'Swift response' — Why EU ministers are backing Spain's handling of Ceuta border crisis | DW News

Spain says Europe's visa-free Schengen area was NOT compromised after tens of thousands of irregular migrants crossed into the Spanish exclave of Ceuta. The EU's 27 home affairs ministers backed Spain's response to the incident following emergency talks on Tuesday. The Spanish government says 70 thousand migrants have already returned over the border to Morocco, leaving two thousand still in the exclave. DW's Nimisha Jaiswal is in Ceuta and Brussels correspondent Rosie Birchard covers the EU emergency meeting.
