Spain's foreign minister vowed to send ‘every last person’ back to Morocco today after 70,000 migrants stormed the Spanish enclave of Ceuta.
He stressed that storming the border into EU territory ‘does not grant anyone the right to remain’ during a visit to the enclave, which borders Morocco in North Africa but is Spanish and EU soil.
He set out the no-nonsense stance during a visit to Ceuta, which came under siege last month by 70,000 migrants after they swam from Morocco, taking advantage of weak security.
It comes amid a much tougher line being toed among EU nations against illegal crossings into the Continent.
However, Labour ditched the proposals after winning the 2024 election amid concerns from human rights groups that it breached the Refugee Convention.
