Ceuta President Vivas Urges EU to Take Firm Action Against Morocco

Ceuta president Juan Jesús Vivas said the exclave is 'on the brink of collapse' and accused Morocco of pursuing a 'policy of harassment' against the city, urging the EU to make clear that fruitful cooperation with Rabat 'begins by respecting our borders.' Vivas distanced himself from Madrid's characterization of Morocco as a 'trusted partner,' noting the European Commission is financing Morocco's migration management strategy with €160 million through 2027.
