South African anti-migrant protesters rallied in Durban vow to keep up their months-long fight to get undocumented migrants to leave the country
Ceuta is on alert. Spanish forces are patrolling the border after fresh calls on social media for migrants to cross from Morocco. The warnings follow a dramatic crisis on July 30 and 31, when more than 70,000 people entered the Spanish territory by swimming around the border fence.
Sofia Alvarez Jurado, investigative journalist, member of the Deportation project speaks about the international investigation into Trump’s migrant policy.
At least 10,000 of the 72,000 migrants who broke through fence from Morocco in July remain in the Spanish enclave.
Delano D'Souza is pleased to welcome Alana Moceri, International Relations Professor at IE School of Politics, Economics and Global Affairs. She sees the Ceuta migrant crossings as a both a domestic and international crisis. The scale and speed of the crossings point toward what she calls a form of "deliberate permissiveness" at the border and Pedro Sánchez's restrained response is understood less as exoneration of Morocco than as pragmatic international relations. Sánchez faces pressure at home from political opponents able to frame migration as an existential crisis. She extends the argument further by showing how such episodes become politically valuable after they occur: Spain's far right can amplify the language of "invasion," while hostile foreign information ecosystems can exploit an already volatile controversy without necessarily having created it. The result is a crisis in which the border is simultaneously a geopolitical instrument, a domestic political weapon, and an information battleground.
Conflicting comments from One Nation figures have raised questions about the party's migration target.
