数千人从摩洛哥冲破边界进入西班牙在北非的飞地休达[1]。休达当局向马德里政府请求宣布国家紧急状态,并要求陆军进行干预[1]。西班牙内政部随后表示,政府无法因移民问题宣布全国紧急状态[2],但承诺将保障公民安全和边境完整[2]。
这次大规模越境事件标志着局势进一步升级,前一天已有大批移民试图游泳进入休达[2]。移民通常从摩洛哥城镇卡斯蒂略斯游泳约5公里抵达西班牙领土[2]。休达是一个人口约85,000的飞地,具有混合的基督教和穆斯林人口构成[2]。2021年5月,摩洛哥政府曾放松边境管制,导致8,000人在两天内涌入休达[2]。
Thousands of people broke through the border into Ceuta, Spain's North African enclave, on Thursday [1]. The surge of migrants, predominantly from Morocco, has prompted local authorities to request that Madrid declare a state of national emergency and deploy the military [1]. However, Spain's Interior Ministry refused to declare a nationwide state of emergency over the migration issue, stating instead that the government would ensure citizen safety and border integrity [2].
The influx represents a significant escalation following earlier attempts by migrants to swim into Ceuta [2]. Migrants typically travel approximately five kilometers by swimming from the Moroccan town of Castillejos to reach Spanish territory [2]. Ceuta, which has a population of 85,000 and comprises both Christian and Muslim communities, has become a focal point for migrant arrivals from Morocco [2]. This incident echoes a previous crisis in May 2021, when Morocco relaxed its border controls, allowing approximately 8,000 people to enter Ceuta within two days [2].
