TASS · back to the audit

BRUSSELS, August 1. /TASS/. The EU "will hold a videoconference of its interior ministers on August 4" to address the Ceuta migrant emergency, per "a source in the EU institutions."

Albares said "some [European] governments failed to rise to the occasion."

"And this is what we are demanding from other European nations."

Ceuta and Melilla "had never posed a threat to the integrity of the Schengen zone."

"From the very beginning, Morocco offered assistance, seeking to stop the flow of people and ensure that they returned home immediately."

Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska said some EU members had "acted selfishly."

Background: "tens of thousands" swam/walked in, troops deployed, "at least 72 people died"; several EU countries sought review of Spain's Schengen membership and Rome announced suspension of Schengen travel agreements with Madrid.
