Spain will press European Union member states for greater solidarity over the migration crisis in Ceuta, with the Spanish government stating that the city represents a unique external border of the bloc that requires a tailored response. "We are probably talking about the most unequal border in the world because it separates the European Union from the African continent," he said. The comments came ahead of a meeting of EU interior ministers requested by Spain after ambassadors from EU member states met to discuss the situation. Addressing the sequence of events that led to the crisis, Mr Albares maintained Spain's position that Morocco had cooperated from the outset. He said Spain would seek EU support to strengthen border management, combat disinformation and maintain close diplomatic cooperation with Morocco.
