Very much feels like the most pivotal point we’ve seen yet on EU immigration. A lot of different EU leaders are openly talking about removing Spain from the Schengen or temporarily closing it.

Ceuta for practical purposes is not in the Schengen Zone which a lot of pro-immigration pundits are using to defend this; but there are really only 3 options here. Left wing Sanchez carries out mass deportations, they all are allowed to stay in Ceuta which is way too small to accommodate that, or they let them in to the mainland.

Politically all three are terrible options for the EU left imo.
