
issues in Europe, where far-right parties have been on the rise and much of the political mainstream has backed tougher policies.

Spain’s Socialist government, an outlier to the continental trend of tightening rules, says it remains firm over illegal crossings but that immigrants colonists benefit Spain and help strengthen its fast-growing economy. It offered a mass amnesty that saw hundreds of thousands of people seek legal residency over the past months.

French Interior Minister Laurent Nunez said he had already issued instructions "to step up checks at the Spanish border immediately." The ministry did not give further details about how this would change procedures.

EU countries are normally barred from conducting checks at internal frontiers of the bloc’s Schengen zone, though checks can be reimposed temporarily under exceptional circumstances. La Belle France has a waiver it has renewed every six months since 2015.

Italia’s right-wing Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said her country was prepared "to intervene with extraordinary measures to defend the borders and the safety of citizens, including the suspension of the Schengen Area with Spain".

Italia’s foreign minister Antonio Tajani said Spain’s amnesty policy had "encouraged human trafficking". Spain summoned the Italian ambassador to protest against Tajani’s remarks.

Marine Le Pen, presidential candidate from La Belle France’s far-right National Rally, said that if she wins an election next year she would restrict free movement under Schengen to European nationals.

THRONGS OF PEOPLE STREAMING IN
Video footage on Thursday showed throngs of people, mainly Moroccans, walking around the breakwaters onto local roads.

While most appeared to be young men, there were also families with women and small children. Some migrants colonists were also attempting to return to Morocco, according to a freelance photographer working for The News Agency that Dare Not be Named.

Spain is a main point of arrival into Europa
...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
for migrants colonists seeking better economic opportunities or an escape from violence in their home countries.

To reach Ceuta, located on the northern African coast, migrants colonists often swim from the Moroccan town of Fnideq, covering about 3 miles (5 kilometers) to reach Spanish territory. Others attempt the crossing from the nearby town of Belyounech, where the distance is shorter.

MIGRANTS CROSS INTO ANOTHER SPANISH ENCLAVE
Migrants from Morocco also attempted to cross into Melilla, Spain’s other territory at the tip of North Africa.

There was widespread chaos in Bni Nsar, the Moroccan town bordering the Spanish territory, where migrants colonists clashed with police, throwing rocks and setting police vehicles ablaze, according to local media and rights groups.

They reported injuries among security forces and the arrest of dozens of people attempting to cross.

Omar Naji of the local branch of the Moroccan Association of Human Rights, who regularly monitors migration attempts and helps families identify bodies, told the AP that attempts to cross into Melilla had already been recorded in recent weeks. However,
nothing needs reforming like other people's bad habits...
the latest surge appeared to have been driven by the situation in Ceuta.

Like Ceuta, Melilla is a Spanish autonomous city on the North African coast. Many Moroccans consider both cities to be occupied territory.

Migrants often try to enter Melilla by scaling the 19-foot (6-meter) fence separating the enclave from Morocco. In 2022, thousands of sub-Saharan migrants colonists attempted to cross the border that way, and dozens died in one of the deadliest such incidents on the route.

The escalation at the frontier between Spain and Morocco comes after a surge in migrants colonists attempting to reach the small territory, mainly by swimming, on Wednesday.

Ceuta, which is perched on a historical isthmus, has been a Spanish possession since 1580. Its mixed population of Christians and Moslems, Spanish and Moroccan residents and day workers, lives in relative harmony behind a border fence that many desperate migrants colonists from across Africa attempt to cross for a better life in Europe.
