The European Parliament held a debate on the Ceuta crisis, in an atmosphere marked by strong political contestation between the different parliamentary groups.
The EPP and other right-wing groups are pressing for the approval of a resolution that directly criticizes Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez and demands a stricter migration policy on the part of Spain.
The Socialists and Democrats are expected to defend the Spanish position during the debate and call for greater European solidarity on migration matters.
The debate comes in a context of internal political tension in Spain, where the management of the migration crisis in Ceuta, the Spanish enclave in North Africa, has become a controversial topic both at national and European level.
