Summary

A neutral summary of the key facts most outlets agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

EU interior ministers backed Spain’s response at emergency talks Tuesday after about 72,000 migrants crossed from Morocco into Ceuta between July 30 and 31, Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska said. Spain said about 70,000 had returned to Morocco, while roughly 1,000 unaccompanied minors remained in Ceuta, straining shelters and child-protection services. EU migration chief Magnus Brunner urged tighter external-border controls, faster returns and action against smuggling networks, while criticizing Spain’s plan to regularize undocumented migrants as “not a good signal” for Europe.
