Trump on the Ceuta situation: "Spain is a country with zero border control"

El Periódico Mediterráneo - General6 September 2026 at 07:31

The president of the United States, Donald Trump, described as "sad" what is happening in Ceuta on Sunday, referring to the massive entry of migrants into the Spanish city last July.

Trump stated that Spain is a country with "zero control" of its borders, thus criticizing Spanish management of the migratory situation in the autonomous city located in North Africa.

The American president's statement comes in the context of the migratory crisis that Ceuta faced in July, when thousands of people tried to cross the border into Spanish territory.

This is not the first time Trump has commented on migratory issues in European territory, maintaining a known position on border controls and immigration.

Church: Patriarch of Lisbon challenges Catholic communities to promote unity and combat indifference

The Patriarch of Lisbon, D. Rui Valério, presided over the closing Mass of the 52nd National Encounter of Fraternal Gatherings at the Sanctuary of Fatima, calling for a missionary attitude and service to unity, warning that "it is not enough to be together to be united" and that Christian unity comes from Christ, not just from sympathy or friendship. In his homily before thousands of people at Cova da Iria, the prelate criticized "activism" without true service, defended that Christians cannot live "closed in their individual salvation" and called for a fraternity that combats indifference, with the courage to speak truth to "save the relationship, never destroy the other." D. Rui Valério also urged Christians not to be afraid to go out on mission, starting with "concrete faces" such as young people who have lost the meaning of life, families that need support, or people distant from faith.

Europeans prefer to face heat waves with air conditioning despite CO2 emissions

A recent study reveals that the majority of Europeans prefer to use air conditioning to face heat waves, even knowing the associated environmental impact. In all countries analyzed, except Italy, between 41% and 48% of respondents give priority to air conditioning to reduce the effects of extreme temperatures, while only 20% to 33% opt to prioritize reducing CO2 emissions. This preference reflects a dilemma between immediate comfort and long-term environmental concerns in Europe.
