🇪🇸🇪🇺 We went to Ceuta to see the situation first-hand. We saw a European border under enormous pressure and a clear sign that the time to act is now. The message from MEPs @ManfredWeber, @LenaDuepontMdEP, @tomastobe and @DolorsMM is clear: Spain must make full use of the Migration and Asylum Pact and the Return Regulation. Ceuta is Europe. It is time to regain control of our borders.

Ceuta is Europe! Member States, not smugglers, must decide who enters Europe. We can't let smuggling networks continue exploiting human lives for business. In Ceuta we can see the disastrous result of irresponsible migration policies. Ceuta shows the time to act is now: Spain must make full use of the Migration and Asylum Pact and the Return Regulation today, not tomorrow! We need faster returns, stronger cooperation with third countries, and Spain must make use of every available EU support. Ceuta, you are not alone! The EPP Group stands firmly with you

Being here, in Ceuta, we clearly see why we must act — and act together. We need faster returns, stronger cooperation with third countries, and Spain must make use of every available EU support. Partnership means reciprocity. Our partners must honour their commitments.

Here, in Ceuta, one thing is clear: Member States, not smugglers, must decide who enters Europe.

Ceuta shows the time to act is now: Spain must make full use of the Migration and Asylum Pact and the Return Regulation today, not tomorrow!

Ceuta shows the time to act is now: Spain must make full use of the Migration and Asylum Pact and the Return Regulation today, not tomorrow! The swift and effective return of all those remaining illegally must be the utmost priority.

Hoy he visitado Ceuta junto a los presidentes @NunezFeijoo y @ManfredWeber, y hemos visto con nuestros propios ojos el fracaso absoluto de Sánchez dos meses después de la invasión. Playas ocupadas. 13.000 irregulares deambulando sin control. Un pueblo que siente miedo y abandono de quienes deben defenderlo. Ceuta es una ciudad herida, pero valiente, y no la vamos a dejar sola. Donde no esté Sánchez, allí estará Europa.

Ceuta is Spain 🇪🇸

Ceuta is Spain 🇪🇸 — national sovereignty and territorial integrity are non-negotiable. Ceuta is Europe 🇪🇺— Ceuta’s border is Europe’s border. Europe stands with you and the people of Ceuta, dear President @JuanVivasLara. Order and security must be restored.

Europe stands with Ceuta.

Dear @NunezFeijoo you are not only leading the way—your strength, determination and true commitment to the people of Ceuta are an example of leadership when it matters most. You are right, Ceuta needs: Normalidad. Verdad. Futuro. Europe stands with Ceuta. The @EPPGroup is you.
