The Portuguese Minister of Foreign Affairs, Paulo Rangel, today criticized measures with a "pull effect" for migrants implemented in Ceuta, referring to the extraordinary regularization of immigrants promoted by the Spanish Government.
The extraordinary regularization of hundreds of thousands of immigrants by Spain was the target of Rangel's criticism, who warned about the consequences that this type of migratory policy can have on European borders.
The Portuguese official expressed his concern about the impact that Spanish policies may have on the migratory management of the region, suggesting that measures of this kind may attract more migratory flows to the Ceuta area.
Paulo Rangel's position arises in the context of migratory tensions at the southern European border, where Portugal and Spain deal with common challenges related to immigration and the need to coordinate effective policies between the two countries.
