西班牙北非飞地塞乌塔（Ceuta）周四至周五期间发生严重的移民大规模冲越边境事件，造成至少72人丧生[1]。据西班牙当局报告，在此期间约有5万至6万名移民进入该城市[1]。医疗服务已救治超过1000人[1]。
西班牙政府迅速采取行动应对危机。当局在48小时内将超过4.8万名非法移民遣返摩洛哥[1]，并于周六在边境安装了500米长的浮动屏障以加强安全防护[1]。西班牙总理桑切斯声称西班牙是欧盟"渗漏性最低的外部边界之一"[1]。
这一事件引发了欧盟内部的明显分裂。意大利在周五宣布单方面暂停与西班牙的申根协议一个月[1]。欧盟27个成员国中的22个要求召开紧急会议[1]，爱尔兰欧盟主席国随后定于周二召开欧盟内政部长紧急视频会议[1]。丹麦和芬兰呼吁重新考虑西班牙的申根参与资格[1]，而德国总理默茨则呼吁摩洛哥"毫不迟延地"接收非法移民[1]。
A massive migrant surge into the Spanish North African enclave of Ceuta resulted in significant loss of life and prompted swift deportations and heightened border security measures. Between 50,000 and 60,000 people breached the border into Ceuta on Thursday and Friday, with at least 72 deaths occurring during the two-day period [1]. Spanish authorities responded by deporting more than 48,000 of the migrants back to Morocco within 48 hours [1]. Medical services treated over 1,000 people in response to the crisis [1].
To prevent future crossings, Spanish authorities installed a 500-meter floating barrier on Saturday [1]. The incident has sparked significant tension within the European Union, with Italy unilaterally suspending the Schengen Agreement with Spain for one month as of Friday [1]. The breach prompted calls for emergency action, as 22 of the EU's 27 member states requested an urgent meeting [1]. Ireland's EU presidency scheduled an emergency video conference of EU interior ministers for Tuesday [1]. Spain's Prime Minister Sánchez defended the country's border security, describing Spain as having "one of the lowest leakage rates among EU external borders" [1]. Meanwhile, Germany's Chancellor Mertz called on Morocco to receive illegal migrants "without delay" [1], and Denmark and Finland have questioned Spain's continued participation in the Schengen zone [1].
