Italy and Denmark, alongside 20 other European Union leaders, have urged an urgent coordinated response to the recent surge in irregular migration at the Ceuta border. The letter, addressed to EU officials, highlights concerns over uncontrolled crossings, migrant trafficking networks, and the need to prevent illegal entries. It calls for the Irish EU Council presidency to convene an emergency video conference of Interior Ministers to assess the situation and agree on unified measures. The leaders emphasize strengthening external borders, combating smuggling, and addressing factors incentivizing migration. They also stress the importance of the Chisinau Declaration on migration and reaffirm solidarity among member states. The letter notes Spain and Morocco’s cooperation in returning migrants and requests EU support to restore border control. All 22 signatories stress the necessity of swift, effective action to protect EU borders and maintain public order.
