French Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez announced on Friday that he has ordered reinforced border checks and protection along the French-Spanish border, citing the migrant crisis in the Spanish enclave of Ceuta. The migrant crisis, which has seen tens of thousands of migrants enter Ceuta from Morocco since last week, has prompted political reactions across Europe. As The Zioneer reported, the Spanish Interior Ministry estimated approximately 49,000 migrants entered the enclave in 24 hours. Nuñez's order underscores France's concern about the potential spillover of the migration wave.
