WorldCeuta events show how Europe’s hard right now sets the immigration agenda

The events in Ceuta illustrate how the European hard right is shaping the immigration debate and influencing mainstream EU policy. Spain is becoming increasingly isolated because of its humanitarian approach to border control. More than 70,000 people swam or waded from neighboring Morocco into the small Spanish enclave in North Africa within hours last week. The heavily secured border’s sudden opening remains unexplained, while the human cost and EU divisions will take much longer to repair.
