Hungary and Czech Republic criticized the European Union's aid granted to Spain to manage the entry of migrants in the city of Ceuta, which is a Spanish enclave in northern Africa.
The two countries accused the Spanish government of not having fulfilled its duty to protect European borders. This criticism arises in the context of a broader debate about the management of the EU's external borders and the distribution of responsibilities among member states.
The EU's aid to Spain for the Ceuta situation generated controversy among some member states, who consider that each country must assume primary responsibility for protecting its own borders.
