Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, speaking in Ceuta on Friday, reaffirmed his government's commitment to migrant integration, calling the city's human diversity 'one of its greatest attractions and sources of strength.' The statement comes as Ceuta faces a massive migrant influx that has strained its infrastructure.
During a visit to the Spanish enclave of Ceuta on Friday, Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez reiterated his government's support for migrant integration, describing the city's diversity as a key asset. The statement, reported by local media, comes amid a severe migrant crisis that has seen tens of thousands of people cross into the enclave from Morocco in recent days. Sánchez's remarks follow criticism from opposition leaders and European governments that have called for stricter border controls and even Spain's isolation from the Schengen zone. The prime minister said: 'With all due respect to the governor of Ceuta, we have spoken many times about the importance of coexistence in this city. I believe that the human diversity in it is one of its greatest attractions, and also one of its greatest sources of strength. This is a value that every government must preserve — not only through our policies and actions, but also through our words. The Spanish government will always stand behind this principle.'
