Summary
Morocco has sent approximately 60,000 migrants to the Spanish enclave of Ceuta, sparking a new crisis that highlights low trust between EU member states and the potential use of migration as a political tool. The influx has intensified debates over a contentious ruling by the Spanish Supreme Court and the EU's new migration pact, which aims to accelerate border controls and deportations. While fears of a repeat of the 2015 migration crisis are strong, the current scale of arrivals is significantly lower. The incident has also been seized upon by extreme political parties and raises questions about the instrumentalization of migration by the Moroccan authorities.
